Abstract

This thesis presents a population-based study framework for assessing PCOS prevalence and clinical–endocrine phenotypes in iodine-deficient regions. It integrates WHO-recommended iodine status indicators with adolescent-appropriate PCOS diagnostics, proposes practical sampling and measurement strategies, and outlines analytic approaches to disentangle associations among iodine nutrition, thyroid dysfunction, menstrual irregularities, and PCOS risk without inflating prevalence through pubertal overlap.
