Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and its clinical interrelations in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).METHODS: This was a cross-sectional, prospective study with 100 patients with diagnosed PCOS based on the consensus of Rotterdam (2003). We investigated the interrelationships of MS, with intrinsic PCOS data. Dermatological profile was analyzed, in addition to acanthosis nigricans (AN) in the presence of hirsutism and acne. The use of HOMA-IR (homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance) aimed at the correlation with MS in order to establish the metabolic dysfunction with the state of insulin resistance.RESULTS: The mean and standard deviations corresponding figures for age, body mass index and waist circumference were, respectively, 25.72 (± 4.87), 30.63 (± 9.31) and 92.09 (± 18.73). The prevalence of MS was 36% and significantly correlated with BMI, AN, and in 51% of patients the state of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Regarding skin profile, only AN significant correlation with MS.CONCLUSION: We propose the routine inspection of metabolic components related to severe PCOS. These parameters configure the cardiovascular risk and such conduct is of undoubted importance to public health.OBJETIVO: estabelecer a prevalência da síndrome metabólica (SM) e as respectivas inter-relações clínicas no contexto da síndrome dos ovários policísticos (SOP).MÉTODO: estudo transversal, prospectivo, em 100 pacientes portadoras de SOP diagnosticada com base no consenso de Rotterdam (2003). Investigam-se, principalmente, as interrelações da SM, com os dados intrínsecos à SOP. O perfil dermatológico analisado consiste, além da acantose nigricante (AN), na presença de hirsutismo e da acne. O emprego do HOMA-IR (homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance - modelo matemático de aferição da resistência insulínica) objetivou a correlação com a SM a fim de legitimar a disfunção metabólica com o estado de RI.RESULTADOS: Os valores médios e respectivos desvios-padrões relativos à idade, ao índice de massa corporal e a circunferência abdominal foram respectivamente 25,72 (±4,87), 30,63 (±9,31) e 92,09 (±18,73). A prevalência da SM, 36%, mostrou correlação significativa com o IMC, prevalecido pela constituição do sobrepeso e obesidade, a AN e, em 51% das pacientes, o estado de resistência à insulina (HOMA-IR). No que concerne ao perfil dérmico, apenas a AN evidenciou correlação significativa com a SM.CONCLUSÃO: propõe-se a inspeção rotineira dos componentes metabólicos relacionados ao quadro grave da SOP. Tais parâmetros configuram o risco cardiovascular e tal conduta se constitui de indubitável importância no que tange à saúde pública.
