Dietitians can play a key role in managing nutritional misinformation, supporting patient health literacy and nutritional self-management for women with PMOS: doi.org/10.1016/j.advnut.202…

Historically, medical research has relied heavily on male participants, with findings often generalized to women and children.
If women’s health is discussed at all, it’s largely framed around reproduction.
This special issue of Science highlights the research that is seeking to close the critical gaps in women’s health. Learn more: scim.ag/4hy8ACT
ALT Women make up more than half the population, but most of what we know about women’s biology comes from extrapolation of studies in men. This has been changing in recent years, and this special issue highlights some of the progress in understanding the biological basis of sex differences in health and disease and medical issues relevant to women’s health across different stages of life.

Key gaps in clinical and epidemiological research for PMOS remain, particularly research focused on cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes. Priorities for this research is outlined in a new paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.cmet.2026.…

NIH-funded researchers found that women with endometriosis were 46% more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than women without the condition.
While more research is needed, this suggests that endometriosis can affect more than just reproductive health for women.

A study found that global prevalence of PMOS & phenotypes varies widely by region, ranging from 1.6-48.5% depending on the region & diagnostic criteria. doi.org/10.3390/ijerph230810…
A new review paper identifies barriers & facilitators to implementing lifestyle recommendations for PMOS, as well as strategies to support improvement in lifestyle management. doi.org/10.1113/ep092880

A new study found that >90% of women experienced repeatability in the number of follicular waves over the 2 IOIs, while 59% exhibited repeatability in wave patterns. doi.org/10.3389/fendo.2026.1…
Could a digital tool be used to assess risk of PMOS? A new paper developed a PCOS risk algorithm (PriskA) that may help reduce diagnostic delays and improve care. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4176…
A new study found that Asian women with PMOS are at a lower risk for atherosclerotic CVD compared to White women, while Black & Hispanic women are at a higher risk. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4253…
A new study showed that time restricted eating, particularly eating earlier in the day, has benefits for glycemic control, metabolic health, and weight management in women with PMOS/PCOS. doi.org/10.1007/s00394-026-0…

Relative to 2006-2015, PCOS/PMOS funding ⬆️ by 48% ($10.33 mil annually). However, this growth lags behind increases observed in other conditions, highlighting that research continues to be underfunded. doi.org/10.1210/clinem/dgag2…
