Abstract EN
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disturbances in women of reproductive age.
Besides its well-known effects on reproductive health, it is also linked to increased cardiovascular risk in later life.
The aim of this study is to investigate some classical cardiovascular risk factors in a crossectional study of Bulgarian women with PCOS and/or obesity.
We performed a retrospective medical chart review of 375 women from an university endocrine clinic.
We found significant differences in the indices of carbohydrate metabolism, blood pressure, lipid profile, rate of liver steatosis, and the levels liver enzymes and hematological results between the lean and obese PCOS women.
Obese women without PCOS did not show significantly different results in their OGGT form obese PCOS women.
Waist-to-stature-ratio (WSR) correlated better with the baseline IRI levels and lipid profile than waist-to-hip-ratio (WHR) that makes it a better marker for unfavorable metabolic profile.
