Aims: The aim of this study was to define the incidence of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in young women and the affecting characteristics. In this study, environmental factors and demographic characteristics of women with PCOS were compared with the control group, which included healthy young women. Methods: This is a retrospective study with control in young women aged 18-25, suffering from PCOS and healthy women, referred to our clinic between September 2018- August 2020. Women's socio-demographic characteristics such as age, weight, height, economic status, employment status, education status, smoking and alcohol abuse, chronic disease, exercise status, family history of cancer, and menstrual irregularity of participants were compared. Results: Results did not show a statistically significant association between case and control regarding age, economic status, education status, family history of cancer, smoking and alcohol abuse (p>0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between groups regarding menstrual irregularity, chronic disease, body mass index (BMI), exercise and working status (p<0.05). Healthy women exercise more, and a higher percentage of them are employed. Chronic diseases were more common in women with PCOS. Women with PCOS were fatter and had more menstrual irregularities problems. Conclusion: BMI, working status, exercise status, menstrual irregularity, and chronic disease status helped diagnose PCOS in young women.
