Abstract
BACKGROUND
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a disorder characterized by menstrual irregularity andhyperandrogenism.
MATERIAL
In this article, we aim to review the clinical features of PCOS and the co-morbidities that often accompany the condition.
FINDINGS
Insulin resistance and obesity have an influence on disease pathogenesis, and many adolescents with PCOS have metabolic comorbidities (type 2 diabetes, liver disease, cardiovascular disease).
CONCLUSION
Early identification and treatment of adolescent females with PCOS can improve metabolic health, mental health, and fertility outcomes, with an emphasis on the importance of lifestyle modifications, pharmacologic use when indicated, and multidisciplinary care.
期刊介绍:
Because the scope of clinical lipidology is broad, the topics addressed by the Journal are equally diverse. Typical articles explore lipidology as it is practiced in the treatment setting, recent developments in pharmacological research, reports of treatment and trials, case studies, the impact of lifestyle modification, and similar academic material of interest to the practitioner.
Sections of Journal of clinical lipidology will address pioneering studies and the clinicians who conduct them, case studies, ethical standards and conduct, professional guidance such as ATP and NCEP, editorial commentary, letters from readers, National Lipid Association (NLA) news and upcoming event information, as well as abstracts from the NLA annual scientific sessions and the scientific forums held by its chapters, when appropriate.
