Countries with a higher Socio-demographic Index (SDI) bear a heavier burden of PCOS, effectively controlling its growth trend. Inequality persists. Population growth and epidemiological changes are driving the increase in the burden of PCOS. By 2035, the burden of PCOS is projected to continue increasing.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The global burden of PCOS shows an overall increasing trend, with significant differences among different regions and countries.
