ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the prevalence of hypertension in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Study design: Women with PCOS (n=3396) and controls (n=1891) from a Han
ip t
Chinese population were analysed retrospectively in terms of ovarian appearance on ultrasound, glucose tolerance test, hormones, lipoproteins, anthropomorphic
cr
measurements and blood pressure.

Results: The prevalence of hypertension was 19.2% in the women with PCOS, which was much higher than that in the controls (11.9%). After matching for body mass
an
index, the hypertensive PCOS group had higher glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR and lipid levels than the normotensive PCOS group; these differences were significant (p

at the Clinical Research Centre after a 12-h fast. A 240-min oral glucose tolerance test was performed with blood samples drawn for testing insulin and glucose levels at 0 and 120 min. Blood samples were drawn for testing all other parameters (i.e. lipid and hormone levels) at baseline (on day 2–3 of a spontaneous menstrual cycle or
