And the subdomain sexual function scores and the mean FSFI total scores between women with PCOS stratified by BMI.

The mean BMI in two case and control group was 24.88 ± 2.23 and 24.77 ± 2.01. The difference between the groups with all FSFI subdomains, the only difference between the two groups in lubrication was significant (3.08 vs. 3.60, p-value=0.029).
