Consumption of diet high in sugar-sweetened beverages is correlated with prevalence of PCOS in women at reproductive age. A multiple linear regression model (459 state-year observations) was used to test the correlation between diet high in sugar-sweetened beverages and prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). State and year fixed effects were included in the model. Gross domestic product (GDP) per capita was used to control for income. (A) Correlation between summary exposure value (SEV) of risk factors and prevalence of PCOS in women at reproductive age. (B) Correlation between SEV of risk factors and prevalence of PCOS 10 years later, in women aged 35-39. (C) Correlation between SEV of risk factors and prevalence of PCOS 10 years later, in women aged 40-45. Graphs express mean ± 95% confidence interval and p is shown for each SEV.
