The study found that metformin alone most effectively reduced insulin resistance in Iraqi women with PCOS, but combining metformin with finasteride produced greater improvements in insulin sensitivity markers.

This study reported that women with polycystic ovarian syndrome have higher serum irisin levels, which are associated with metabolic and hormonal imbalances, including hyperandrogenism, total cholesterol, and visceral fat.

This study found that metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease is linked to a higher risk of androgenetic alopecia, especially in women and individuals with certain lifestyle patterns.

In this bibliometric analysis, researchers observed that precision medicine approaches, such as individualized interventions and biomarker-guided subtyping, are increasingly integrated into prediabetes research, highlighting shifts toward using multi-omics data and artificial intelligence for patient stratification and prevention strategies.

This review highlights that metabolic syndrome is intricately linked with various skin conditions such as inflammatory skin diseases and tumors through mechanisms involving insulin resistance and chronic inflammation, aiming to guide clinicians on effective treatments and preventive strategies for affected patients.

This study found that alopecia areata patients have a higher prevalence of carotid subclinical atherosclerosis, with factors such as disease duration, systemic inflammation, and insulin resistance potentially contributing to this increased risk.

In this study, researchers found a significant relationship between mid-luteal progesterone levels and 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels in infertile patients, suggesting that about 20 ng/mL of vitamin D may be necessary to trigger ovulation or support progesterone secretion.

This narrative review discusses the mixed and evolving evidence regarding glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and their influence on erectile dysfunction in men with type 2 diabetes and obesity, highlighting potential benefits and concerns yet to be clarified.

This study found that older age at puberty may be associated with lower semen quality and altered reproductive hormone levels in young men, though only some results were statistically significant.

In this case report from People's College of Medical Sciences, a 20-year-old man initially misdiagnosed with Addison's disease was ultimately found to have strongyloidiasis, with his symptoms and weight loss improving after antihelminthic treatment.

This article reports on a case where a 26-year-old woman with acromegaloidism was found to have X-tetrasomy, suggesting it should be considered in differential diagnoses due to its potential impact on growth-related genes.

This review discusses how mesenchymal stromal cell-based therapy holds promise for treating age-related diseases, given its potential to target aging's pathological features, although significant challenges remain for its clinical application.

Higher BMI is linked to a lower risk of non-aggressive prostate cancer and a higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer.

This study found that higher BMI was significantly associated with more severe hair loss in men with male-pattern and early-onset androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that testosterone levels are commonly low among men with type 2 diabetes, and most of these men exhibit symptoms of hypogonadism, with BMI being a significant risk factor.

This study found a significant correlation between lower triglyceride levels and reduced acne severity among medical students, while no significant association was observed between BMI and acne severity.

This study found that among overweight and obese children in Dhaka, altered glucose metabolism was present, with no cases of type 2 diabetes observed but some showing insulin resistance, impaired fasting glucose, and impaired glucose tolerance.

This study observed an association between body mass index and androgenetic alopecia, with the highest prevalence occurring in individuals with a normal BMI at 34.8%.

This study found that in men with male-pattern androgenetic alopecia in Taiwan, a higher body mass index is associated with more severe hair loss.

This study found that low BMI may increase the risk of developing chilblains in individuals exposed to cold weather, with many patients experiencing recurrent lesions each winter.

This Mendelian randomization study suggests a causal link between higher BMI and increased risk of psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and hidradenitis suppurativa, potentially due to elevated biomarkers such as triglycerides and C-reactive protein.

This study found a significant association between unhealthy food patterns and higher BMI in young women with PCOS, emphasizing the need for awareness of lifestyle's impact on hormonal and metabolic health.

This study found that a modified Ferriman-Gallwey score of 11 may be appropriate for diagnosing hirsutism in Turkish women, but should be adjusted based on individual factors like age, skin type, and family history.

This meta-analysis utilized genome-wide association data to explore the genetic traits related to perceived youthfulness across different sex groups in the UK Biobank, incorporating factors like facial aging and lifestyle habits, but the abstract does not report specific results.

This study conducted a genome-wide association meta-analysis using UK Biobank data to explore genetic correlations with perceived youthfulness, revealing traits linked to this perception among both male and female participants.

This study found that higher BMI in PCOS patients at a Chinese clinic was associated with functional disorders of androgen excess, suggesting BMI may predict hyperandrogenism in this population.

This study found a significant association between higher BMI and severe androgenic alopecia in men.

This study reports that severe androgenic alopecia prevalence in young Caucasian men increases with age, varies by region, and that body mass index may be a risk factor.

In this study, a low-glycemic index anti-inflammatory diet led to decreased testosterone levels, increased sex hormone-binding globulin, and improved well-being in overweight and obese women with hyperandrogenism, suggesting that diet and lifestyle changes can positively influence clinical symptoms.

This study found no association between serum concentrations of irisin or GIP and BMI in women with or without PCOS.
