Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disturbances in women of reproductive age. Besides its well-known effects on reproductive health, it is also linked to increased cardiovascular risk in later life. The aim of this study is to investigate some classical cardiovascular risk factors in a crossectional study of Bulgarian women with PCOS and/or obesity. We performed a retrospective medical chart review of 375 women from an university endocrine clinic. We found significant differences in the indices of carbohydrate metabolism, blood pressure, lipid profile, rate of liver steatosis, and the levels liver enzymes and hematological results between the lean and obese PCOS women. Obese women without PCOS did not show significantly different results in their OGGT form obese PCOS women. Waist-to-stature-ratio (WSR) correlated better with the baseline IRI levels and lipid profile than waist-to-hip-ratio (WHR) that makes it a better marker for unfavorable metabolic profile.
多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)是育龄女性中最常见的内分泌紊乱疾病之一。除了其对生殖健康的众所周知的影响外,它还与晚年心血管疾病风险增加有关。本研究的目的是在一项针对保加利亚患有PCOS和/或肥胖症的女性的横断面研究中,调查一些经典的心血管危险因素。我们对一所大学内分泌诊所的375名女性进行了回顾性病历审查。我们发现,瘦型和肥胖型PCOS女性在碳水化合物代谢指标、血压、血脂谱、肝脂肪变性率以及肝酶水平和血液学结果方面存在显著差异。无PCOS的肥胖女性在口服葡萄糖耐量试验(OGGT)中的结果与肥胖型PCOS女性无显著差异。腰高比(WSR)与基线胰岛素抵抗指数(IRI)水平和血脂谱的相关性比腰臀比(WHR)更好,这使其成为不良代谢状况的更好指标。
