Association between serum vitamin D levels and polycystic ovary syndrome: a cross-sectional study
Serum VD level is an independent protective factor against PCOS, and higher concentrations are associated with a lower risk of PCOS, particularly among older, obese, and certain marital status subgroups. This study provides epidemiological evidence supporting the potential value of VD in the prevention and intervention of PCOS, and suggests that future research should further explore its mechanistic pathways and individualized intervention strategies.
