Results: Results Significant differences were detected at P<0.001 in TC and LDL-C, P<0.01 for AI and non-significant P>0.05 were detected in TG, HDL-C. In conclusion:Hyperlipidemia could occur in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, especially those who are obese which is arisk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease.
