In PCOS patients with normal BMI, approximately 60% have elevated body fat percentage, impacting hormonal profiles and metabolism.
Does elevated body fat percentage affect hormonal profiles, metabolism, and adipokine levels in PCOS patients with a normal BMI?
Elevated body fat percentage is highly prevalent (60%) in normal-BMI PCOS patients and is associated with adverse hormonal and metabolic disruptions, highlighting the need for body composition analysis.

More attention should be given to PCOS patients with a normal BMI. Our study revealed that approximately 60 % of these patients have elevated BFP. A high BFP can lead to disruptions in sex hormone levels, metabolism and adipokine levels, which may further affect pregnancy outcomes. These findings suggest that a more intense focus on body composition analysis and BFP control is needed in the diagnosis and treatment of PCOS.
