Overview

Descriptive cross-sectional study shows insulin resistance prevalent in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome, indicating links to obesity and dyslipidemia.

Key Points

  • Insulin resistance was found in 68% of women with polycystic ovary syndrome, highlighting its prevalence in this population.
  • A significant association was observed between insulin resistance and body mass index, menstrual irregularity, and lipid abnormalities.
  • The mean Homeostatic Model Assessment for insulin resistance was 4.3 in the resistant group, suggesting poor insulin sensitivity compared to 2.1 in the non-resistant group.
  • Routine screening for insulin resistance is vital to prevent long-term metabolic complications in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
