The Importance of New Anthropometric Measurements in Detecting Cardio Metabolic Risk and Insulin Resistance in Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Single Center Experience

Abstract

Objective: Abdominal obesity is frequently seen in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). The evaluation of abdominal obesity might be important according to metabolic and cardiovascular dysfunctions in patients with PCOS. We aimed to evaluate the new anthropometric measurements in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and their relationship with cardiovascular risk and insulin resistance. Methods: We included 62 patients with PCOS and 38 healthy individuals as control. The clinical examinations, serum hormone levels and ultrasonographic findings of overs were evaluated. Anthropometric Measurements, HOMA-IR values and Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) measurements were evaluated. Results: The predictors of abdominal obesity as waist circumference, LAP, BAI, BRI, VAI, AVI, WHtR were significantly higher in patient with PCOS (p<0.01). HOMA-IR and CIMT were also significantly higher in patients with PCOS compared with controls (p<0.01). We found significant correlations between anthropometric measurements and CIMT and insulin resistance. Anthropometric measurements were also valuable in prediction of PCOS. Conclusion: Some of the measurements as BMI and waist/height ratio are used in evaluation of obesity. However, they had some limitations in prediction of obesity. We believe that recently used anthropometric measurements as waist circumference might be more useful predictors in evaluation of abdominal obesity and metabolic/cardiovascular risks in patients with PCOS.
