Variation in levels of AMH among Maya and non-Maya women in Campeche, Mexico.

Increasing age and progression through the menopausal transition were both associated with declining levels of AMH. The association between Maya ethnicity and a lower likelihood of detecting AMH is consistent with the early ages at menopause reported in previous studies. We considered a rapid life history model as an explanatory framework, and suggest, from an ecological perspective, that future research should consider measures of developmental stress that may compromise ovarian reserves.
