Serum 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D Levels in Turkish Adolescent Girls with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and the Correlation with Clinical/Biochemical Parameters

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinopathy among female adolescents and young women. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25[OH] D) levels and metabolic parameters and other characteristics of PCOS and non-PCOS adolescents. Ca...

Description
Summary:Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinopathy among female adolescents and young women. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25[OH] D) levels and metabolic parameters and other characteristics of PCOS and non-PCOS adolescents. Case-control study. We analyzed 31 girls with PCOS as defined using the Rotterdam criteria and 35 girls were non-PCOS control participants. The serum 25(OH) D level was measured. Anthropometric, clinical, endocrine, and metabolic components were determined in both groups. The group with PCOS showed no difference in the level of serum 25(OH) D (14.58 ± 6.15 vs 16.02 ± 7.87; P = .414). In addition to this, no significant correlations were found between serum 25(OH) D levels and endocrine or metabolic parameters in either PCOS patients or control participants. There was no difference in the level of serum 25(OH) D between PCOS patients and matched control participants. Vitamin D deficiency was common among the patients as well as in the control participants. Also, we did not find any relationship between serum 25(OH) D levels and clinical or metabolic profiles in the 2 groups.
