		                        			Introduction:
		                        			Among women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), obesity is one of the diagnosis criteria 
and it is evaluated by waist circumference. We aimed to determine the measurement of waist 
circumference in women with PCOS. Obesity and PCOS tend to increase throughout the world. 
In 1994, leptin was discovered to be directly related to body mass index in obesity. Ovarian cystic 
syndrome has been shown to be associated with leptin levels and also that indicating the need for 
prevention of obesity in women.
		                        		
		                        			Objective:
		                        			Clinical and medical determination for the waist circumference of women with PCOS and comporation 
study to leptin and comparative study to leptin levels.
		                        		
		                        			Мaterial and Methods:
		                        			This research included a total of 86 women aged 18-35 in Ulaanbaatar city. We took a permission to 
start the research at the meeting of the Research Ethics Council of the Mongolian National University 
of Medical Sciences on March 22, 2019. Statistical analysis of this study results was performed using 
SPSS 19.0, text recording using Microsoft Office 2018 software, T-test to exclude group differences, 
ANOVA test for differences between more than two groups, and p<0.05 statistical probability difference.
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			The research of the 56 women tested for leptin in the serum of women with PCOS, 28 (32.5%) had 
a normal BMI with PCOS and 28 (32.5%) had an excess of BMI with PCOS, respectively. The mean 
levels of leptin was 13.86±11.40 kg/ml for people with normal BMI, PCOS and 33.78±17.63 kg/ml 
for people with excess BMI, PCOS. Leptin is higher in women with BMI, PCOS and this result is 
statistically significant (P-value 0.000).
		                        		
		                        			Conclusion
		                        			Leptin levels are higher during PCOS, and leptin levels increase as the number of risk 
factors increases. Leptin secretion is affected by BMI and waist circumference.
