Mediating role of sleep disorders in the association between depression and infertility: A cross‐sectional study using the National Health and nutrition examination survey
Our findings suggest that sleep disorders might play a critical mediating role in the relationship between depression and infertility. This highlights the importance of addressing sleep health in reproductive-aged women, particularly those with depression, as a potential strategy for improving fertility outcomes.
