Menopausal Transition, Body Mass Index, and Prevalence of Mammographic Dense Breasts in Middle-Aged Women
Gynecology | BMI, PBF | Kim et al. | 2020 | Korea | J. Clin. Med
The interrelationship between menopausal stage, excessive adiposity and dense breasts remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the relationship between menopausal stage and dense-breast prevalence in midlife women while considering a possible effect modification of being overweight. The present cross-sectional study comprised 82,677 Korean women, aged 35–65 years, who attended a screening exam. Menopausal stages were categorized based on the Stages of Reproductive Aging Workshop (STRAW+ 10) criteria …
Altered cardiorespiratory response to exercise in overweight and obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Gynecology | FFM, PBF, WHR | Rissanen AP et al. | 2016 | Finland | Physiological Reports
In polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), cardiovascular risk is increased. Peak O2 uptake () predicts the cardiovascular risk. We were the first to examine the contribution of systemic O2 delivery and arteriovenous O2 difference to in overweight and obese women with PCOS …
Triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio can predict impaired glucose tolerance in young women with polycyst
Gynecology | BFM, PBF | Song do K et al. | 2016 | Korea | Yonsei Medical Journal
Purpose The triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio could be related to insulin resistance (IR). We previously reported that Korean women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) had a high prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). We aimed to determine the cutoff value of the TG/HDL-C ratio for predicting IR and to examine whether the TG/HDL-C ratio is useful for identifying individuals at risk of IGT in young Korean women with PCOS. Materials and Methods We recruited 450 women with PCOS (24±5 yrs) …
Vascular endothelial dysfunction tested by blunted response to endothelium-dependent vasodilation by salbutamol and its related
Gynecology | PBF | H-S Suh | 2005 | Korea | International Journal of Obesity
BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial dysfunction (VED) plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and is associated with insulin resistance and visceral obesity. We examined the predicting factors of VED in uncomplicated premenopausal obese women using analysis of endothelium-dependent vasodilation by radial artery pulse wave obtained through applanation tonometry. METHODS: The subjects included a group of 33 obese women body mass index ((BMI)≥ 25) and another age-matched control group of 25 …
Prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome in Chinese obese women of reproductive age with or without metabolic syndrome
Gynecology | PBF | Liang P et al. | 2017 | China | Fertility and Sterility
Objective To compare the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and related clinical characteristics between metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO) and metabolically healthy obese (MHO) women of reproductive age. Design Cross-sectional clinical study. Setting Tertiary hospital. Patient (s) We studied 299 MUO and 122 MHO Chinese women matched on body mass index. Metabolically healthy obese was defined as obesity with no more than one metabolic abnormality. Diagnosis of PCOS was based on the revised …
