- Data are shown as n (%). P-values were calculated using Chi-square test.
- *Insulin resistance frequencies did not differ significantly between the PCOS phenotypes (P = 0.271).
- **Metabolic syndrome frequencies did not differ significantly between phenotypes (P = 0.069).
- +Family history of T2DM frequencies did not differ significantly between phenotypes (P = 0.525).
- (Note: (i) Phenotype A (O + H + P), (ii) Phenotype B (O + H), (iii) Phenotype C (H + P) and (iv) Phenotype D (O + P). IFG: impaired fasting glucose, IGT: impaired glucose tolerance.
