This is a research study that follows women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) over time to understand how the condition affects their bodies. Researchers will measure stress hormones in your urine, ask you questions about your quality of life, and use special scans to look at your body composition and bone structure. The study is building a biobank — a collection of blood samples — to help scientists learn more about PCOS and how it's connected to other health conditions like diabetes and heart disease.
Women with PCOS often experience high stress hormone levels, which may affect their wellbeing and quality of life. This study aims to better understand these hormonal patterns and how PCOS impacts bone health and overall health risks, so doctors can provide better care and support.

You would visit the research center to donate a fasting blood sample (taken before eating), complete questionnaires about your quality of life and stress levels, and have non-invasive body scans (DXA and ExtremeCT) to measure your bone health and body composition. You may also be asked to provide urine samples to measure stress hormones. Your blood sample would be stored in a biobank for future research. The study is recruiting 500 women and will follow them over time to track changes in their health.
