Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels in women diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in Saudi Arabia and to compare obesity levels. In this case-control study, 101 PCOS women and 54 control subjects were enrolled in King Khalid University Hospital. Based on Rotterdam criteria, PCOS women were enrolled. Anthropometric measurements were collected between PCOS and control women. ANOVA analysis was performed in PCOS women to measure the PCOS variables. The study results demonstrate that LH levels are significantly associated with PCOS women (p=0.06). ANOVA analysis indicated that age (p=0.001) and LH (p=0.05) were significantly related among the age groups. The weight, height, and BMI were significantly associated in PCOS women among PCOS subjects with obesity (p<0.05). This study concludes as LH and FSH levels were high in PCOS women with different forms of obesity and LH is correlated (p=0.06) between PCOS and control women. Additionally, elevated BMI levels were not associated with LH and FSH levels.
