Diabetes: fasting plasma glucose ≥ 126 mg/dL or use of diabetic medications; Dyslipidemia: LDL cholesterol > 160 mg/dL, HDL cholesterol < 40 mg/dL, triglycerides > 200 mg/dL, or use of cholesterol-lowering medications; Hypertension: blood pressure ≥ 140/90 mmHg or the use of antihypertensive medications.

a

Sample size for logistic regression models for each outcome.

b

Logistic regression model adjusted for age, race, BMI, education, and parity obtained at Year 2, and family history of diabetes obtained at Year 0. Values represent odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of women with PCOS compared to women without PCOS.

c

Logistic regression model adjusted for the covariates in Model 1 plus BMI at Year 20
