Women in PCOS OUH who developed CVD were significantly older, more obese (higher BMI and waist circumference), had higher BP (systolic and diastolic), a more adverse lipid profile (LDL, cholesterol, and triglycerides), higher glucose and insulin levels (HbA1c, fasting insulin and glucose, and HOMA-ir), and lower prolactin levels at baseline compared to women in PCOS OUH and no development of CVD, whereas testosterone levels (free and total) and SHBG were comparable in the two groups. Here, SHBG is linked to polycystic ovary syndrome.
