Table 2.
Prevalence of glucose intolerance in 250 Thai women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
| Glucose intolerance† | Prevalence | |
|---|---|---|
| n | % (95% CI) | |
| Overall | 50 | 20.0 (15.04–24.96) |
| Impaired fasting glucose (IFG)‡ | 8 | 3.2 (1.02–5.38) |
| Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) | 34 | 13.6 (9.35–17.85) |
| Diabetes mellitus (DM) | 14 | 5.6 (2.75–8.45) |
†Glucose intolerance: impaired fasting glucose (fasting plasma glucose ≥100 and <126 mg/dL), impaired glucose tolerance test (2 hr glucose ≥140 and <200 mg/dL) or the presence of diabetes mellitus (fasting plasma glucose ≥126 mg/dL and/or 2 hr glucose ≥200 mg/dL).
‡4 women had combined IFG and IGT and 2 women had combined IFG and 2 hr glucose ≥200 mg/dL.
