| Abstract: | Background Despite the heavy burden and impact of the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in reproduction and public health, estimates regarding
its prevalence at community levels are limited. We aimed to ascertain prevalence of PCOS in a community based sample using
the National Institute of Health (NIH), the Rotterdam consensus (Rott.) and the Androgen Excess Society (AES) criteria. |
