Women with polycystic ovary syndrome have several hormonal and metabolicchanges in common, among which peripheral insulin resistance stands out, which manifests itselfmore frequently in those with overweight or obesity. The objective of this study was to evaluatethe nutritional status of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome and to correlate the most recentanthropometric indexes proposed with traditional ones. Methods: The research had a quantitative,transversal and analytical approach. The participants were 40 women, aged 20 to 59 years, fromthe city of Jaguaruana - Ceará. A questionnaire was applied in order to obtain information aboutcultural and socioeconomic history, clinical history, history of the current disease and revision ofthe body systems pertinent to the disease. The body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC),waist-hip ratio (WHR), body adiposity index (ABSI), body shape index and body shape index, whichis an indicator of premature mortality and excess abdominal adiposity and body roundness index(BRI), which is a great predictor of the percentage of body fat and visceral adipose tissue. Results:When assessing BMI, it was seen that eutrophy was the predominant category (40%). However, 55%of the participants had some degree of excess weight (pre-obesity or obesity). Most participantswere not at risk for cardiovascular disease in relation to the diagnoses of WC and WHR. As for thenew indices, it was inferred that the predominant body shape in the sample is slightly rounded.Conclusions: It was found that the participants within the largest ABSI tertiles were also shown tohave higher WHR values. As for the BRI, a directly proportional relationship was observed amongthe averages of its tertiles and those of the traditional indices/measures. The association betweentraditional and the most recently proposed anthropometric indices/measures allows for a betterand more complete interpretation of nutritional status, especially if performed in a serial manner
