Introduction and Aim: HIRSUTISM is defined as the excessive growth of thick dark hair in locations where hair growth in women usually is minimal or absent. There are many causes of HIRSUTISM. Its causes can be idiopathic, ovarian diseases, adrenal and hypophysial disorders. The proposes of this study consist the determination of HIRSUTISM frequency in Birjand students and evaluation of the relationship of HIRSUTISM with body mass index (BMI) , MENSTRUAL PATTERN, ACNE, history of PCOS, Skin and hair color, Familial history of HIRSUTISM and menarche age. Materials and Methods: This study was done in two stages. First, a cross- sectional study was done to determine the frequency of HIRSUTISM among the Birjand high school students and Birjand university of Medical Sciences students in 2003-2004 (750 girls were chosen through multistage sampling), and then the case-control study (126 cases and 126 controls) was done to evaluate the relationship between HIRSUTISM and related factors by measuring of height and weight of students and completion of a questionnaire. Data were analyzed by using SPSS package, Chi-Square, logistic regression analysis and t test. Results: 126 (16.8%) cases of total 750 cases had HIRSUTISM. 9.5% of hirsute persons and 0.8% of control group had BMI greater than 25. (P<0.05) Average BMI in the case group and control group was determined (20.7 and 19.6) respectively. 19.8% of case group (and 14.3% of control group) had abnormal MENSTRUAL PATTERN, 22.2% of case group (and 8.7% of control group) had active ACNE, 84.9% of case group (and 58.7% of control group) had dark black hair, 90.5% of case group (and 69.9% of control group) had dark skin. 6.3% of case group (and 4.8% of control group) had history of PCOS and 67.5% of case group (and 4% of control group) had positive familial history.(P<0.05) Menarche age in case group and control group was reported 13.5 years and 13.6 years respectively .(P>0.05) Conclusion: According to the results there is a significant relationship between HIRSUTISM and BMI, ACNE, skin and hair color and familial history of HIRSUTISM but there isn't a significant relationship between HIRSUTISM with MENSTRUAL PATTERN , PCOS history and menarche age.
