Description
Fen Yang and ten co-authors follow nearly seven million Scandinavian children to ask whether a mother's polycystic ovary syndrome raises her child's heart disease risk. Their 2024 register study covers births in Denmark and Sweden from 1973 onward, followed for up to 48 years. Children of affected mothers were already known to carry more risk factors; actual disease was the open question.
Offspring of mothers with the syndrome faced higher rates of cardiovascular disease overall and across several subtypes, even after accounting for the mother's related conditions. A cousin comparison, which strips out much shared family background, did not explain the finding away. The authors stop short of claiming the syndrome itself is the cause. If the link replicates, they argue, these children deserve early prevention attention.
