Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Pivotal Influence of Obesity on Body Composition and Ovarian Doppler in Different Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Phenotypes

Study Description

Brief Summary: The study aimed to explore the impact of obesity on both body composition and ovarian Doppler parameters across various phenotypes of females diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Additionally, the investigation seeked to establish correlations between these parameters and their prevalence concerning the clinical criteria of PCOS.

Detailed Description: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a complex and multifactorial condition characterized by endocrinological, reproductive, metabolic, and biochemical abnormalities, affecting 12% to 21% of reproductive-aged females. It has emerged as a significant global public health concern. However, variations in diagnostic criteria and patient selection have led to considerable discrepancies in the absolute prevalence of PCOS and its temporal trends. Previous studies have examined ovarian volume and blood flow indices in both obese and non-obese females with PCOS, albeit employing different criteria for obesity classification. Notably, none have compared these parameters across normal weight, overweight, and obese PCOS females. Therefore, the current study aims to explore the impact of obesity on body composition and ovarian Doppler parameters within distinct PCOS phenotypes. An additional objective is to assess correlations between anthropometric, body composition, and ovarian Doppler parameters and the prevalence of PCOS symptoms.
