The impact of Hookah on anti-Mullerian hormone level

Abstract EN

Purpose : The aim of our study is to determine if smoking hookah has an effect on ovarian reserve by measuring the serum levels of Anti- Mullerian hormone.

Material and methods : A cross-sectional study was performed at the fertility clinic at Prince Ali Hospital, in the city of Karak, Jordan.

Two hundred healthy women within the 20 to 35 years age range, were chosen from those attending the fertility clinic.

AMH serum levels were checked on one occasion on day 2–4 of the menstrual cycle.

Data was collected from November 2020 to July 2021.

The serum levels of AMH of 100 smoking hookah women were compared to the other non-smoking hookah women and results were analysed by Chi-square and independent samples T-result.

Result : A total of 200 hundred women were enrolled in the study.

The mean age of the participants was 29 ±0.6 years.

The mean AMH level was (2.29 ± 0.106 ng/mL) in hookah non- smokers compared to (1.5 ± 0.126 ng/mL) in hookah smokers.

P values ≤ 0.05 were considered statistically significant.

There is a considerable variation in Anti-Mullerian hormone levels between smokers and non-smokers.

Conclusion : Hookah smoking has a significant effect on serum Anti-Mullerian hormone levels.
