In addition, infertile women are 70% more likely to die from diabetes, although women with and without infertility have similar rates of diabetes.

These results are presented at the annual American Reproductive Biology Conference in Texas.

In the study, the research team examined 78,214 women between 1992 and 2001, of which infertility was reported in 14.5% of the total population studied.

Stentz said: "This study also raises important questions about the long-term effects of infertility and whether it is pure infertility or a basic condition that leads to many other medical conditions. half?' .
