  • Women and girls: pushes public and clinician education to improve diagnosis and treatment. PCOS affects about 10% of women and up to 70% may be undiagnosed.
  • Health care professionals and researchers: urges accelerated research and better treatment and care options. The resolution links PCOS to diabetes, heart disease, a fourfold higher risk of endometrial cancer, and higher rates of mental health disorders.
