All participants completed a questionnaire regarding their sociodemographic background and underwent anthropometric and basic biochemical measurements. Plasma levels of total testosterone, androstenedione, and 17-hydroxyprogesterone were measured with immunoassay. To assess the sexual functions, the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire was applied.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Apart from the higher physical activity in PCOS patients (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.017), we found no significant sociodemographic differences between the studied groups.

Their plasma levels of 17OHP (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.005) and insulin resistance index (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0248) were higher, while total testosterone (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0495) and glucose (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0061) was lower compared to the PCOS group.
