Aims: A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to determine the association of metabolic syndrome (METS) in women with and without overactive bladder (OAB).
Methods: PRISMA guidelines were followed and the protocol was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42024606398). We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and LILACS databases to obtain relevant articles for studies reporting METS outcomes related to OAB published through October 2024.
Purpose: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the associations between telomere length and telomerase activity in subjects with and without metabolic syndrome (MetS).
Methods: The meta-analysis protocol was registered in the PROSPERO database. The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and LILACS databases were searched for studies reporting telomere length or telomerase activity in adult men and non-pregnant women with and without MetS.
Background: The aim of this study was to determine factors involved in urinary incontinence (UI), and psychological resilience in postmenopausal women.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 137 postmenopausal women (aged 50-75 years) filled out the 4-item International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire short form (ICIQ-SF), the 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD-10), the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and a questionnaire containing personal data. We designed a directed acyclic graph (DAG) to identify covariates related to urinary incontinence and resilience in postmenopausal women.

Background: Some studies have reported that homocysteine, vitamin B12, and folic acid levels are associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), whereas other studies yielded controversial results.
Objectives: This study aimed to systematize the available evidence of homocysteine, vitamin B12, and folate levels in women with and without PCOS.
Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
