Summary

The abnormalities that characterize the Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) confer an increased risk of cardiovascular and other diseases. Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), the commonest endocrine disease among women of childbearing age, have an increased risk of developing MetS.

2\) The prevalence of MetS in PCOS patients varies among different ethnic groups. Malaysia is a unique country with a multiethnic population. The 3 largest ethnic groups are the Malays, Chinese and Indians. Previous studies in India and China have been able to determine the incidence of PCOS amongst those ethnic groups, but as yet, there is no published data on the prevalence of this disorder amongst women of Malay ethnicity. In this study, I intend to discover the prevalence of MetS amongst Malay women with established PCOS.
