Obesity is closely associated with PCOS and worsens its metabolic and reproductive characteristics. The aim of this study was to evaluate body composition in different PCOS phenotypes. We evaluated 365 PCOS women (PCOS: 25.05±6.24 kg/m2; 25.48±5.21 years) diagnosed using ESHRE/ASRM criteria and 125 BMI-matched healthy women (Controls: 25.41±5.16 kg/m2; 30.35±5.62 years). PCOS were analyzed through four phenotypes: a (anovulation (ANOV)...

Introduction: Insulin resistance is a common discriminator for a variety of chronic disorders including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It has recently been hypothesized that PCOS itself might be a risk for developing NAFLD.Methods: We analyzed 560 women with PCOS (BMI: 31.19±6.75 kg/m2, age: 25.62±6.05 years) diagnosed on the basis of ESHRE/ASRM criteria. The subjects were divided and ...

Introduction: Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) than healthy, age and BMI matched women. The aim of this study was to determine if novel abdominal adiposity index – lipid accumulation product (LAP), could predict MS in women with PCOS.Methods: PCOS was diagnosed using ESHRE/ASRM criteria. We evaluated 218 non-obese PCOS women (PCOS group: 22.4±3.6 kg/m2; 24.8±4.6 years)...
