Abstract：Objective To analyze serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level and its influencing factors among female undergoing premarital and preconception examinations, so as to provide the evidence for optimizing reproductive health management measures. Methods Female who received free premarital and preconception examinations and voluntarily underwent serum AMH testing at Women and Children's Health Center of Gongshu District, Hangzhou City from January 2022 to April 2025 were selected as study subjects. Demographic information and reproductive history were collected through questionnaire survey. Venous blood was collected to detect thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), alanine aminotransferase, hemoglobin (Hb), and AMH levels. The original AMH values did not follow a normal distribution, but followed a normal distribution after natural logarithm transformation, recorded as ln (AMH). Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between variables, and multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for ln (AMH) levels among female undergoing premarital and preconception examinations. Results A total of 1 073 females undergoing premarital and preconception examinations were surveyed, with a mean age of (29.43±3.30) years. There were 959 females without pregnancy (89.38%) and 1 042 females without full-term live birth history (97.11%). The median AMH level was 3.85 (interquartile range, 3.63) ng/mL, and the mean ln (AMH) level was 1.27±0.75. The ln (AMH) levels were higher in females without pregnancy and without full-term live birth history (both P<0.05). The ln (AMH) level was negatively correlated with age (r=-0.260) and TSH (r=-0.093), and positively correlated with Hb (r=-0.260, -0.093, and 0.073, all P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age (β′=-0.253) and TSH (β′=-0.103) were statistically associated with ln (AMH) levels among female undergoing premarital and preconception examinations (both P<0.05). The associations of other variables with ln (AMH) levels were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). Conclusions Age and TSH level are influencing factors for AMH levels among female undergoing premarital and preconception examinations. AMH levels among female undergoing premarital and preconception examinations decrease with increasing age and increasing TSH level.
