Relationship of Body Mass Index and Dietary Inflammatory Index With Free Androgen Index and Insulin Resistance in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Adiposity (measured by BMI)-not dietary inflammation-was independently associated with key PCOS manifestations, demonstrating significant positive relationships with hyperandrogenism markers (FAI, testosterone), insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and clinical hirsutism. A normal BMI was correlated with clinically meaningful reductions in metabolic-androgen parameters compared to obesity. Thus, weight loss and a generally healthy diet may need to be combined to impact PCOS features significantly.
