Baseline characteristics in PCOS OUH and risk of development of CVD

Hazard ratios are presented for crude models and models corrected for age and BMI

BP blood pressure, LDL low density lipoprotein, HDL high density lipoprotein, 2 h: 2 hours (during oral glucose tolerance test), HOMA-ir homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, SHBG: Sex hormone-binding globulin

aExcept age which is adjusted for BMI alone, and BMI which is adjusted for age alone
