Insulin resistance causes polycystic ovary syndrome in women.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that insulin resistance causes polycystic ovary syndrome in women?

Partly. Evidence is mixed and only partial: one review calls insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia key features in PCOS pathogenesis, and a Bahraini case-control study found hyperinsulinemia independently associated with PCOS, while a molecular review states that defective insulin activity in PCOS causes insulin resistance, reversing the proposed direction. No retrieved source settles whether insulin resistance causes PCOS.
