Composite cardiovascular health indices (Life’s essential 8 and Life’s crucial 9) and female infertility: an NHANES 2013–2018 cross−sectional analysis
Better composite cardiovascular health-captured by LE8 and LC9-is associated with lower prevalence of self-reported infertility. This cross-sectional design precludes causal inference. Given the nomogram's moderate AUC and lack of external validation, the model's clinical utility is limited. Prospective studies are warranted.
