A retrospective cohort study of 519 women diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome demonstrates that black adolescents and reproductive-aged adults have a higher risk for metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease compared to their white counterparts.
In a large Norwegian population-based cohort study, women with a history of unilateral oophorectomy experienced a slightly earlier onset of menopause compared to women with both ovaries, but this finding does not suggest a clinically important effect.
In this pooled analysis of more than 7700 ovarian cancer patients and nearly 12,000 controls, low-dose aspirin and high-dose non-aspirin NSAID use was associated with a risk reduction for invasive epithelial ovarian cancer of 20-34% relative to non-users. Acetaminophen use was not associated with a risk reduction, irrespective of dose or frequency.
