Key result
All women with polycystic ovary syndrome and impaired glycemic status had insulin resistance, and clinical parameters like hirsutism and acanthosis were associated with its presence.

In women with PCOS, clinical features such as acanthosis, hirsutism, and abdominal obesity, along with impaired glycemic status, are strong indicators of underlying insulin resistance.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Clinical features may flag insulin resistance in PCOS with impaired glycemia; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.

Anuradha et al. (2017) conducted a cross-sectional in Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) (n=50). Impaired glycemic status and clinical features (hirsutism, acanthosis) vs. Normal glycemic status and absence of clinical features was evaluated on Presence of insulin resistance (HOMA >= 2.5) (p=<0.001). All women with polycystic ovary syndrome and impaired glycemic status had insulin resistance, and clinical parameters like hirsutism and acanthosis were associated with its presence.
