Association of hyperandrogenaemia with hypertension and cardiovascular events in pre-menopausal women: a prospective population-based cohort study
Women with HA at premenopausal age had an elevated risk of hypertension, and together with BMI, increased risk of CVD events and CVD mortality during the 22-year follow-up. However, because of several study limitations regarding ethnicity and BMI characteristics, a longer follow-up of this cohort and future studies in ethnically diverse populations are needed to verify the results.
