Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in Women with polycysticovariansyndrome

Abstract

The aim of this study was to use Rotterdam criteria to diagnose PCOS in women of reproductive age (both teenage girls and adult women). Two hundred and fifty women in their fertile years who have been diagnosed with PCOS are exposed to the current IDF guidelines for metabolic syndrome diagnosis. The prevalence of hirsutism/hyperandrogenism is higher in the metabolic syndrome population (61.7%) than in the non-metabolic syndrome group (38.3%), a statistically important difference with a P value of 0.001. Good lifestyle changes not only improve their menstrual and ovulatory symptoms, but they also help to prevent future cardiovascular and other morbid illnesses, paving the way for a healthy nation.
