The prevalence of ovulation disorder (OD) is 3-fold higher in obese than normal-weight women. Most ODs are associated with concomitant polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but obesity by itself can cause OD, through mechanisms that remain poorly documented. The literature on obese non-PCOS women with OD is sparse. The aim of the present study was to analyze a population of obese non-PCOS women with OD to shed further light on the mechanism of ovulation disorder.
