The symptoms include infertility, amenorrhea, hirsutism, obesity, and androgenic alopecia. It is a socially stigmatizing condition and is often associated with depression, poor mental health, and quality of life.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Settings and Design:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We carried out a questionnaire based cross sectional study that assessed the prevalence of PCOS, collected information on the nutritional and life style related factors. A questionnaire was used to collect information with an intention to assess the prevalence of PCOS and to understand the contribution of life style\/nutrition to the risk of PCOS. Student\u2019s t test and Z proportion test were used to assess significance and a \u2018p\u2019 value of \u2264 0.05 was considered significant.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 972 females completed the questionnaire (mean age:24.37\u00b18.37 years). Majority were from Telangana (n=823;84.67%) and students (690;70.98%). The mean weight was 60.58\u00b113.03 kg and height was 1.78\u00b12.56 m. Sizeable proportion reported irregular menstrual cycle (n=289;29.73%), that they get easily depressed: 283\/972 (29.11%), low self-esteem:242\/972 (24.90%), insomnia:223\/972 (22.94%). A higher proportion of females were diabetic (8\/243;3.29%Vs.10\/706;1.42%;p=0.02) and non-vegetarian (69\/243;28.40%Vs.119\/706;16.86%;p=0.0002). No difference in the consumption of processed\/fast food, carbonated drinks and lifestyle were noted. A significantly (p=0.0001) higher proportion of females had a positive family history (32\/243;13.17%Vs.26\/706;3.68%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Higher prevalence of PCOS was noted in young female population.
