Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are rising health issues. Evidence highlighted the potential for an increased risk of PCOS among females with DM across various locations and ethnicities. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of PCOS among Iranian females with and without DM. Materials and Method: In this population-based cross-sectional study, eligible females were selected from participants of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS). For this study, females with complete data were selected from Phase VI (2016–2018) of TLGS. The logistic regression model was used. Results: At first, 4435 women with definite information about PCOS status were included, women with unclear diagnoses of DM and PCOS were excluded, and finally, 2867 were included in the study. Then, they were divided into two categories, Under 40 years and over 40 years. Among females without DM aged <40 years, 28.3%, and among those with DM aged <40 years, 53.7% had PCOS. Among participants with DM, PCOS patients were younger and had better fasting blood glucose levels. Using logistic regression for PCOS risk from a logistic regression model in participants, it was found that among patients with and without DM, increasing age decreased the odds of PCOS by 85% and 42%, respectively. On the contrary, among participants without DM, a family history of DM increased the risk of PCOS (odds ratio [OR] = 1.22, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.006 to 1.49, p=0.04). Conclusion: The prevalence of PCOS was not significantly different between subjects with and without DM in our population. |
