Total testosterone (TT) and AMH levels were assessed, with specific cut\u2010offs established from a healthy control group.

Among 798 eligible women, 38 (4.8%) had both irregular cycles and significant hirsutism, 75 (9.4%) had only significant hirsutism, 141 (17.7%) had only irregular cycles, and 544 (68.2%) had neither. After TT and AMH evaluation and excluding two hyperprolactinemia cases, a 6.9% (55\/798) prevalence was found among 57 women with probable PCOS. Familial predisposition, unhealthy sleep behavior, and higher androgenic and metabolic features were observed in women with PCOS versus controls. Metabolic syndrome frequency was higher among adult PCOS (33.3% vs. 4.0%) than adolescent PCOS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The prevalence of PCOS among Bangladeshi women was 6.9%, with distinctive features compared to controls.
