Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a serious clinical issue of the present age. It mostly affects women of reproductive age. Obesity is considered a potential risk factor associated with PCOS. Objective: The goal of this review was to evaluate the prevalence of PCOS based on ranges of body mass index (BMI). Methodology: All the suitable databases such as Google Scholar, Springer, and PubMed were searched for relevant articles. Definition of BMI was obtained from the World Health Organization (WHO) website. Articles published before 2021 were considered in this review. Only articles demonstrating the prevalence of PCOS with BMI and obesity were chosen, while others were excluded. Conclusion: PCOS is positively correlated with BMI. The prevalence of PCOS tends to increase beyond BMI 25kg/m2.
