Peningkatan risiko mengidap penyakit kencing manis untuk wanita PCOS
It
has been known for some time that a woman with PCOS has an increased risk of
getting Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been known for some time. Adding to this
knowledge is a new study from Cardiff that examined a very large number of
patients (more than 20000) to confirm this point. The data taken from the UK's
General Practice Research Database showed a 2-3-fold increase of DM among PCOS
women when compared with controls.
Telah
lama diketahui bahawa seseorang wanita yang mengalami PCOS berisiko lebih
tinggi mengidap penyakit kencing manis (DM). Kini, kenyataan ini menjadi lebih
kukuh berdasarkan satu kajian dari Cardiff, United Kingdom yang melibatkan
lebih dari 20 000 orang wanita. Maklumat daripada kajian ini mendapati wanita
PCOS berkemungkinan mengidapi DM 2-3 kali ganda lebih berbanding dengan wanita
tanpa PCOS.
