引言：体重指数和子宫内膜异位症的发病率之间存在着一个明确的负相关关系。然而，这些以人群为基础的研究主要依赖于自我报告的子宫内膜异位症病例，而不是手术证实的子宫内膜异位症，其中疾病的严重程度已被客观评估。目前的回顾性研究的目的是建立子宫内膜异位症和低体重指数之间的关系是否是独立的疾病severity.Methods：妇女月经和/或盆腔疼痛进行腹腔镜检查可疑子宫内膜异位症被招募为这项回顾性研究（n=509）。根据世界卫生组织的标准，女性按体重指数（kg/m2）分组：体重不足（
Introduction: There is a well-established inverse relationship between body mass index and frequency of endometriosis. However, these population-based studies have relied mostly on self-reported cases of endometriosis, rather than surgically confirmed endometriosis where disease severity has been objectively assessed. The aim of the current retrospective study was to establish whether the established relationship between endometriosis and low body mass index was independent of disease severity.Methods: Women with menstrual and/or pelvic pain undergoing laparoscopy for suspected endometriosis were recruited for this retrospective study (n=509). Women were grouped by body mass index (kg/m(2)) according to World Health Organization criteria: underweight (
