Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 6%-21% of women. PCOS is the primary cause anovulatory infertility, with major health and economic costs, yet we are unaware any community-based, natural history studies on fertility treatments published to date. We aim compare treatment use, relationship body mass index (BMI) in women reporting not a community-based population.This cross-sectional analysis longitudinal cohort study, Australian Longitudinal Study Women's Health (ALSWH).

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 6%-21% of women. PCOS has been associated with an increased risk dysglycemia including gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and type 2 (T2DM).The objective the study was to assess prevalence impact obesity in young reproductive-aged women without a community-based cohort.This cross-sectional analysis data from large longitudinal (the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health).The setting for general community.Women were randomly selected national...
Insulin resistance, hyperandrogenism, sympathetic dysfunction and chronic low-grade inflammation may act together in a vicious cycle the pathophysiology of PCOS.

Demographic clinical data collected, responses Patient Activation Measure (PAM) Summary Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) scale. Regression...
Background Obesity is reaching epidemic proportions in both developed and developing countries.

We thus performed randomised, double blind, crossover trial determine whether consumption diets reduce inflammation risks obese otherwise healthy adults. All participants (n = 20) consumed alternately for two weeks separated by four...
Background People living with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) experience compromised quality of life. Consequently, it is critical to identify understand factors influencing their health-related life (HRQoL). This study examined associated HRQoL among patients CKD.
