The prevalence of MetS in Chinese postmenopausal women is 33.7%. Body composition indices (WC > or = 80.75 cm, BF > or = 36.695%, sagittal abdominal diameter > or = 18.35 cm, or BMI > or = 24.835 kg/m) were discovered to predict MetS.
AMH is a useful parameter to assess in the different phenotypes the severity of PCOS, and to compare with healthy women, for the first time demonstrated in Chinese patients. In contrast, the parameters for IR and their relation to AMH did not show clear differences comparing the four phenotypes, and need further investigation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
