Seventh-three women, with body mass index of 30.4 \u00b1 7.8 kg\/m\u00b2 and 25.0 \u00b1 6.0 years old, subdivided according to body mass index, were studied retrospectively. There was no significant mean age difference among body mass index groups (p = 0.228). Prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 38.4%, with a null prevalence for normal (n = 18), 23.8% for overweight (n = 17), 62.9% for obese (n = 28), and 85.5% for morbidly obese women (n = 7). Women with metabolic syndrome were older than women without metabolic syndrome (27.3 \u00b1 5.3 vs. 24.2 \u00b1 4.6 vs. years old; p = 0.031) and presented a higher body mass index (36.3 \u00b1 7.7 vs. 26.9 \u00b1 5.4; p &lt; 0.001). There was no difference for degree of hirsutism and menstrual patterns between women with and without metabolic syndrome (p = 0.593 and p = 0.119, respectively). Regarding laboratory parameters, DHEAS was lower (1,646 \u00b1 1,007 vs. 2,594 \u00b1 1,563; p = 0.007) and HOMA-IR were higher (9.9 \u00b1 9.7 vs. 4.6 \u00b1 4.7; p = 0.004) in women with metabolic syndrome (p = 0.031 and p &lt; 0.001, respectively). The best predictors of metabolic syndrome were waist circumference &gt; 88 cm, HDL-cholesterol &lt; 50 mg\/dL and triglycerides &gt; 150 mg\/dL.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s0004-27302007000600012","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,11,16]],"date-time":"2007-11-16T03:18:40Z","timestamp":1195183120000},"page":"972-979","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Metabolic
