The role of biological factors such as hyperandrogenism, metabolic dysregulation, chronic low\u2010grade inflammation, gut microbiome, and genetic and epigenetic factors are highlighted. Also, psychosocial contributors includingillness perception (obesity, acne and hirsutism), menstruation, infertility issues, and sexual dysfunction, as well as eating disorders have a prevalent role. The majority of the studies included were systematic reviews and cross\u2010sectional original research studies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Given the complex pathophysiology underpinning both diseases independently as well as in combination, despite evolving research, there is no single unifying link.
