Objectives To evaluate the body composition and anthropometric profile of infertile women who have been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and to investigate the incidence of PCOS and to examine body fat composition as a risk factor for this disease. Methods This hospital-based case controlled study was conducted on a cohort of 132 patients with and without PCOS. Bioelectrical impedance analysis was used to record body composition parameters, such as total body fat, visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, skeletal muscle composition and their distribution in the trunk, legs and arms, as well as blood pressure. Anthropometric profile parameters, including body mass index (BMI), ideal body weight (IBW), waist circumference, hip circumference and waist-to-hip ratio, were also recorded. Results The mean age of incidence of PCOS was 29.74 ± 3.32 years (OR 1.417), and most of the cohort exhibited high to very high visceral fat with significant correlation (p < 0.001). Total body fat distribution and whole, trunk, arm and leg subcutaneous fat were significantly higher in patients with PCOS (p < 0.001). The mean BMI, waist and hip circumference of the PCOS group were 28.2 ± 6.08, 97.44 ± 15.11 cm and 109.22 ± 17.39 cm, respectively. The results also indicated significant increases in DP and MAP (OR 1.528) in patients with PCOS compared to the control group (p < 0.001). Conclusion This study exhibits higher levels of BMI, body fat distribution, waist and hip circumference, diastolic and mean blood pressure, visceral fat, and a disproportionate increase in the level of global fat and its distribution.

Background: Most of the problems in female reproductive system are due to dysfunction in hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. Our study is evaluating thyroid profile in the presence and absence of autoantibodies and how it effect the fertility of Omani women, through serum thyroid evaluation, estimation of prolactin level, autoantibodies and women fertility characteristics. Materials and Methods: This is a clinical cross sectional study, involves systemic random sampling of 182 patients women aged between 19-45 years visiting the study centre from September 2017 to May 2018. Study conducted according to the guidelines and ethics of the selected fertility center. Accordingly the identity and their related information is not disclosed. Data was collected retrospectively by looking at the patient profile, lab results and analyzing their blood samples by using ELISA kit to estimate Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Free Triiodothyronine (FT3), Free Thyroxine (FT4), Thyroperoxidase (TPO), Vitamin D and prolactin. The project was funded from Oman medical college. Results: The risk of female infertility is high in hyperthyroidism compared to hypothyroidism. There is no correlation between TPO, FT3 and type of menstrual cycle with fertility. There is a high significant relation between FT4 and TSH with fertility. Our results indicated that the risk of infertility was more in patient
