Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how premature androgen exposure affects the likelihood of developing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in girls with premature pubarche (PP).
- Among the 99 girls analyzed, those with PP demonstrated a 64% rate of PCOS, along with higher body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, testosterone levels, and familial history of diabetes compared to those without PCOS.
- Key predictive factors for PCOS identified include waist circumference, insulin sensitivity, lipid profiles, and total testosterone, pointing to significant metabolic issues linked to the disorder.
