During LIFEHOUSE, researchers documented distinct patterns of physical exam findings and biomarker abnormalities in 369 adult employees, which may aid clinicians in recognizing wellness challenges and preventing chronic diseases associated with aging.

In this study, researchers identified two person-centered sexual function profiles among women, linked to physical and psychological factors, with PCOS showing greater, though not significant, presence in the dysfunction profile. The dysfunction was associated with higher adiposity and body-image distress.

This review discusses the negative health impacts of testosterone deficiency and the potential adverse effects of 5α-reductase inhibitors, emphasizing the need for patient-physician discussions regarding these treatments.

This study found that women with epilepsy on carbamazepine and sodium valproate monotherapy experienced more significant weight gain but showed no difference in PCOS incidence compared to phenytoin users; elevated TSH levels were more common among those on sodium valproate.

In this study, researchers are constructing a comprehensive data set from 997 adult participants in Japan to develop a statistical model that explores the relationships among various health parameters, aiming to enable personalized and preventive health care interventions based on empirical data.

This review discusses guidelines for androgen use in women and concludes that more research is needed before recommending testosterone due to insufficient evidence on safety and efficacy.

This study found that the revised 43-item PCOSQ had better validity and reliability than the original version, although further studies are needed to assess its predictive efficacy.

In this research, animal tests confirmed that chromium supplementation effectively maintains glycaemic and insulinaemic balance and affects certain hormone levels, but the authors note that clinical evidence for chromium's benefits in PCOS treatment remains sparse and inconsistent, warranting further exploration.

Testosterone replacement can help menopausal women with various symptoms, but should be used carefully and is not yet officially licensed in the UK for women.

Women with premature ovarian insufficiency have a worse cardiovascular risk profile than premenopausal women.

This study found that reduced plasma DIAPH1 levels were associated with polycystic ovary syndrome, suggesting DIAPH1 as a potential predictive factor for the condition.
