Overview
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders in reproductive-age women, with a prevalence of 4-12% in the United States. Up to 10% of women are diagnosed with PCOS.
Epidemiology
Prevalence
- Approximately 5% to 10% of women of reproductive age are affected.[1][2]
- Prevalence among first-degree relatives of patients with PCOS is 25% to 50%, suggesting a strong inheritance of the syndrome; there is evidence for possible X-linked dominant transmission.
Demographics
Age
Polycystic ovary syndrome can appear anytime from menarche until menopause but generally, is seen around menarche and is diagnosed then or in early adulthood.[3]
Gender
Polycystic ovary syndrome occurs in approximately 1 in 10 women.
Race
There is no racial predilection for polycystic ovary syndrome.
