Abstract:

With the postponement of the childbearing age and the change of their living environment, more and more women of childbearing age are facing infertility. There are many factors that affect female fertility, and the preparation of diet is concerned. Specific nutrients in the dietary pattern can provide the nutrients needed by the body, which also improve female fertility by improving egg quality, regulating sex hormone levels, reducing oxidative stress, managing body mass and other ways. The four common dietary patterns, including the Mediterranean diet, dietary approaches to stop hypertension, anti-inflammatory diet and ketogenic diet, are closely related to female fertility. They have a considerable degree of overlap, with obvious differences in terms of dietary composition, characteristics and applicable population. At present, dietotherapy has been widely used and achieved relatively optimistic results. However, dietotherapy has not been applied to improve female fertility in clinical practice in China. The research progress of the effect of different dietary patterns on female fertility is summarized, with a view to providing reference for clinical treatment and scientific research.
