Reproductive hormones and anthropometry: A follow-up of PCOS and controls from perimenopause to older than 80 years
Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism Dec 21, 2020
Forslund M, Schmidt J, Brännström M, et al. - In this prospective cohort study, researchers sought to determine reproductive hormones and anthropometry in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) older than 80 years. This investigation was carried out at a university hospital. A well-defined cohort of PCOS women, earlier examined in 1987 and 2008 (21 years) was reexamined in 2019 (11 years). Of the original cohort (n = 37), 22 women were still alive and 21 (age range, 72-91 years) enrolled. The authors discovered that women with PCOS had lower FSH levels at 72 to 91 years of age, remained clinically hyperandrogenic, and had similar FAI and body composition as controls.
