Abstract. Abnormal distribution of fat, especially visceral adipose tissue (VAT), and insulin resistance are key features of PCOS [34]. It remains a question whether lean women with PCOS have a similar pattern of metabolic disturbances and fat distribution as overweight and obese women with PCOS. This study aimed to investigate body composition, metabolic characteristics, and insulin resistance in lean women with PCOS.

Keywords: fat, visceral adipose tissue, insulin resistance, PCOS.
