Most studies report that metabolic The syndrome is more common in women with PCOS and overweight or obesity compared with those in the control group, but this may be due to the presence of isolated abdominal obesity [25]. This fact is confirmed by the results of a study involving 1223 patients with PCOS, which found that metabolic syndrome is more common in women with PCOS (15.8%) than in the control group (10.1%) [25].
