ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Polycystic 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.METHODS:
A 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.RESULTS:
The 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.CONCLUSIONS:
Low education status may contribute to higher receptiveness to choosing unhealthy diets and lifestyles, resulting in adiposity and an increased risk of PCOS.Palabras clave
