Nutrient gaps are prevalent among women experiencing infertility, a cross-sectional analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 2013–2020
These findings suggest lower intake of key nutrients among women with infertility, especially those aged 35-44. Future studies are needed to understand the implications of nutrient gaps for conception. Across all age groups, and fertility status, gaps in nutrients that are important for overall health were evident, underscoring the need for public health strategies to address broad dietary improvements.
