Self-Reported Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Is Associated With Hypertension: A Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 Study

Abstract

Women with srPCOS displayed higher BP compared with controls already at early age and srPCOS was associated with hypertension independently of overweight/obesity. srPCOS was associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity in premenopausal women, suggesting that cardiovascular disease risk factors should be screened and efficiently managed early enough in women with PCOS.
