The glucose metabolism disorder and dyslipidemia among girls with different phenotype polycystic ovary syndrome

Background: this study aimed to determine the prevalence of glucose metabolism disorder and dyslipidemia in 14–18‑year‑old girls with different phenotype polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos). materials and methods: this descriptive, cross‑sectional study was conducted on 3200 high‑school adolescents aged 14–18 years in shiraz in 2010. selected parameters of metabolic syndrome (fasting blood glucose, glucose tolerance test [gtt], insulin level, triglyceride (tg), cholesterol, and high‑density lipoprotein [hdl]), based on adult treatment panel ш definition criteria, were compared between the “pcos” and control groups. results: results were compared at four main phenotypes. the level of serum tg was increased in the phenotype b (p = 0.03) and phenotype d (p = 0.01), compared to the control group. cholesterol and low‑density lipoprotein levels (p < 0.05) and gtt (p > 0.05) were increased, and hdl was decreased (was below 50) in all the four phenotypes and the control group (p > 0.05). conclusion: the risk of metabolic alterations of glucose metabolism disorder and dyslipidemia in pcos adolescents was more than non‑pcos counterparts.
