Clinical Study

The Usefulness of Homeostatic Measurement Assessment-Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) for Detection of Glucose Intolerance in Thai Women of Reproductive Age with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Table 2

Prevalence of glucose intolerance in 250 Thai women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Glucose intolerance Prevalence
% (95% CI)

Overall5020.0 (15.04–24.96)
 Impaired fasting glucose (IFG)83.2 (1.02–5.38)
 Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT)3413.6 (9.35–17.85)
 Diabetes mellitus (DM)145.6 (2.75–8.45)

Glucose intolerance: impaired fasting glucose (fasting plasma glucose ≥100 and <126 mg/dL), impaired glucose tolerance test (2 hr glucose ≥140 and <200 mg/dL) or the presence of diabetes mellitus (fasting plasma glucose ≥126 mg/dL and/or 2 hr glucose ≥200 mg/dL).
4 women had combined IFG and IGT and 2 women had combined IFG and 2 hr glucose ≥200 mg/dL.
