Funded Activity Summary

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and Type II Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) are major health burdens in Australia. T2DM is increased and CVD may be increased in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition present in 10% of women and 30% of obese reproductive aged women. We aim to explore risk factors for CVD and T2DM in women with PCOS and to assess the effect of treatment strategies on metabolic and reproductive features in PCOS. This is crucial for reducing disease risk in this common condition.
