Aims: The objective of this study was to determine the risk factors for polycystic ovarian syndrome among Baghdad women.
Material & Methods: The current case-control study was performed on 100 PCOS women and 100 controls without PCOS in Baghdad hospitals from 1 Sep 2019 to 15 Dec 2019. Data were collected by face-to-face interviews and a questionnaire including socio-demographic characteristics, menstrual history, BMI, waist circumference, physical activity, family history of PCOS, diet, drug use, and clinical symptoms of PCOS. Among other methods, the data were analyzed using SPSS 22, the Chi-square test, and logistic regression analysis.
Findings: Some of the significant factors of PCOS included age (P=0.02), occupational status (p=0.004), educational level (p=0.003), BMI (p=0.003), waist circumference (p=0.004), family history of PCOS (p=0.000), diet (p=0.001), regular menstrual cycle (p=0.00) and Clomid use (p=0.00). other risk factors were regular physical exercise (p=0.16) and having children (p=0.55) which were not significant.
Conclusion: Target the risk factors of age, educational level, occupational status, BMI, waist circumference, family history, diet, regular menstrual cycle, and Clomid used, we should perform early screening, the diagnosis and treatment of POCS and identify its risk factors for decreasing PCOS incidence and improve its prognosis.
