Women with pcos are more inclined to be overweight. Excess weight in itself causes the same problems. They should make the follow up study about outcome of pregnancy in obese women with pcos and without pcos.

But the association was stronger in women with a lower BMI

Bmi of lower than 30kg/m2. This can mean whatever I want to believe. The thing with pollicystic ovarian syndrome is that you have to be obese to have pcos. The other part of the spectrum are the women who have a bmi of <20kg/m2 and pollicystic ovaries without insulin resistance. 165 cm, 50kg is a Bmi of 18,4 165 cm, 80kg is a Bmi of 29,4 I would say that second woman would have a greater chance of having insulin resistance than the first.

Still, the trend should be the other way around, how can pcos women with bmi>30 have less insulin resistance than bmi<30 ? Everybody agrees about the common sense parts you mention, of course a fat person would have more metabolic disorders. But the hormonal mechanisms behind gestational diabetes are yet to be clarified and do not only depend on the usual T2 diabetes stuff.

Weight was not specify, that was my problem.

The interest of BMI is it's more informative than weight

Weight or bmi dosent matter when a woman is overweight or obese. Excess adipos cells elevate inflamatory markers in the body. Is it worse with a person who has pcos or not? If it is worse with pco than follow up study should be about weight and pco.

Uh. Sounds like high risk women who are pregnant are more likely to end up getting more point of care ultrasound studies... No way #rolls eyes#

Yeah. In more than half the states now republicans would prefer them to die.

>The risks of such pregnancy complications were found sufficiently high for the authors to advise that ‘obstetricians should be aware of patients’ PCOS status and closely monitor for potential pregnancy complications to improve maternal and infant perinatal health outcomes’. Adjusted relative risks for gestational diabetes were 1.51 (1.38-1.65), for pregnancy induced hypertension 1.25 (1.15-1.35) and Cesarean section 1.07 (1.02-1.11). The association between PCOS and gestational diabetes was strongest in women with a pre-pregnancy BMI of <30 kg/m2. The authors’ warning echoes that of the 2018 international guidelines on PCOS, which similarly recommended increased monitoring for women with PCOS during pregnancy.(2)
