We observed a 15.1% prevalence of PCOS in our medically unbiased population of premenopausal women. In this population of Siberian premenopausal women of Caucasian, Asian and Mixed ethnicity living in similar geographic and socio-economic conditions, the prevalence was higher in Caucasian or Mixed than Asian women. These data highlight the need to assess carefully ethnic-dependent differences in the frequency and clinical manifestation of PCOS.
