Forty-seven women (29 with unexplained infertility and 18 with menstrual dysfunction) practiced weight control by caloric restriction in order to maintain a fashionable body habitus. All of these women were below ideal body weight (IBW) when compared with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company tables for height and weight. When 36 of these women followed a dietary regimen designed to increase their weight to predicted IBW, 19 of 26 infertile women (73%) conceived spontaneously; 9 of 10 women (90%) with secondary amenorrhea resumed menstruation. Eleven women (23%) would not accept their practice of weight control as the cause of reproductive failure and did not participate in the study. Differences in the serum gonadotropin luteinizing hormone:follicle-stimulating hormone (LH:FSH) ratio were found to be significantly related to differences in the percentage of IBW. The practice of weight control may be a cause of unexplained infertility and menstrual disorders in otherwise healthy women.
47名女性（29名患有不明原因不孕症，18名患有月经功能紊乱）通过限制热量摄入来控制体重，以保持时尚的体型。与大都会人寿保险公司的身高体重表相比，所有这些女性的体重均低于理想体重（IBW）。当其中36名女性遵循旨在将体重增加到预测的理想体重的饮食方案时，26名不孕女性中有19名（73%）自然受孕；10名继发性闭经女性中有9名（90%）恢复了月经。11名女性（23%）不承认体重控制行为是导致生殖失败的原因，未参与该研究。血清促性腺激素黄体生成素与促卵泡生成素（LH:FSH）的比值差异与理想体重百分比差异显著相关。体重控制行为可能是原本健康的女性不明原因不孕和月经紊乱的一个原因。
