COMPARISON BETWEEN WAIST AND HIP RATIO LEVELS IN HEALTHY WOMEN AND PATIENTS WITH POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME
Abstract
In analyzing the results we found that the largest number of patients in the control group had waist and hip ratio (WHR) values in the range of 0.75-0.8 or 40.09% of all. Second in the same group are women with a WHR of 0.8-0.85 (29.70%) who can be identified as high-risk according to the current World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. Third are women with WHR above 0.9 (10.89%).
Analyzing the results in women with Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), we found that the highest number of them had values of the studied indicator between 0.85-0.9 or a total of 40.39% of all, who can be defined as high risk according to WHO. The second largest group is that of women with WHR above 0.8-0.85 (30.04%). Third is the group of women with WHR values above 0.9 (18.22%) who are considered to be at the highest risk of developing cardiovascular and metabolic complications.Keywords
