In low income and developing countries like India, there are very high chances of developing PCOS due to marked variation between culture, ethnic groups, diet, lifestyle and genetic factors. This study aims to determine the burden of probable PCOS among college going students in Puducherry.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_ijamh-2020-0108_abs_002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross sectional study was carried out among students aged 18 years and above in a Government College for Women located in urban Puducherry. A total of 610 students were selected through a cluster random sampling technique.

Regarding food habits, 43.1% were vegetarians and were having probable PCOS and this association was found to be statistically significant. No significant association was found between prevalence of probable PCOS and factors such as higher age, parental income, higher BMI and physical inactivity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_ijamh-2020-0108_abs_004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The present study found a high prevalence of probable PCOS among college going students, especially among study respondents who were obese, physically inactive and vegetarians compared to the counterpart.
