Global and Chinese epidemiologic study of polycystic ovary syndrome in women of childbearing age, 1990-2021, and projections to 2035: Based on the Global Burden of Disease 2021 study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of this study was to synthesize and analyze the burden of disease of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women of reproductive age globally and in China from 1990 to 2021.

Methods

The study utilized data from the Global Burden of Disease 2021 database, which contains detailed epidemiologic information from 204 countries and territories. Incidence, prevalence and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) were assessed. Bayesian age-period cohort modeling was applied to project trends in the burden of disease up to 2035.

Results

Global trend: the incidence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) increased slightly from 58.84/100,000 in 1990 to 60.30/100,000 in 2021. there was a significant increase in prevalence of 29.66% a
