Lewandowski et al. (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) (n=490). Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) was evaluated on Prevalence of dyslipidaemia and pre-diabetes. Most women with PCOS lack significant dyslipidaemia or glucose intolerance, with 81.8% having total cholesterol <200 mg/dl and 96.08% having fasting glucose <100 mg/dl.
