Description
Background: The incidence of childhood obesity is rapidly rising, which is the main cause of increased insulin resistance, the metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, and polycystic ovarian syndrome. India presently has the greatest number of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients worldwide. The prevalence of PCOD is unknown in the public, though. Objective: To estimate the prevalence of PCOD among students in Tertiary care teaching hospital. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among students of aged 16-24 years in a teaching hospital in BMC, Sagar (M.P.). Sample size of 256 students were randomly selected from various batches of medical and paramedical courses. Occurrence of hyper androgenic features and menstrual irregularities were evaluated, and they were physically examined. The diagnosis of PCOS was made based on Rotterdam’s criteria. Epi-info 7 was used for analysis. Results: Seventy-five students (30%) met the criteria to be diagnosed as polycystic ovarian syndrome. Twenty students (10%) had a history of thyroid dysfunction. The other clinical features of hyperandrogenism were like acne (25%), oily skin (13.5%), increased hair growth (7%), male pattern thinning of hair (9.75%). Conclusion: PCOD can be assumed of as a forerunner syndrome that, if screened for, can help in early identification of risk of highly morbid conditions, in adolescent girls.
