Abstract
Background: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) plays a crucial role in female reproductive function. Body mass index (BMI), a measure of body fat, has been implicated in various health conditions, including reproductive disorders. However, the relationship between BMI and FSH levels in women remains a subject of ongoing research.
Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 200 women of reproductive age at King Faisal Specialized Hospital, Taif City. The study reviewed 200 medical records of women aged 15-50 who reported changes in appetite, excluding those with postmenopausal status, psychiatric disorders, thyroid disorders, immunological diseases, or cancer. Data on demographics, reproductive history, lifestyle factors, anthropometric measurements, FSH levels, appetite changes, and menstrual disorders were collected using a pre-designed checklist. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 26, employing chi-square tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and Spearman’s correlation coefficient.
Results: Over half (66%) of the participants were overweight or had mild-to-moderate obesity, with a mean BMI of 28.54 ± 6.93 kg/m² and FSH level of 10.77 ± 14.49 IU/l. No significant correlation was found between BMI and FSH levels (r = 0.13, p-value = 0.085). However, a positive correlation existed between FSH levels and participant age (r = 0.35, p-value <0.001).
Conclusion: This study found no association between BMI and FSH levels in women aged 15-50. Nevertheless, FSH levels increased with age in this population. The high prevalence of overweight and obesity highlights the need for weight management interventions to improve overall health and well-being.

Key words: women weight, obesity, normal weight, follicle stimulating hormone, body mass index: BMI
