Visceral Adiposity Index and Lipid Accumulation Product as diagnostic markers of Metabolic Syndrome in South Indians with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the debilitating consequences of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Early diagnosis of metabolic syndrome (MetS) with a simple but accurate method can reduce the risk of progression to CVD in PCOS.

Aims: This study aimed to determine the accuracy of various anthropometric indices and lipid accumulation product (LAP), in assessing the risk of MetS in PCOS.
