Abstract
To assess the resting metabolic rate (RMR) and exercise capacity (or maximal oxygen consumption [VO2 max]) of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and central adiposity.In a cross-sectional study, RMR was measured by indirect calorimetry and VO2 max by the Astrand test for 31 women with PCOS and 29 controls matched for age and body mass index, but with a different body fat distribution. Differences between the means were analyzed.There were no significant differences in RMR or VO2 max values between the 2 groups.Central adiposity was not predictive of an altered RMR or of decreased exercise capacity in women with PCOS.Keywords
