Objective: To analyze whether obesity is associated with infertility in women of reproductive age. Methods: The present investigation is an analytical, cross-sectional, retrospective observational study. For this purpose, 216 patients attending the Gynecology and Obstetrics clinic during the years 2014-2020 of the Hospital de la Amistad Perú - Corea Santa Rosa, Jose Cayetano Heredia and Jorge Reátegui Delgado in the city of Piura were evaluated. The sample was obtained by random probability sampling, from the review of the medical records physically and digitally. Of these patients, 108 were women with a diagnosis of infertility for group 1 and 108 fertile women for group 2. They were also divided into two groups, of which it was determined how many were obese. Results: It was found that the majority of patients without infertility did not have obesity (92.6%), while a significant proportion of patients with infertility did have obesity (58.3%). This suggests a strong association between obesity and infertility. Likewise, people with obesity are 20 times more likely to be infertile compared to those without obesity. On the other hand, the following were found among the variables that present significant differences between infertility groups: obesity, degree of obesity, alcohol consumption, polycystic ovary, hyperprolactinemia and hypothyroidism. Conclusions: Adjusted obesity alone presents a 38% probability of infertility. In comparison, if it is adjusted with hyperprolactinemia and polycystic ovary it explains better the probability of infertility in women
