#346 : A 5-Year Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study on theAssociation of Obesity with Myoma Uteri, Endometrial Polyps, Adenomyosis and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Background and Aims: To assess the association of obesity with myoma uteri, endometrial polyp, adenomyosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) Method: A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed on a cohort of 586 women consulting at the outpatient department of a tertiary government institution from 2016 to 2020. Age-adjusted logistic regression models were used to assess the association of obesity with the diseases. Results: No significant association between obesity and myoma uteri (p:0.91), endometrial polyp (p:0.49) and adenomyosis (p:0.56) were observed. A direct association between obesity and PCOS (p<0.01) was observed wherein obese women were five times more likely to have PCOS than non-obese women, regardless of age. Conclusion: There is no association between obesity and myoma uteri, endometrial polyp and adenomyosis in obese Filipino women. Age seems to have a more direct association in the presence of these diseases. There is a direct association of obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome.
