Temporal trends in the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome in China from 1990 to 2021, and projections until 2036: a comparison with Japan, Asia, and global level
The prevalence of the PCOS in China has increased significantly over the past three decades. The age group with a high prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome among Chinese women is 20-25 years old. And women in the new birth cohort are more likely to develop polycystic ovary syndrome. It is imperative that the government standardize the diagnosis and treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome and provide health education to the women.
