Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex medical condition characterized by elevated androgen levels, menstrual irregularities, and small cysts on one or both ovaries. The prevalence of PCOS is 6 to 10% in women. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase protein produced by the hepatic cells and it’s levels increased in inflammation that increases interleukin-6 by macrophages and T cells. Aims and Objective: A correlative study of role and usefulness of CRP in women with PCOS and its correlation with different biochemical parameters. Materials and Methods: This was hospital based case-control study carried out among PCOS was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Index Medical College Hospital, Indore. This study was conducted from 1st January 2018 to 31st December 2019. A total of 260 subjects with age group between 15 to 45 years were divided into two group; cases (130) and controls (130). Results: Among a total of 260 cases, based on clinical and different biochemical parameters, 130 were diagnosis with PCOS and 130 were apparently healthy women. The mean ±SD of various parameters among PCOS cases were; body mass index (BMI) 32.97±8.466, P (<0.001) total cholesterol (TC) 188.42±31.126, P (<0.001), triglyceride (TG) 134.43±50.01, P (<0.001), high density lipoprotein (HDL) 36.29±9.55 TC/HDL ratio, 5.54±1.865 serum CRP, 3.41±0.94 versus BMI 22.87±2.470, P (<0.001), TC155.42±26.333, TG 110.00±42.19, HDL 41.22±10.912, TC/HDL ratio 4.08±1.39, serum CRP 2.25±0.83 P (<0.001) in healthy control. Conclusion: In this study, the role of inflammation and different biochemical markers were studied among PCOS. It was found that a majority of PCOS patients were obese, having insulin resistance. The levels of CRP as a marker of chronic low grade inflammation were higher in newly diagnosed PCOS as compared to the controls. The CRP values correlated well (statistically significant) with increased in BMI and age.

“…The study showed that one’s spiritual relationship with God is the indirectly critical factor for quality of marriage and seems to manifest itself between married couples in religious communication, which was directly associated with marital quality [31]. According to Reference [32], there are three fundamental perspectives on marriage: marriage as a ceremony, marriage as a concordat and marriage as an agreement. The perception of marriage as a ceremony derives from the Islamic custom.…”

The sociology of religion focuses on an individual’s social and married life. This research performed the first focalized examination of the influence of spirituality and religiosity on the marital satisfaction of Pakistani Muslim couples and how religious commitment and religious practice strengthens the relationship of married couples. This study incorporates the Kansas Marital Satisfaction scale (KMSS), the Religious Commitment Inventory (RCI-10) and the Religious Practice scale to measure marital satisfaction. Survey questionnaires, including a survey invitation letter and an informed consent form, were sent to married couples residing in five urban areas of Pakistan. The sample consisted of 508 valid responses, 254 males and 254 females, exploring the respondent’s perception of their marital satisfaction. The data received were screened and tested through SPSS version 25. The first step of the data analysis was to examine the impact of religiosity variables (religious commitment, religious practice) on marital satisfaction. Findings indicated that religious commitment and religious practice are vital for a happy married life. The findings help explain the social dynamics of marital satisfaction in Pakistani culture. The results also indicated that religious commitment and religious practice strengthened and promoted marital satisfaction. This study is novel in the context of Pakistani culture and conclusions cannot be generalized to the whole population. Other religious factors may provide further research directions. The results of this study may help practitioners and decision-makers focusing on marital satisfaction issues.
