A study on prevalence and predictors of risk For metabolic syndrome in indian women With polycystic ovary syndrome
Objectives were to compare the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in Indian women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) using 'International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria' and the 'Joint Interim Criteria 2009', and also to assess the metabolic risk factors for associated with this syndrome. This cross sectional study was done on 196 women with PCOS (68 adolescents and 128 adults). Clinical and biochemical tests in each case were done as per recommendations. MS was diagnosed as per the IDF and the Joint Interim 2009 criteria.MS was found in 47.4% (as per IDF criteria) and 59.5% (as per Joint Interim criteria) cases (p= 0.01). Adolescents and adults were equally affected, irrespective of the definition used (p= 0.01 by IDF and p= 0.04 by Joint interim criteria). Prevalence of MS in adolescents utilizing the two definitions, was not significantly different (p= 0.06). Same is also true for adults (p= 0.04). Women with MS, both adolescents and adults, had higher BMI (body mass index) irrespective of the definition used (p= 0.00001). In adults, age of those with MS was significantly higher than those without MS (p= 0.001). Dyslipidemia was more common than elevated fasting blood sugar, using either of the definitions (p= 0.00001). There was no difference in the incidences of elevated blood pressure (systolic and or diastolic) using the two definitions.It remains to be seen by further studies the benefits of identifying more cases of MS in PCOS using the Joint Interim Criteria.
