  • Title: [Long-term risks of polycystic ovaries syndrome].
    Author: Lefebvre P, Raingeard I, Renard E, Bringer J.
    Journal: Gynecol Obstet Fertil; 2004 Mar; 32(3):193-8. PubMed ID: 15123116.
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of the polycystic ovaries syndrome (PCOS) is high but it is a heterogeneous disorder with implications in numerous medical domains. Abdominal obesity and insulin resistance, which are the main metabolic disorders, are strong links between hormonal abnormalities and long-term medical consequences. The latter begin to be better understood. Some studies suggest that PCOS may increase the risk for several conditions, including type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and some cancers.
