“…42 A few studies reported no variation in physical activity levels among PCOS cases and controls, which could be a result of modification in the activity, a learned behaviour, after receiving advice from doctors or healthcare workers. 26,29,43 The results of the present study support the previous findings indicating that unhealthy eating habits such as excess sugar and low protein are important risk factors for PCOS. 23 Crude dietary fibre exhibited a significant protective effect against PCOS.…”

BackgroundPolycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a multifaceted endocrine disorder of women of reproductive age with a multifactorial aetiology. Despite much research, there is still inconclusive data on the impact of dietary, lifestyle and socio‐economic factors on PCOS aetiology. Thus, the present study explored the association of PCOS with diet, eating behaviour, other lifestyle and socio‐economic factors.MethodsA matched‐pair case–control study was conducted on 150 women with PCOS and 150 healthy controls. Information on diet, eating behaviour and physical activity, and also anthropometric and socio‐economic data were collected through standard questionnaires. The adjusted odds ratios (AmOR) were calculated and reported using conditional multivariable logistic regression.ResultsThe results showed low education level (AmOR = 8.44; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.63–43.68), high sugar consumption (AmOR = 11.61; 95% CI = 2.05–65.72) along with higher body mass index (BMI) and inactivity to be significantly associated with PCOS. Also, a significant protective effect was found for cognitive dietary restraint (AmOR = 0.79; 95% CI = 0.66–0.93), crude fibre (AmOR = 0.61; 95% CI = 0.45–0.82) and protein intake.ConclusionsLow education status may contribute to higher receptiveness to choosing unhealthy diets and lifestyles, resulting in adiposity and an increased risk of PCOS.

“…A significant difference was found between cases and controls in performing daily low levels of activity and a dietary intake with vitamin insufficiency. Similarly, in another nested case–control study, women with PCOS were found to be less physically active ( p < 0.05) in their daily lives than healthy controls [ 28 ]. Women with PCOS were found to be less involved in sporting activities and reported to have a sedentary lifestyle, which can further lead to the development of metabolic syndrome [ 29 ].…”

Background Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a reproductive hormonal anomaly prevalent among women of reproductive age, with an alarmingly high prevalence of 52% among Pakistani women. This study aims to compare the daily physical activity and dietary habits of women with PCOS with age-matched healthy controls living in Lahore, Pakistan. Methods A case–control study design was used to collect data from a private hospital situated in Lahore, Pakistan. Data was collected from 115 participants of reproductive age (18–45 years) using a researcher-administered questionnaire. Demographic variables, reproductive characteristics, anthropometric measurements, and seven days of physical activity levels using the international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ-Short version) and seven days of dietary intake using the food frequency questionnaire (7 days-FFQ) were used to measure the dietary habits of the participants. Mosby’s Nutritac v4.0 software was used to estimate the macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals present in dietary intake. The glycaemic index and glycaemic load were calculated to compare the quality and quantity of carbohydrate consumption between the two groups. Results The 49 PCOS cases, newly identified using the Rotterdam criteria, mean age 24.63 years (SD ± 4.76), and 66 healthy controls, mean age 23.24 years (SD ± 5.45), were compared. A significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) was found for reproductive characteristics, daily physical activity, and polyunsaturated fat and vitamin intake between the two groups. A binary logistic regression analysis showed that food with a low glycaemic index (GI ≤ 40) reduced the odds of PCOS occurrence by OR = 1.94. Similarly, food nutrients with a low glycaemic load (GL ≤ 10) can reduce PCOS occurrence by OR = 1.60. Conclusion The daily physical activity levels and dietary habits of women of reproductive age can influence their reproductive characteristics and polycystic ovarian morphology. A diet with a low glycaemic load and index can produce beneficial reproductive health effects among women of reproductive age.

“…Currently, it is well accepted that adequate calorie restriction improves human health [5][6][7], whereas excess dieting is also known to induce several gynecological disorders such as dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation [8,9]. It was also reported that dietary behaviors are closely related to the onset or management of polycystic ovary syndrome [10,11] and hypothalamic amenorrhea [12,13], suggesting the close relationship between gynecological disorders and dietary habits [14]. Furthermore, it was proposed that gynecologic diseases such as endometriosis, which are frequently manifested by dysmenorrhea, can latently develop with a common modern dietary lifestyle [15].…”

Adolescent Dietary Habit-induced Obstetric and Gynecologic Disease (ADHOGD) as a New Hypothesis—Possible Involvement of Clock System

et al. 2020

There are growing concerns that poor dietary behaviors at young ages will increase the future risk of chronic diseases in adulthood. We found that female college students who skipped breakfast had higher incidences of dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation, suggesting that meal skipping affects ovarian and uterine functions. Since dysmenorrhea is more prevalent in those with a past history of dieting, we proposed a novel concept that inadequate dietary habits in adolescence become a trigger for the subsequent development of organic gynecologic diseases. Since inadequate feeding that was limited during the non-active phase impaired reproductive functions in post-adolescent female rats, we hypothesize that circadian rhythm disorders due to breakfast skipping disrupts the hypothalamic–pituitary–ovarian axis, impairs the reproductive rhythm, and leads to ovarian and uterine dysfunction. To explain how reproductive dysfunction is memorized from adolescence to adulthood, we hypothesize that the peripheral clock system also plays a critical role in the latent progression of reproductive diseases together with the central system, and propose naming this concept “adolescent dietary habit-induced obstetric and gynecologic disease (ADHOGD)”. This theory will contribute to analyzing the etiologies of and developing prophylaxes for female reproductive diseases from novel aspects. In this article, we describe the precise outline of the above hypotheses with the supporting evidence in the literature.

Effects of exercise and dietary habits on the occurrence of polycystic ovary syndrome over 5 years of follow‐up

Abstract: Previous exercise habits were associated with subsequent PCOS whereas a recently acquired exercise routine was not. Women should avoid long-term sedentary lifestyle habits and focus on adding to the duration of, or enhancing the intensity of, physical activity.
