Supports targeted CV risk evaluation in Indian women with PCOS; leaves open prospective outcome confirmation.
Case-Control (n=150)
Do pre-menopausal Indian women with PCOS have elevated cardiovascular risk factors compared to healthy controls?
Absolute Event Rate: 85.82% vs 78.84%
Pre-menopausal Indian women with PCOS exhibit increased central adiposity, insulin resistance, and pro-inflammatory factors, indicating a higher risk for future cardiovascular complications.
Sharma et al. (2015) conducted a case-control in Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) (n=150). Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) vs. Controls was evaluated on Waist circumference (cm). Pre-menopausal Indian women with PCOS had greater central adiposity (waist circumference 85.82 vs 78.84 cm) and higher pro-thrombotic and pro-inflammatory factors compared to controls.
