Here’s why young women with polycystic ovary syndrome have higher risk of heart disease
Women in their 30s and 40s with a common condition affecting how the ovaries work are more likely to get heart disease suggests a new study.
The study has been published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).1
“Polycystic ovary syndrome isn’t a life sentence - there are many ways to stay heart healthy. Small changes add up, like eating more fruits and vegetables and doing more exercise,” said study author Dr. Clare Oliver-Williams of the University of Cambridge, UK.
It is estimated that 6-20 percent of women of reproductive age have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Features of the condition include multiple cysts (fluid-filled sacs) on the ovaries, irregular periods, excess body hair or hair loss from the head due to high levels of male hormones, and difficulty becoming pregnant.
