Overview
Infertility is more commonly seen in women >40 years of age. Women who are >35 have a decline in fertility.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence of infertility varies depending on if the infertility is classified as primary or secondary infertility[1].
- Some studies state that around 25% of couples globally are faced with infertility and childlessness. This number varies according to geographical region, age bracket and other such factors. [2]
- In the US, it is estimated that around 12.5% of women between the ages of 20-44 have reported being infertile according to the National Health and Nutrition Examination survey [3]
- In general, fertility among women declines with age. Age related decline is seen in women around 32 years of age, after which there is a sharper decline in fertility and fecundity. [1]
