Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy in women and is increasingly understood to present with numerous comorbidities. The present study was conducted to assess relation of socioeconomic status with polycystic ovary syndrome. Materials & Methods: 48 patients of polycystic ovary syndrome were selected and serum progesterone was measured on days 21 to 24 of a spontaneous or induced menstrual cycle. Serum progesterone, SHBG, and insulin were measured by commercial radioimmunoassay methods. Insulin resistance was calculated by the Quantitative Insulin-Sensitivity Check Index (QUICKI).
