Abstract: Objective To explore the characteristics of obesity and glycolipid metabolism in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). Methods Totally 338 PCOS patients (including 57 PCOS with DOR patients and 281 simple PCOS patients) and 70 healthy women (control group), who came to Department of Gynecological Endocrinology in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital between January 2015 and January 2017, were recruited. Age and menstruation of these patients were recorded. Body height, body weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, basel follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2), testosterone (T), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), low density and lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and baseline antral follicle count of these patients were measured. The indices between PCOS with DOR, simple PCOS and control group were compared, and the correlations between AMH and other indices in each group were analyzed. Results (1) The prevalence of central obesity (≥ 25 kg/m2) in simple PCOS, PCOS with DOR and control group was 38.1%, 40.4% and 22.9%, respectively. And the prevalence of abdominal obesity waist hip ratio (WHR) ≥ 0.85 in simple PCOS, PCOS with DOR and control group was 46.6%, 21.1% and 28.6%, respectively. The prevalence of central obesity in PCOS with DOR patients had no significant difference with simple PCOS patients and control group (P>0.05), but the prevalence of abdominal obesity was lower than simple PCOS patients (P<0.05). (2) The level of FPG, FINS and homeostasis model assessment (HOMA)-insulin resistivity (IR) in PCOS with DOR patients had no significant differences from simple PCOS patients(P>0.05), while the level of FPG and HOMA-IR was higher than control group (P<0.05). (3) The levels of TC, HDL-C and LDL-C in both simple PCOS and PCOS with DOR patients were higher than control group (P<0.05). The levels of TC, triglyceride (TG), HDL-C and LDL-C in PCOS with DOR patients had no significant difference with simple PCOS patients (P<0.05). (4) In simple PCOS patients, AMH had a negative correlation with FPG and HOMA-IR (P<0.05), while had a positive correlation with HDL-C (P<0.01). In PCOS with DOR patients, AMH had no correlation with obesity and glycolipid metabolic indices (P>0.05). In control group, AMH had a positive correlation with HDL-C (P<0.01). Conclusion The prevalence of abdominal obesity in PCOS with DOR patients is lower than simple PCOS patients. The characteristic of glycolipid metabolism in PCOS with DOR patients is similar to simple PCOS patients. But the correlation between AMH and glycolipid metabolic indices in PCOS with DOR patients is different from both simple PCOS patients and control group.
