Reply to comment by Thin_Insect_3005 in Large population study reaffirms link between PCOS and metabolic complications of pregnancy by CognitiveFunction34

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.

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.
