Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 10–13% of women worldwide and is characterized by metabolic, reproductive, dermatological and psychological manifestations, with long term health implications. The aetiology of PCOS is complex and multifactorial, involving genetic predisposition and environmentally driven increases in obesity, manifesting as hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance. Research has been underfunded in this condition with significant remaining knowledge gaps, particularly in its pathophysiology, heterogeneity, and long-term natural history. Epidemiological research is essential for understanding the natural history of this chronic and complex condition with current insights gaps and future directions outlined herein.
