“…This suggests the women's QOL, particularly their medical status was related to their obesity. Non-obese women with PCOS were more preoccupied with controlling their eating and body weight; a major feature of women with eating disorders [11].…”

Objective: To compare 'quality of life related to eating and exercise' (QOL ED) in women with and without PCOS who are seeking fertility treatment.Method: Twenty-one women with and 128 women without PCOS aged 20 to 46 years attending IVF clinics in Sydney, Australia participated. Participants completed the QOL ED questionnaire containing six eating disorder subscores and a global score. Multivariate analyses included age and Body Mass Index (BMI) as covariates and logistic regression included current BMI.Results: Women with PCOS had significantly poorer QOL ED global scores and poorer eating behaviour, eating disorder feelings, psychological feelings and acute medical subscores. The total PCOS group was best represented by current BMI and the acute medical subscore. The non-obese PCOS group (BMI 19 to 29.9 kg/m 2 ) was best represented by the eating disorder feelings subscore (reflecting a preoccupation with control of body weight and eating). Women with PCOS were significantly more likely to obtain a QOL ED global score above a non-eating disorder range (total sample 17% versus 8%; non-obese women 44% verses 12%) and a global score consistent with the presence of a current diagnosis of an eating disorder (total group 14.6% versus 2.3%; non-obese 22.2% versus 1.8%). Conclusion:These findings support assessment of disordered eating and lifestyle change as the first-line treatment of women with PCOS irrespective of BMI.

“…he impact of modifiable lifestyle factors such as age, smoking, drinking, caffeine, and weight status on reproductive outcomes is widely known (1,2). Under the rubric of preconception care, however, remains the little investigated topic of eating disorders within a fertility population (3)(4)(5). Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses related to weight and shape concerns, problematic eating behaviors, and maladaptive weight control behaviors that occur in women of childbearing years (6,7).…”

“…In contrast, a Danish cohort study of women who were treated using assisted reproductive technology found a similarly low rate of hospitalization due to eating disorders as that found in the general population (Assens et al, 2015). Although an Australian study involving women undergoing infertility treatment found no global difference in the rate of self-reported eating disorders, it revealed that women with an ovulatory disorder or PCOS scored higher on the eating disorder examination questionnaire (EDE-Q) (Rodino et al, 2016). Disturbance of ovarian function in women with eating disorders is not limited to women with anorexia nervosa but can also be found in women with bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder.…”

Approximately 5 to 10 % of women in their reproductive years are affected by infertility. Infertility in women has been associated with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, disturbed eating behavior, autism, psychotic disorders and autism. Part of the association between depression, anxiety and infertility can be explained by the emotional stress resulting from infertility. As mental disorders like depressive disorder or eating disorders are also prospectively associated with infertility, a bidirectional relationship is assumed. The paper discusses the theories about the mechanistic link between mental disorders and infertility. A special relationship may between mental disorders and the main causes of ovulatory infertility, hypothalamic amenorrhea and polycystic ovary disease. Pilot studies support the assumption that psychotherapy may constitute an important component in the treatment of infertility.
