Objective: To study ferritin levels, and potential factors influencing them, in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and to investigate potential associations between ferritin levels and other parameters in these women.
Design: Longitudinal general population -based cohort study, including data from both questionnaires and clinical measurements.
Subjects: The study was conducted with data from the participants of the Women's Health Study, including a total of 1918 Finnish women, around 35 years of age.
Association of hemoglobin levels with metabolic traits in women with PCOS.

Introduction: Within normal variation, higher hemoglobin (Hb) levels are associated with poorer metabolic profile in population cohorts, underlying the link between oxygen delivery and cell metabolism. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder among women and is commonly accompanied by metabolic derangements. In this study we sought to investigate Hb levels, and their metabolic associations, in women with PCOS.

- The study investigates how different movement behaviors (like physical activity and sedentary time) affect cardiometabolic health in women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
- It found no overall differences in daily movement patterns between the groups, but reducing sedentary behavior (SB) while increasing moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) improved health markers for women without PCOS, while women with PCOS only showed benefits from substituting SB with MVPA.
- The research involved a large cohort study from Northern Finland, analyzing data from 5889 women with follow-ups at ages 31 and 46, focusing on physical activity levels and cardiometabolic health indicators.
Objective: To investigate eating behavior domains-emotional, uncontrolled, and cognitive restraint eating-in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with different PCOS phenotypes and women without PCOS at midlife.
Design: A prospective cohort study. Eating behavior domains were assessed at age of 46 years.
