March 2019 in “Anthropology and Medicine” The paper explored the rise of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in India, linking it to sociocultural, environmental, and political-economic changes following the country's economic liberalization in 1991. It argued that public health discussions often focused narrowly on diet and exercise, overlooking broader transformations in health practices due to globalization. By examining public discourses and medical semantics related to PCOS, the study highlighted the importance of considering the political ecology of health. This approach provided insights into how modern relationships between the body and its environment contributed to the increase in metabolic disorders, offering valuable perspectives for biomedical and public health research.
