Aim: of the study was to compare levels of blood lipids, anthropometric characteristics and their relationship in women with PCOS with a group of healthy women.
Methods And Results: We determined anthropometric indicators (BMI - body mass index, waist measurement, waist/hip ratio), blood lipid levels (total cholesterol TCH, high density cholesterol HDL, low density cholesterol LDL and triglycerides TAG) in a group of women with PCOS and a healthy control group. Levels of evaluated blood lipids in women with PCOS and the healthy control group were within the normal range. Women with PCOS differed statistically significantly from the control group in a higher concentration of triglycerides (control 1.01 ± 0.7 mmol.l-1, PCOS 1.17 ± 0.58). In women with PCOS we proved a positive correlation between BMI, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and levels of triglycerides. In women with PCOS waist measurement showed a statistically significant relationship to values of LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and level of triglycerides.
Conclusions: All women with PCOS in our study had very good levels of blood lipoproteins (total cholesterol, LDL and HDL cholesterol, triglycerides) so we are not sure if there is any importance of changes in blood lipid metabolism in these patients (Tab. 1, Fig. 2, Ref. 16).

Background: The aim is to develop age-specific anti-Müllerian hormone screening criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome to facilitate the early detection and diagnosis of the condition, and to subsequently evaluate the screening criteria.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on patient data from Hangzhou Women's Hospital between July 2021 and August 2024. The use of restricted cubic spline analysis helped identify age-related inflection points, which were crucial for segmenting the patient population.

Background: Menstrual health is critical for women of reproductive age. It is also evident that menstrual disorders have contributed to the increasing burden of non-communicable diseases.
Objective: To our knowledge, no literature review explicitly addresses the prevalence, risk factors, and health-seeking behaviour of menstrual disorders in India.

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic condition impacting millions of women worldwide. This study sought to identify granulosa cell endoplasmic reticulum stress (GCERS)-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between women with PCOS and those without PCOS using bioinformatics and to investigate the related molecular mechanisms.
Methods: Two datasets were downloaded from GEO and analysed using the limma package to identify DEGs in two groups-PCOS and normal granulosa cells.

Introduction: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects 5-20% of reproductive-aged women. Insulin resistance (IR) is common in PCOS with consequent elevated risks of metabolic disorders and cardiovascular mortality. PCOS and obesity are complex conditions associated with Metabolic Syndrome (MS), contributing to cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D).

Objectives: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) represents a significant and persistent metabolic disorder, emerging as a leading factor contributing to infertility. Despite its profound impact, there remains an inadequate understanding of the global burden of PCOS-related infertility across diverse regions and countries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the global, regional, and national burden of PCOS-related infertility from 1990 to 2019.
