Study Description

Brief Summary: To investigate the body fat distribution in chinese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and the association of those distribution with metabolic parameters, microeconomics, hormone profiles and psychological state.

Detailed Description: The polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine and metabolic disorders in women of reproductive age. It is also one of the leading causes of anovulatory infertility and secondary amenorrhea, which represent major stress factors in the female life. In the previous studies, the investigators found that PCOS patients showed decreased quality-of-life and increased psychological disturbances compared with healthy controls. Body mass index (BMI) was associated with emotional disorders and physical aspects of quality-of-life and negative emotions were negatively correlated with BMI in PCOS patients.These results prompted that PCOS could be separated into at least two subtypes by the fat content. So the investigators expand the epidemiological investigation for comparing the body composition between the PCOS and the normal women, and finding specific biological indicators in different subtypes.
