Article Synopsis
- Family-planning policies traditionally focused on contraceptives to control population growth, but many countries now experience fertility rates below replacement level, leading to predicted population declines by 2100.
- In response to these declining population trends, countries are exploring child-friendly policies, including financial incentives and limited funding for fertility treatments, to encourage family growth.
- The IFFS consensus document highlights disparities in access to fertility care and emphasizes the need for a broader understanding of family building, encompassing various methods like natural conception, ART, surrogacy, and adoption.
Besides age, estrogen exposure plays a crucial role in changes in bone density (BD) in women. Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are conditions in reproductive-aged women in which the exposure to estrogen is substantially different. Women with a history of preeclampsia (PE) are expected to have normal estrogen exposure.

- Understanding the cardiovascular risk for women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is important, especially when considering the impact of hyperandrogenism over time.
- A study compared the cardiometabolic profiles of three groups of women: those consistently hyperandrogenic (HA-HA), those who transitioned to normoandrogenic (HA-NA), and those who were normoandrogenic (NA-NA) over nearly 16 years.
- Results showed that both HA-HA and HA-NA groups had higher body mass indexes, blood pressure, and unfavorable cholesterol levels, indicating a higher risk for cardiovascular disease, although calcium scores and coronary plaque prevalence were similar across all groups.
