dc.description.abstractSammendrag: Vårt mål har vært å kartlegge forekomsten av metabolsk syndrom hos norske kvinner med PCOS og Sør- asiatiske invandrer kvinner bosatt i Norge. Studiet vårt bestod av totalt 256 kvinner med PCOS, av disse: 205 norske kvinner og 51 Indiske/pakistanske kvinner(IPW). Vi gjorde en retrospektiv identifisering av disse kvinnene i våre kliniske databaser med detaljerte registrering av hormon analyse i denne cohurt studie. Resultater: 27.8% av norske kvinner og 54% av IPW kvinner hadde MS, p=0.0000. det var ingen forskjell i alder, BMI, eller waist-hip ratio i de to gruppene. Den indiske gruppen viste signifikant høyere insulin nivåer i løpet av en to timers oral glukose toleranse test. Konklusion: MS og insulin resistens forekom signifikant oftere hos IPW kvinner enn hos norske. Denne høyere forekomsten kan ikke forklares via BMI eller waist-hip ratio, da vi fant ingen signifikant forskjell i disse parametrene i de to gruppene. Forskjellene i prevalansen kan muligens forklares av Yajniks ”thin fat Indian” teori som forklares av epigenetikk. Den høye prevalansen av MS blant IPW kvinner bosatt i norge indikerer at bosted har ingen effekt.nor
dc.description.abstractAbstract: Purpose: Our objective was to study the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in PCOS Norwegian women and South Asian immigrant women living in Norway. Methods: Our study included a total of 256 women with PCOS, 205 Caucasians (Norwegian women) and 51 Indian subcontinent women (IPW). These women were retrospectively identified in our clinical database with detailed records on hormone analysis in this cohort study. Results: 27.8% of Caucasians and 54.9% of IPW had MS, p=0.000. There was no difference in age, BMI, or waist-hip-ratio between the two groups. The IPW had significantly higher insulin levels during a 2 hour oral glucose tolerance test. Conclusion: MS and insulin resistance occurred significantly more often in IPW than in Caucasians. The higher occurrence cannot be explained by BMI or waist hip ratio as we did not find any significant differences in these parameters between the two groups. The difference in prevalence between the two groups may be explained by Yajniks “thin fat Indian” theory which is explained through epigenetic. The high prevalence of MS amongst IPW residing in Norway indicates that residence has no effect.eng
