AbstractOBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association of serum adiponectin level with the metabolic syndrome in Chinese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study carried out in Hong Kong Chinese women with PCOS at a university-affiliated tertiary hospital between January 2010 and January 2011. Clinical and biochemical parameters of the women were analysed. Prediction of the metabolic syndrome was determined by receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curves, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. RESULTS: A total of 116 women diagnosed to have PCOS were analysed. The area under the ROC curve of adiponectin for the prediction of metabolic syndrome was 0.820, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.737-0.886. Univariate binary logistic regression showed that testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), free androgen index (FAI), waist circumference, body mass index (BMI), quantitative insulin-sensitivity check index (QUICKI), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and adiponectin were significantly associated with the metabolic syndrome. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, adiponectin (p =  0.020), HOMA-IR, age (p =  0.011) and BMI (p =  0.019) were independently associated with the metabolic syndrome, but not FAI (p =  0.256). CONCLUSIONS: Serum adiponectin is independently associated with the metabolic syndrome in Chinese women with PCOS. Further longitudinal follow-up studies are needed to determine whether serum adiponectin adds to the prediction of long-term cardiometabolic morbidity conferred by age, BMI and measures of insulin resistance.
