The association between meat consumption and polycystic ovary syndrome in Iranian women: a case–control study
The results of the present study showed that a higher consumption of red and processed meat is associated with a higher risk of PCOS, whereas no significant correlation was found between the consumption of poultry, fish, and organ meat and PCOS. However, more studies are needed to support these findings in the future.
