The hospital have had a recent publication in an international journal (see attached) on this subject. It is the first study in this area to suggest PCOS per se independent of presence of obesity or insulin resistance/diabetes may be an independent risk factor for heart disease.

As their study only involved very strictly selected individuals form a young age group, they are now doing a larger trial on women age between 20-60 years of age.

They are halfway through study but am looking for 40 more PCOS subjects and controls to participate, specifically ages between 20-30 and 40-60.

It involves a one off two hour visit to The Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
