Predictors of Abnormal Glucose Tolerance among Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by hyperandrogenism and chronic anovulation, and it is one of the most common endocrine disorders, affecting 5% to 10% of reproductive age women [1]. Although the etiology of the syndrome is complex, insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia are thought to play a major role in the pathophysiology of PCOS. Insulin resistance is thought to be caused by obesity, although recent studies have found that underweight women with PCOS are more likely to show insulin resistance than a normal control group. These results suggest that PCOS is independent of body weight for underweight women, although it is widely accepted that obesity is a key factor in insulin resistance in the general population.

BACKGROUND The Canadian and American Diabetes Associations recommend the use of an oral glucose tolerance test to screen for abnormal glucose tolerance among women with polycystic ovary syndrome when their fasting plasma glucose level is 5.7 mmol/L or more (Canadian guideline) and 5.6 mmol/L or more (American). Our objective was to determine the predictive value of 5.6 mmol/L as a fasting plasm...
