5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Body Composition and Characterization of Skinfold Thicknesses from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Phenotypes: A Preliminary Case-Control Study
This preliminary case-control study investigated body composition and skinfold thickness differences between women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and those without, involving 266 women, 117 of whom were diagnosed with PCOS using the Rotterdam criteria. The study found that women with PCOS had a higher body mass index, fat mass percentage, and endomorphy component compared to controls. Each PCOS phenotype showed distinct somatochart representations, with the H-O-POM phenotype exhibiting significantly higher skinfold thicknesses and fat mass percentage than controls. These findings suggested that body composition differences in women with PCOS, particularly in the H-O-POM phenotype, could impact clinical evaluation and follow-up, highlighting the need for further research.
