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.

PMOS extends beyond reproductive health, affecting metabolic and overall health throughout life.
Recognizing it as a lifelong endocrine and metabolic condition can support more comprehensive, individualized care.

Fantastic ongoing global media interest, high impact publications and professional society endorsements of the name change from PCOS to PMOS! Awareness is the first step to set the foundation for our journey to improve clinical care, education, research and policy related to PMOS
PCOS has been renamed PMOS - Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. See our correspondence in @NatureMedicine

A recent paper affirms that a PMOS diagnosis should be made in adolescents with clear + persistent evidence of HA & menstrual irregularity. Those with 1 feature are at ⬆️ risk & should be followed longitudinally to minimize under- & over-diagnosis. doi.org/10.1210/clinem/dgag1…

CSEM supports the global name change: PCOS → PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome). Published in The Lancet. Affects 1 in 8 women worldwide. A better name = better awareness, diagnosis & care. 🔬

Fantastic opportunity to share our work on the COMET-PCOS study at #ENDO2025 #pcos #hormonal therapies #metformin @aepcossociety @PennOBGYN @verity
From #ENDO2025: Although the addition of #metformin offered little benefit, combined #OralContraceptive pills were associated with improved #obesity outcomes in hyperandrogenic #PCOS.
