Abstract

Background: Idiopathic hirsutism (IH) is a condition diagnosed after other hirsutisnn related is ruled out. Its definition diagnosis had a dynamic process along with improving the understanding of the various androgen excess disorders. There is uncertainty regarding its health impact and its long-term metabolic consequences. We aimed to compare metabolic syndrome (Mets) and insulin resistance (IR) of Iranian women with IH and a group of healthy controls in a large community-based study. Methods: Anthropometric measurements, biochemical parameters, Mets (using Joint Interim Statement criteria) and IR (estimated by the homeostasis model assessment), were compared between 101 women with IH and 423 healthy controls recruited from among 1126 reproductive aged women. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the BMI of women with IN in comparison to normal control (27.7 versus 26.7 kg/m(2), p = 0.02); however, the prevalence of android adiposity was similar (26.7 and 24.3, respectively). The age and BMI adjusted prevalence of Mets and IR are similar in women with IH and controls (30 versus 23.9 and 25.7 versus 22.5, respectively). Conclusion: There will be no need for additional cardiometabolic evaluations for women with IH, later in life.
