The aetiology of PCOS is complex and multifactorial, involving genetic predisposition and environmentally driven increases in obesity, manifesting as hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance. Research has been underfunded in this condition with significant remaining knowledge gaps, particularly in its pathophysiology, heterogeneity, and long-term natural history. Epidemiological research is essential for understanding the natural history of this chronic and complex condition with current insight gaps and future directions outlined herein.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1530\/rep-25-0121","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,7]],"date-time":"2025-07-07T11:22:04Z","timestamp":1751887324000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/crossmarkpolicy-11","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME: ORIGINS AND IMPLICATIONS: Epidemiological aspects of polycystic ovary syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"170","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6307-2568","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Anju E","family":"Joham","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash Centre for Health Research and Implementation, Faculty of Medicine Nursing and Health Sciences, Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"},{"name":"Departments of Diabetes and Endocrinology, Monash Health, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D Aled","family":"Rees","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neuroscience and Mental Health Innovation Institute, Cardiff University, Cardiff, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kanade","family":"Shinkai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, University of California, San Francisco, California, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Forslund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Institute of Clinical Sciences, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden"},{"name":"Department of Gynecology and Reproductive Medicine, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chau Thien","family":"Tay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash Centre for Health Research and Implementation, Faculty of Medicine Nursing and Health Sciences, Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"},{"name":"Departments of Diabetes and Endocrinology, Monash Health, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Helena J","family":"Teede","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash Centre for Health Research and Implementation, Faculty of Medicine Nursing and Health Sciences, Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"},{"name":"Departments of Diabetes and Endocrinology, Monash Health, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","reference":[{"key":"bib1","series-title":"Clin Endocrinol","first-page":"187","article-title":"Long-term health outcomes in young women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a narrative review","volume":"97","author":"Allen LA","year":"2022","unstructured":"Allen LA\n, \nShrikrishnapalasuriyar N\n & \nRees DA\n\n 2022 Long-term health outcomes in young women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a narrative review.
