15D health-related quality of life (HRQoL) mean sum scores of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or with self-reported diagnoses of asthma, migraine, rheumatoid arthritis, or depression compared with the controls. The number of women with self-reported diagnoses at age 31 were asthma n = 158, migraine n = 374, rheumatoid arthritis n = 23, and depression n = 99; and at age 46 were asthma n = 162, migraine n = 529, rheumatoid arthritis n = 32, and depression n = 303. The 15D mean sum scores were lower in all groups with the condition when compared with the controls without the condition. The range of 15D HRQoL varied in the control group at ages 31 (0.947–0.950) and 46 (0.921–0.929) depending on the condition chosen for the comparison. HRQoL for the controls in the figure represents the mean 15D compared with PCOS group. (*P < .05, **P < .01, ***P < .001 compared with the controls).
