PCOS affects 6 to 18% of women worldwide, affecting their reproductive, metabolic, and psychological wellbeing. Most of the epidemiological studies show that over-nutrition and associated behavioural risk factors plays a significant role in increasing the prevalence of the diseases and related interventions shows significant improvement in the condition of PCOS Patients. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of PCOS and its relation with age and over-nutrition among the reproductive age women of India. In order to evaluate the prevalence rate of PCOS, which was correlated to obesity and age, a cross-sectional study was undertaken among 100 reproductive women in India aged 21-40 by utilizing digital platform. The quantitative data shows that prevalence of obesity was 34% among the selected respondents. Among the behavioural risk factors of the PCOS, alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking, caffeine consumption and sedentary life style shows significant association with prevalence of obesity among the PCOS patients. Furthermore, based on the evidence, it's possible to conclude that there's a link between reproductive age and PCOS, as well as the occurrence of over-nutrition. The data of the study shows a significant association of age with the prevalence of obesity among the PCOS patients.
