“…FEV1 % predicted as well as FVC % predicted were lower in the PCOS group compared to controls, suggesting a combined obstructive and restrictive respiratory impairment in women with PCOS. We are aware of only one other study reporting spirometry measurements in PCOS: Ucok et al found no difference in respiratory function comparing 31 women with PCOS to age and BMI-matched controls (34).…”
