There was a significant relationship only between waist circumference with the prevalence of PCOS. For every one centimeter increase in waist circumference, the odds ratio of developing PCOS increases by 7%. According to the findings of six studies in the present meta-analysis, the prevalence of PCOS is 5.2% (95% CI: 3-8%). Heterogeneity cross studies was highly significant (p <0.01; I 2 =94%). Conclusion: The prevalence of PCOS in adolescents and childbearing age group is not high in Iran.
