    The study followed over 1 million Swedish men from age 5 to assess cardiometabolic risks associated with having a sister with PCOS.

    Adjusted hazard ratios indicated that men with a sister with PCOS had a 2.02 times higher risk of obesity and a 1.62 times higher risk of type 2 diabetes.

    In a subcohort of young men, those with a sister with PCOS were more likely to be overweight or obese but did not show elevated blood pressure.
