Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a multifaceted endocrine disorder with profound implications for the reproductive and metabolic health of women. The utilization of anthropometric measures in the diagnosis and management of PCOS has gained increasing attention due to their practicality and predictive capacity for associated conditions such as obesity and insulin resistance. This review rigorously explores the application of various anthropometric indices, including body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, and advanced metrics such as the body shape index and body roundness index, wrist circumference, neck circumference. These indices offer critical insights into body fat distribution and its association with the metabolic and hormonal perturbations characteristic of PCOS. The review underscores the necessity of addressing obesity, a prevalent comorbidity in PCOS, through lifestyle modifications and personalized therapeutic approaches. By incorporating anthropometric evaluations into routine clinical practice, healthcare professionals can enhance diagnostic precision, optimize treatment strategies, and ultimately improve patient outcomes. This integrative approach not only facilitates the management of the metabolic challenges inherent in PCOS but also contributes to the development of more individualized therapeutic interventions, thereby enhancing the overall quality of life for women affected by PCOS.

Oral and Vaginal Hormonal Contraceptives Induce Similar Unfavorable Metabolic Effects in Women with PCOS: A Randomized Controlled Trial. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12082827. [PMID: 37109164 PMCID: PMC10143750 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12082827] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/08/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
This clinical trial aims to compare hormonal and metabolic changes after a 9-week continuous use of oral or vaginal combined hormonal contraceptives (CHCs) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). We recruited 24 women with PCOS and randomized them to use either combined oral (COC, n = 13) or vaginal (CVC, n = 11) contraception. At baseline and 9 weeks, blood samples were collected and a 2 h glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed to evaluate hormonal and metabolic outcomes. After treatment, serum sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels increased (p < 0.001 for both groups) and the free androgen index (FAI) decreased in both study groups (COC p < 0.001; CVC p = 0.007). OGTT glucose levels at 60 min (p = 0.011) and AUCglucose (p = 0.018) increased in the CVC group. Fasting insulin levels (p = 0.037) increased in the COC group, and insulin levels at 120 min increased in both groups (COC p = 0.004; CVC p = 0.042). There was a significant increase in triglyceride (p < 0.001) and hs-CRP (p = 0.032) levels in the CVC group. Both oral and vaginal CHCs decreased androgenicity and tended to promote insulin resistance in PCOS women. Larger and longer studies are needed to compare the metabolic effects of different administration routes of CHCs on women with PCOS.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder characterized by chronic ovulation dysfunction and overabundance of androgens; it affects 6-20% of women of reproductive age. PCOS involves various pathophysiological factors, and affected women usually have significant insulin resistance (IR), which is a major cause of PCOS. IR and compensatory hyperinsulinaemia have differing pathogeneses in various tissues, and IR varies among different PCOS phenotypes. Genetic and epigenetic changes, hyperandrogenaemia, and obesity aggravate IR. Insulin sensitization drugs are a new treatment modality for PCOS. We searched PubMed, Google Scholar, Elsevier, and UpToDate databases in this review, and focused on the pathogenesis of IR in women with PCOS and the pathophysiology of IR in various tissues. In addition, the review provides a comprehensive overview of the current progress in the efficacy of insulin sensitization therapy in the management of PCOS, providing the latest evidence for the clinical treatment of women with PCOS and IR.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Regarding the increased prevalence of obesity among children and adolescents, and the impact of obesity on insulin resistance (IR) and other metabolic disorders, this study was performed to determine the association of cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRFs) with IR in overweight and obese children. METHOD In this cross-sectional study 150 overweight and obese children (BMI ≥ 85th and BMI ≥ 95th age-sex specific percentile) and adolescents were selected via convenient sampling method from Endocrinology clinic in Karaj; Iran in 2020. Anthropometric indices, lipid profile, fasting blood glucose (FBG), and Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) were evaluated. IR was defined as HOMA-IR ≥ 2.6. Multivariable linear and logistic regression model was used to assess the association of CMRFs with insulin level and IR respectively. RESULTS The mean age of children was 10.37 (± 2.6) years. Fifty-four percent of the participants were girls. IR was increased through increasing age (P < 0.001). In the multivariate logistic regression model, by increasing each unit increment in waist circumference (OR: 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.06), wrist circumference (OR: 1.47, 95% CI: 1.06-2.02) total cholesterol (OR: 1.01, 95% CI: 1.003-1.03) and FBG (OR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.05-1.18) the odds of IR increased significantly. Moreover, in the adjusted linear regression model, HOMA-IR was associated significantly with waist to height ratio (β: 2.45), and FBG (β: 0.02). CONCLUSION There was a significant association between some CMRFS with IR in overweight and obese children.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders, affecting 5%-10% of women of reproductive age. The importance of this syndrome lies in the magnitude of associated comorbidities: infertility, metabolic dysfunction, cardiovascular disease (CVD), plus psychological and oncological complications. Insulin resistance (IR) is a prominent feature of PCOS with a prevalence of 35%-80%. Without adequate management, IR with compensatory hyperinsulinemia contributes directly to reproductive dysfunction in women with PCOS. Furthermore, epidemiological data shows compelling evidence that PCOS is associated with an increased risk of impaired glucose tolerance, gestational diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes. In addition, metabolic dysfunction leads to a risk for CVD that increases with aging in women with PCOS. Indeed, the severity of IR in women with PCOS is associated with the amount of abdominal obesity, even in lean women with PCOS. Given these drastic implications, it is important to diagnose and treat insulin resistance as early as possible. Many markers have been proposed. However, quantitative assessment of IR in clinical practice remains a major challenge. The gold standard method for assessing insulin sensitivity is the hyperinsulinemic euglycemic glucose clamp. However, it is not used routinely because of the complexity of its procedure. Consequently, there has been an urgent need for surrogate markers of IR that are more applicable in large population-based epidemiological investigations. Despite this, many of them are either difficult to apply in routine clinical practice or useless for women with PCOS. Considering this difficulty, there is still a need for an accurate marker for easy, early detection and assessment of IR in women with PCOS. This review highlights markers of IR already used in women with PCOS, including new markers recently reported in literature, and it establishes a new classification for these markers.

Wrist circumference as a novel predictor of transition from metabolically healthy to unhealthy phenotype in overweight/obese adults: a gender-stratified 15.5-year follow-up. BMC Public Health 2021; 21:2276. [PMID: 34903195 PMCID: PMC8670068 DOI: 10.1186/s12889-021-12371-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2021] [Accepted: 12/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals with transition from metabolically healthy overweight/obese (MHO) to metabolically unhealthy overweight/obese (MUO) phenotype are significantly predisposed to greater risks of cardiovascular events compared to those with a persistent MHO phenotype. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive performance of wrist circumference for this transition in adults over a 15.5-year follow-up. METHODS We included 309 males and 821 females with the age of ≥18 years old, body mass index ≥25 kg/m2, and metabolically healthy status according to the criteria of the Joint Interim Statement. The incidence of MUO phenotype was evaluated for each gender, across tertiles wrist circumference, using Cox-proportional hazard models. RESULTS The overall rate of transition from MHO to MUO phenotype was 87.1% in males and 77.5% in females. The hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CI across second and third tertiles of wrist circumference were 0.89 (0.64-1.24) and 1.31 (0.99-1.73) in men (P for trend =0.027); and 1.34 (1.09-1.66) and 1.61 (1.30-2.00) in women (P for trend <0.001), respectively. After multivariable adjustment, HRs across second and third tertiles of wrist circumference were 0.92 (0.64-1.32) and 1.18 (0.83-1.67) in males (p for trend =0.352), and 1.32 (1.05-1.65) and 1.34 (1.06-1.96) in females (p for trend =0.025), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Wrist circumference significantly predicts the transition from MHO to MUO phenotype in adults of both genders. However, it is an independent predictor of the transition only in females. Future studies are warranted to clarify the role of wrist circumference mechanisms on metabolic risk deterioration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a reproductive problem of women with high prevalence cases accompanied by obesity conditions. Obesity condition can be seen from the size of waist circumference, hip circumference, arm span, and waist-to-hip ratio. This study aims to find out the risk factors between waist circumference size, hip circumference, arm span, and waist-to-hip ratio with polycystic ovarian syndrome. METHODS This research is an analytical observation using a case-control approach conducted at Sekar Fertility Clinic and Poly Obgyn Dr Moewardi General Hospital Surakarta. Subjects were 150 consisting of 75 polycystic ovarian syndrome women and 75 normal fertile women. Sampling techniques used in this study are purposive sampling, researchers doing anthropometric measurements in the form of waist circumference, hip circumference, arm span, and waist-to-hip ratio simultaneously. The results were analyzed using Statistic Product and Service Solution 25. RESULTS The results of the study obtained waist circumference with polycystic ovarian syndrome (b = 3.002; CI 95% = 3.41-123.5; p = 0.001), hip circumference (b = -2.671; CI 95% = 0.01-0.37; p = 0.002), arm span (b = 5.318; CI 95% = 32.23-129.58; p < 0.001) and waist-to-hip ratio (b = 1.761; CI 95% = 1.02-33.01; p = 0.047). CONCLUSION Waist circumference size, hip circumference, arm span, and waist-to-hip ratio correlate to a high risk of polycystic ovarian syndrome. Arm span is more dominant as an indicator of high risk to polycystic ovarian syndrome compared to waist circumference, hip circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio.

Abstract
Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) exhibit reduced muscle insulin-mediated glucose uptake, potentially attributed to altered muscle mass; however, this is inconclusive. Altered muscle mass may aggravate PCOS complications. Our systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated whether PCOS alters muscle mass and function. Databases (MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus) were searched through September 2, 2020, for studies documenting skeletal muscle mass (lean tissue mass) and function (strength) in PCOS and control groups. The primary outcome was total lean body mass (LBM) or fat-free mass (FFM). Data were pooled by random-effects models and expressed as mean differences and 95% confidence intervals. Forty-five studies (n = 3676 participants) were eligible. Women with PCOS had increased total (0.83 [0.08,1.58] kg; p = 0.03; I2 = 72.0%) yet comparable trunk (0.84 [-0.37,2.05] kg; p = 0.15; I2 = 73.0%) LBM or FFM versus controls. Results of meta-regression analyses showed no associations between mean differences between groups in total testosterone or homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance and total or trunk LBM or FFM (All: p ≥ 0.75). Mean differences in body mass index (BMI) were associated with total (0.65 [0.23,1.06] kg; p < 0.01; I2 = 56.9%) and trunk (0.56 [0.11,1.01] kg; p = 0.02; I2 = 42.8%) LBM or FFM. The PCOS subgroup with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 had greater total LBM or FFM versus controls (1.58 [0.82,2.34] kg; p < 0.01; I2 = 64.0%) unlike the PCOS subgroup with BMI < 25 kg/m2 (-0.45 [-1.94,1.05] kg; p = 0.53; I2 = 69.5%). Appendicular lean mass and muscle strength data were contradictory and described narratively, as meta-analyses were impossible. Women with PCOS have higher total and trunk lean tissue mass attributed to overweight/obesity, unlike hyperandrogenism or insulin resistance.

Abstract
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) in reproductive-aged women is identified to be one of the endocrine disorders. This heterogeneous disorder is categorized through oligo-anovulation and hyperandrogenemia. National institutes of health and Rotterdam criterions were used to diagnose PCOS women. Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is one of the complications in PCOS which is connected through insulin resistance (IR), which is a condition in which liver, muscles and fat infrequently respond to the hormones, and this leads to extreme IR and consequently leads to T2D disease. PCOS is inherited by the autosomal dominant mode of inheritance and may also with the different intricate patterns. Till now, many studies have been performed in PCOS with the genes identified by T2D and till now no studies have shown the similar genetic association and pathophysiology between both the diseases. So, the current review aims to investigate the genetic relation between PCOS and T2D and why both the diseases cannot be reverted. In this review, published data were screened with the T2D related genes and single nucleotide polymorphisms in PCOS women. The case-control, hospital-based and meta-analysis molecular studies disclosed both positive and negative connotations. Genetically, no relationship has been established between PCOS and T2D. Maximum studies have shown as PCOS women had developed T2D later in life because as a risk-factor, but none of the studies documented T2D women having developed PCOS as a risk factor. Apart from this, the disease PCOS is developed in women with reproductive age and T2D develops in both the men and women during adulthood. This review concludes as there is a genetic relation only in between PCOS and T2D, but not with T2D to PCOS and further it cannot be explicitly reverted from T2D to PCOS.
