This study observed a 19.7% prevalence of polycystic ovarian syndrome among Afro-Caribbean women in Tobago, a rate higher than that reported in North American studies.

In this study, researchers reported that about one-third of men with premature alopecia displayed hormonal shifts and higher insulin resistance, resembling the prevalence pattern of PCOS in women.

This study found a high prevalence of hyperandrogenemia in women with PCOS, with distinct biochemical differences according to BMI and presence of hyperandrogenemia.

This study tested the feasibility of using multimodal recruitment strategies to assemble a diverse group of 438 women for a web-based survey on ovulation and menstruation health, finding that internet and community fair methods achieved higher enrollment and completion rates compared to clinic recruitment.

This study found that prostate cancer aggressiveness in men with obesity is associated with changes in age, BMI, testosterone, and estradiol levels, and that adipocyte-secreted molecules increase cancer cell aggressiveness in vitro.

This case-control study in Missan Province, Iraq, found that married women with PCOS had higher rates of obesity and menstrual irregularities, along with elevated testosterone, LH, and insulin levels, compared to healthy controls, highlighting significant hormonal and metabolic complications.

This study found that anovulatory PCOS patients were younger, had longer menstrual cycles, and higher systolic blood pressures compared to ovulatory patients.

This study found that multimodal recruitment strategies successfully achieved target recruitment quickly and created a racially diverse cohort to study ovulation and menstruation health, with higher survey completion rates noted among participants recruited via the internet and community fairs than in clinics.

This study found that androgenetic alopecia in Chinese college students is more prevalent in males and is significantly associated with rosacea, with clinic patients experiencing a higher disease burden.

This study found that obese individuals commonly experienced skin manifestations such as acanthosis nigricans, hyperandrogenism features, and increased cutaneous infections compared to non-obese individuals.

This study suggests that using combined oral contraceptives does not increase hair glucocorticoid levels, but hair treatments should be considered as a confounder in stress biomarker assessments.

This study found that subcutaneous testosterone therapy improved scalp hair growth in a majority of androgen-deficient women who previously reported hair thinning and did not report hair loss as a side effect.

In this study of women with PCOS, hirsutism strongly correlated with metabolic abnormalities, while acne and androgenic alopecia were not clear markers of biochemical hyperandrogenemia or metabolic dysfunction.

In this study, lower serum adiponectin levels and altered lipid profiles were observed in patients with periorbital melanosis, suggesting an association with metabolic syndrome.

This study found that among Chinese college freshmen, androgenetic alopecia was more prevalent in males and significantly associated with rosacea, but had no significant impact on quality of life or mental health measures.

This review discusses the age-related diagnostic challenges and comorbidities of polycystic ovarian syndrome and provides no new clinical findings; the authors emphasize the role of obesity in insulin resistance among affected women.

This study suggests that the TNF-α system may contribute to hyperandrogenism, obesity, and insulin resistance in polycystic ovarian syndrome, independent of the C850T polymorphism.

This study found that girls with isolated premature thelarche, confirmed by GnRH stimulation test, aged 4-8 years, may have significantly advanced bone age, with obesity and serum IGF-1 and DHEAS levels being key risk factors.

Obesity is linked to various skin problems and may increase the risk of skin cancer.

This study found that 66.3% of primary healthcare center attendees in the Jazan region reported experiencing hair loss, with the majority being female and most commonly identifying telogen effluvium.

This study found that severe obesity is positively associated with more severe lower urinary tract symptoms compared to moderate obesity in patients with prostatic enlargement.

This study observed that inflammatory stimuli significantly altered gene expression in rat theca-interstitial cells, affecting pathways related to growth and androgen production, which are central features of polycystic ovary syndrome.

This study reported that high cholesterol levels were linked to increased prostate cancer risk, while selenium supplementation affected gene expression, suggesting nutritional and clinical factors might influence prostate cancer risk and biology.

This study found that hair cortisol levels increase and testosterone levels decrease with obesity, suggesting that measuring hormones in hair may be a valuable tool in obesity research and clinical practice.

This study found that chronic low-grade inflammation exists independently of excess weight or obesity in women with PCOS, with notable increases in specific cytokines such as IL-9, MCP-3, and MIP-1α.

In this study, normal weight adolescents with PCOS showed increased insulin resistance and significantly lower levels of high molecular weight adiponectin compared to controls, despite no other metabolic differences.

This study found that anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a valuable primary variable for classifying functional androgenization, especially in distinguishing ovarian-related groups, and supports the novel stratification system.

This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome in China had elevated androgen levels compared to healthy controls, and suggests body weight management and SHBG and FAI testing are recommended for these women.

This study found a high prevalence of thyrotoxicosis among females in Gujranwala, Pakistan, particularly noting typical symptoms such as goiter, sweating, and menstrual irregularities.

This study found that acupuncture may reduce anxiety and depression in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, potentially through hormonal and neuroendocrine modulation, but further high-quality research is needed to confirm these findings.
