Table 3.

Body mass index variation in adult Turner Syndrome patients stratified by the types of progestin used in the hormone replacement therapy.

Progestin N Ageyo. Timeyr. SPCD Initial BMIKg/m2 After BMIKg/m2
MPA 12 22.6 ± 3.6* 5.5 ± 2.0* 6.0*(1.0 to 11.9) 22.9 ± 4.1* 25.5 ± 5.9
LGN 14 25.0 ± 6.1 3.4 ± 1.9 2,8(1.3 to 7.5) 24.5 ± 4.4** 24.9 ± 4.3
MP 11 29.3 ± 5.4 1.8 ± 0.7 1,6(1.1 to 4.3) 28.7 ± 4.0 29.7 ± 4.2
Total 37 25.5 ± 5.8 3.6 ± 2.5 2.6(1.0 to 11.9) 25.3 ± 4.7 26.5 ± 5.2

Data expressed as mean ± SD for parametric and as median – minimum/maximum for nonparametric data distribution by different types of progestins during the long-retrospective assessment. This subgroup comprises 37/73 TS adult patients enrolled in Phase 2.3.

MPA medroxyprogesterone, LNG levonorgestrel. MP micronized progesterone; SPCD standard progestin cumulative dose; BMI body mass index. Differences in mean values among the groups are greater than would be expected by chance (p < 0,05); *MPA vs MP, **LNG vs MP.
