 With a background of few observations of lipid profile and testosterone in non–obese polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) females at our region, we have initiated the study. 52 non–obese PCOS female subjects (BMI<25) and 50 control subjects were selected for the study. (S) total cholesterol, VLDL, LDL, HDL, TG and testosterone were measured in PCOS subjects and compared with controls. Significant increase of (S) VLDL, TG, testosterone and significant decrease of (S) HDL were observed in non–obese PCOS female group when compared with non–obese controls.  Elevated serum lipids reflected the metabolic state in those patients; all non–obese PCOS patients should be screened for dyslipidemia and serum testosterone for effective cardiovascular risk prevention.
