Correlation of Body Mass Index with Anthropometric and Biochemical Parameters Among Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Phenotypes.

ABSTRACT: This was a prospective observational study, conducted at a tertiary care health centre in Rajasthan. A total of 68 women with PCOS (Rotterdam criteria) attending OPD at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology qualified as per inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study. Each participant was examined for anthropometric and biochemical parameters. The largest phenotypic group was phenotype A, (41.17%); followed by B (26.47%); C (20.58%), and D (P + O) phenotypes (11.76%). Hyperandrogenic phenotypes (A, B, C), had significantly higher prevalence of deranged serum glucose (fasting and postprandial), lipid profile and serum TSH than normoandrogenic phenotype D. BMI was strongly correlated with anthropometric (p < 0.001) and biochemical parameters (p < 0.05) in phen
