Structured PICO

Does polycystic ovary syndrome accelerate the onset of diabetes and increase cardiometabolic risk factors in Chinese women?

Population

Chinese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

Comparator

Women without PCOS

Outcome

Progression of glucose intolerance, diabetes onset, and cardiometabolic risk factorssurrogate

Chinese women with PCOS experience an accelerated progression to diabetes, with onset occurring on average 10 years earlier than in women without PCOS.
