Agarwal A.

Abstract :

Introduction : The objective of this study was to provide an estimate of prevalence of metabolic syndrome and it’s components among women with Polycystic ovarian syndrome in Eastern India. Material and methods : The present study assessed the clinical, anthropometric and hormonal parameters including prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the patients with PCOS. Results : The overall prevalence of metabolic syndrome according to the modified AHA/NHLBI ATP III (2005) criteria was 35%. 6.25 % cases were detected to have diabetes mellitus, 8.75% had impaired fasting glucose, and 8.75% had an impaired glucose test. Dyslipidemia was present in 70% cases of PCOS. Among all the risk factors, age and waist hip ratio ≥0.85 were strongly associated with the presence of metabolic syndrome. Conclusion : women with PCOS, particularly those with age ≥25 years or with central obesity (a waist hip ratio of ≥0.85), are at a higher risk of developing metabolic syndrome and should be offered screening tests.
