Is there any association between vitamin D status and PCOS disease?
Gynecol Endocrinol
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a widespread hormonal disorder in women of reproductive age, and this study focused on evaluating vitamin D levels in women with PCOS compared to healthy controls.
- The study analyzed 176 women, finding that 40.2% of those with PCOS had vitamin D deficiency, significantly higher than the 24% observed in healthy controls, and those with both PCOS and obesity or insulin resistance had even lower vitamin D levels.
- The research suggests that vitamin D deficiency may play a role in the development of PCOS, particularly in women with obesity or insulin resistance, indicating that vitamin D supplementation could be helpful in managing the condition.
