Cardiovascular Risk in Women With Premature Ovarian Insufficiency Compared to Premenopausal Women at Middle Age

Abstract

Women with POI exhibited an unfavorable cardiovascular risk profile, including higher abdominal fat, elevated chronic inflammatory factors, and a trend toward increased hypertension and impaired kidney function compared to controls. However, we observed no signs of increased subclinical atherosclerosis in women with POI. Additional studies are required to identify specific determinants of long-term CVD risk in women with POI.
