The Australian Longitudinal Women’s Health study is a large ongoing cohort study in over 14,000 Australian Women with data on weight, diet, lifestyle and physical activity. We aim to examine women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) from this cohort cross-sectionally and longitudinally to determine lifestyle-related contributors and risk factors for PCOS and the relationship of lifestyle factors to weight, weight management and reproductive and metabolic features of PCOS.
