Women s metabolic-reproductive health is examined in a review linking the syndrome to later cognitive and neurodegenerative vulnerability; open this article to understand the scope and implications of that research.
Key Takeaways
- Women with polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) show mild but reproducible impairments in memory and executive function.
- The apparent increased Alzheimer’s and dementia risk in PMOS is primarily mediated by chronic insulin resistance and obesity.
- Proactive metabolic management in early adulthood could reduce long-term neurodegenerative vulnerability in PMOS patients.
