چکیده
AIM To find out the incidence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in females with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and to assess the metabolic risk factors as per the definition of International Diabetes Federation. METHODS One hundred and seventeen females (39 adolescents and 78 adults) diagnosed with PCOS underwent assessments clinically and by appropriate laboratory tests for the evidence of MS, as per the criteria laid down by International Diabetes Federation. RESULTS MS was diagnosed in 54 cases (46.2%), of which 43.6% were adolescents and 47.4% were adults (difference not statistically significant). MS in females with PCOS had significantly higher body mass index compared to those who did not have MS, irrespective of age. Abnormalities in both the lipids were more common than fasting glucose abnormalities. CONCLUSION MS was found in 46.2% of females with PCOS, with both adolescents and adults being similarly affected. Dyslipidaemia is more common than impaired fasting glucose and finding one risk factor should prompt the clinician to search for other risk factors. All females with PCOS should undergo periodic screening for MS.
