May prompt closer metabolic monitoring in PCOS; extends evidence on component drivers but requires prospective validation.
Meta-Analysis (n=20,993)
Does polycystic ovary syndrome increase the risk of metabolic syndrome in women compared to healthy controls?
Odds Ratio: 2.09 (95% CI 1.67–2.6)
Women with PCOS have a two-fold higher odds of having metabolic syndrome compared to healthy controls, driven primarily by low HDL and high waist circumference.
Hallajzadeh et al. (2018) conducted a meta-analysis in Polycystic ovary syndrome (n=20,993). Polycystic ovary syndrome vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Metabolic syndrome (MetS) (OR 2.09, 95% CI 1.67-2.60). Women with polycystic ovary syndrome had a two-fold increased odds of metabolic syndrome compared to healthy controls (OR 2.09).
