PURPOSE: Women with polycystic ovary syndrome are hyperandrogenemic and insulin resistant, which are associated with alterations in circulating lipid and lipoprotein levels. We sought to determine the prevalence of, and risk factors for, lipid abnormalities in these women.SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Non-Hispanic white women with polycystic ovary syndrome (n = 195) and ethnically matched control women (n = 62) had fasting blood obtained for hormone and lipid levels. Subjects were categorized by body mass index (nonobese < 27 kg/m(2), obese ≥27 kg/m(2)), and analyses were adjusted for age.RESULTS: Total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels increased significantly in obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (n = 153) compared with obese control women (n = 35; mean difference in total cholesterol level = 29 mg/dL; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 14 to 45 mg/dL; P
