Overview

Irregular menses may signal underlying cardiovascular disease and diabetes, according to a recent study published in Clinical endocrinology.

Menstrual cycle regularity underpins the diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which is linked to adverse cardio-metabolic profile.

A group of researchers aimed to assess the risk of diabetes and heart disease in women with irregular menstrual cycles and those whose cycles were regular.
