We used modified-Poisson regression models to estimate prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for PCOS diagnoses, comparing completely heterosexual participants (referent) to sexual minority participants (i.e., heterosexual with same-sex partnership, mostly heterosexual, bisexual, and lesbian). We also assessed whether health care utilization modified the association between sexual orientation and PCOS diagnosis.

Compared to completely heterosexual participants, sexual minority participants had a higher adjusted prevalence of PCOS diagnosis (PR: 1.28, 95% CI: 1.12\u20131.46). Within sexual minority subgroups, mostly heterosexual (PR: 1.24, 95% CI: 1.06\u20131.45), bisexual (PR: 1.69, 95% CI: 1.29\u20132.22), and lesbian (PR: 1.50, 95% CI: 1.04\u20132.16) participants had an elevated prevalence of PCOS compared to completely heterosexual participants.
