Trends and projections of polycystic ovary syndrome burden in China: Insights from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
The burden of PCOS in China has risen substantially over three decades and is projected to escalate further. Marked increases in PCOS incidence and prevalence were observed among younger age groups, indicating an earlier onset or diagnosis. These findings highlight a shifting burden toward younger age groups and underscore the importance of age-specific surveillance and prevention strategies to address the evolving epidemiology of PCOS in China.
