AbstractObjectiveTo explore the perception on PCOS and its prevalence among adolescent and young women.MethodsThe study was conducted over 2 year period in a tertiary care teaching hospital from Eastern India. A pre-formed, validated questionnaire was used to record the details. Descriptive statistics was used to report the findings.ResultsOf 965 young patients with mean (SD) age 20.64 (2.1) years, 27 (2.79 %) were aware of an entity called PCOS. Awareness among adolescents with PCOS was 25.9 % (7/27). All aware patients belonged to the urban sector with professionals constituting around 48%, of which 11% were students. The major source of information among aware patients was from doctors (40.7%), and friends and Internet (25.9%); rest being from books, newspapers, and teachers. Majority (70%) were aware that diet restriction and exercise were the primary modalities of treatment, whereas, only 3.7% knew about the role of contraceptive pills in PCOS.ConclusionsAwareness regarding PCOS among the young women is very low mainly in the rural set up. Doctors and health staffs should play a major role in spreading awareness of the entity to prevent long term complications.

Background: Despite the excess risk of mortality in young women following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), little effort has been made to describe their long-term outcomes, particularly with respect to their health status (symptoms, function and quality of life). Accordingly, we assessed gender differences in 1-year health status outcomes after AMI. Methods: Data was used from the VIRGO study, an observational cohort of patients aged ≤55 years with AMI in the US and Spain (n=3,501, 67% women). Clinical data was abstracted from medical records and health status was obtained through patient interviews at the time of hospitalization and at 1-year later [Short Form 12 (SF-12) and the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ)]. Patient scores were categorized as “bad” if they had below average scores on the SF-12 components, had a score below 100 on the SAQ physical limitations (PL) or the SAQ angina frequency (AF), or had a score below 75 on the SAQ quality of life (QOL) at either baseline or 1-year. Patients were classified as having a “poor” outcome for a measure if they had a “bad” score at both baseline and 1-year or had a “bad” score at 1-year. Logistic regression models were used to assess factors associated with having a “poor” outcome for each scale. Results: The median age was 48 years (IQR: 44, 52). Women were more likely to present with diabetes (39% vs. 27%), obesity (51% vs. 45%), stroke (5% vs. 2%), heart failure (5% vs. 2%), lung disease (13% vs. 5%), and depression (48% vs. 24%, all P values <0.0001). Women were more likely to have “poor outcomes” compared with men (SF-12 PCS 46% vs. 30%; SF-12 MCS 47% vs. 30%; SAQ AF 32% vs. 25%; SAQ PL 29% vs. 20%; SAQ QOL 42% vs. 28%, all p-values <0.001). Female gender, prior AMI/percutaneous coronary intervention/coronary artery bypass grafting, and smoking within 30 days were independent predictors of having a “poor” outcome for all health status measures. Specifically, women had an increased odds of having a “poor” outcome on the SF-12 PCS (OR=2.05; 95% CI 1.69, 2.48), MCS (OR=1.98; 95% CI 1.65, 2.39), SAQ AF (OR=1.39; 95% CI 1.15, 1.67), SAQ PL (OR=1.62; 95% CI 1.32, 1.99) and the SAQ QOL scale (OR=1.84; 95% CI 1.53, 2.22), as compared with men. Conclusion: Compared with men, young women are more likely to have “poor” health status outcomes after AMI. This information is critically important in developing targets for gender-specific interventions to improve young women’s recovery post AMI.

Cervical cancer is the most common cancer among women. Cervical cancer attacks the female reproductive organs and uterus. Every year thousands of women die from cervical cancer. Poor living habits can also cause outbreaks of cervical cancer, such as smoking, lack of nutrition, long-term use of oral contraceptives, sexual activity that is often among adolescents. The level of knowledge of young women about cervical cancer prevention in the MayjendSutoyo College Foundation Senior High School Medan. World Health Organization (WHO) states, currently cervical cancer is ranked among the various types of cancer that causes death in women in the world. Cervical cancer can be prevented by doing primary prevention and secondary prevention. This type of research is a descriptive study conducted. The population in this study were female students at the MayjendSutoyo College Foundation in Medan. A sample of 39 people were taken in total sampling. Data obtained using a questionnaire. The conclusion of the study is the level of knowledge of young women in the MayjendSutoyo Medan Foundation High School in the prevention of cervical cancer is still in the sufficient category.
