The objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between lipid metabolism and ART outcomes in unstimulated natural cycles without the utilization of ovarian induction drugs, which is still uncertain.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This retrospective study included infertile women with PCOS between 21 and 40 years old undergoing unstimulated natural cycles from January 01, 2006 to December 31, 2019. Lipid metabolism was measured by body mass index (BMI) and serum biochemical parameters including total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C and LDL-C). ART outcomes were measured by number of oocytes retrieved, oocyte maturation quality and developmental potential, clinical pregnancy and live birth.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 586 patients were included in this study. Multivariate Poisson log-linear analysis showed that high TC (\u22655.18 mmol\/L), triglycerides (TG) (\u22651.76 mmol\/L), LDL-C (\u22653.37 mmol\/L) levelsand low HDL-C levels (\u22641.04 mmol\/L) were significantly (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic><jats:sub><jats:italic>TC<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sub> = 0.001, <jats:italic>P<jats:sub><jats:italic>TG<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sub><\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001, <jats:italic>P<jats:sub><jats:italic>HDL<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sub><jats:sub>\u2013C<\/jats:sub><\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001, <jats:italic>P<jats:sub><jats:italic>LDL<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sub><jats:sub>\u2013C<\/jats:sub><\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001) associated with increased number of oocytes retrieved. BMI was significantly negatively associated with maturation rate (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001), fertilization rate (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001) and transferrable embryo rate (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.002).
