Description
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the disorders that often attacks women that cause difficulty
obtaining pregnancy. PCOS causes 5-10% of women of reproductive age to become infertile. In Indonesia
itself, the exact incidence of PCOS is unknown. Most people with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) do
not know that they have the syndrome. This cannot be separated from precipitating factors, one of which is
obesity or high body mass index. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to estimate the strength of the effect
of obesity on the incidence of PCOS. This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis. Primary data is
retrieved through the electronic databases PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, Springer Link and
Cochrane Database. By using the search keywords "obesity AND risk factor AND PCOS", "body mass
index" AND "polycystic ovary syndrome". Articles taken between 2013-2023. Statistical analysis was
performed using the RevMan 5.3 application. 6 articles qualified quantitatively for analysis. Increased body
mass index or obesity, especially the abdomen, will increase the risk of PCOS 1.99-fold compared to women
who have a normal body mass index and are statistically significant (OR 1.99; 95% CI: 1.79 – 2.20; p value
< 0.001). Body mass index or obesity, especially the abdomen, will increase the risk of PCOS 1.99 times
compared to women who have a normal body mass index.
