Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age worldwide. In addition to deleterious effects on fertility imparted by PCOS, women with PCOS are at increased risk of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, depression, and certain cancers. Hormonal and metabolic aberrations in PCOS have the potential to influence dietary intake and physical activity levels. There are emerging global data that women with PCOS have different baseline dietary energy intakes compared with women without PCOS. These alterations in diet may exacerbate clinical symptoms and compound risk of chronic disease in patients. Few studies have compared baseline physical activity levels between women with and without PCOS. Although comparisons between studies are confounded by several factors, the data point to no differences in activity levels among PCOS and non-PCOS groups. This review provides an assessment of the current literature on baseline dietary intake and physical activity levels in women with PCOS. Future recommendations to strengthen research in this area are provided, given the implications to aid in the development of effective nutrition-focused interventions for PCOS.

Review Obstetrics & Gynecology

Comparison of dietary and physical activity behaviors in women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 39 471 women

Maryam Kazemi, Joy Y. Kim, Cynthia Wan, Julia D. Xiong, Julia Michalak, Isabella B. Xavier, Kiran Ganga, Chau Thien Tay, Jessica A. Grieger, Stephen A. Parry, Lisa J. Moran, Marla E. Lujan

Summary: This study aimed to explore and compare the dietary and physical activity behaviors between women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and those without PCOS. The findings indicated that women with PCOS had lower overall diet quality, poorer dietary intake (higher cholesterol and lower magnesium and zinc), and lower levels of physical activity compared to women without PCOS. These results highlight the need for targeted interventions to address these lifestyle behaviors in order to manage the complications associated with PCOS.

Summary: Proteomic analysis was conducted to investigate the mechanism of dyslipidemia in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and whether it is related to obesity and insulin resistance (IR) or intrinsic to PCOS. The analysis revealed altered levels of certain proteins associated with lipid metabolism in PCOS women, suggesting increased cardiovascular risk even in the absence of obesity and IR.

Summary: The study found positive correlations between dietary fats and hormone parameters in PCOS and healthy girls, as well as positive correlation between SHBG and protein intake and negative correlation between SHBG and carbohydrate intake. In PCOS patients, an inverse correlation was observed between androgen concentrations and work/school and/or leisure time physical activity.

Incidence and Predictors of Hypertension in a Cohort of Australian Women With and Without Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Summary: This study found a significantly higher incidence of hypertension among women with PCOS compared to those without, especially among obese women. PCOS was independently associated with an increased risk of hypertension, further exacerbated by obesity. Including PCOS in hypertension risk assessments may help in early identification and management of the disorder.

Dietary Modification for Reproductive Health in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Yujie Shang, Huifang Zhou, Ruohan He, Wentian Lu

Summary: This study found that diet is significantly related to improved fertility outcomes, reproductive endocrine, and clinical hyperandrogenism in women with PCOS. Low-carbohydrate diets were more effective in optimizing reproductive outcomes, while calorie restriction was critical in ameliorating hyperandrogenism. The positive effects were associated with the treatment duration, with longer duration leading to greater improvement.

Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Women and Girls With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Summary: Recent research has shown a high prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Women with normal weight can also develop NAFLD. The majority of studies focus on adult, premenopausal women and little attention has been given to young and adolescent women with NAFLD. Future research should include more diverse populations and study the contribution of excess androgens and insulin resistance to NAFLD risk in women with PCOS of varying weights, ages, and ethnicities.

Summary: This study investigated food handling concerns and practices among Chicago residents during the COVID-19 pandemic, and found that food insecure participants were more concerned about COVID-19 foodborne transmission and engaged in unsafe food handling practices more frequently. The results highlight the need for further understanding of barriers to safe food handling knowledge and practices, particularly among those with food insecurity.

Overnight Melatonin Concentration and Sleep Quality Are Associated with the Clinical Features of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Adam T. Evans, Heidi Vanden Brink, Jessica S. Lim, Brittany Y. Jarrett, Annie W. Lin, Marla E. Lujan, Kathleen Hoeger

Summary: Circulating melatonin is elevated in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and altered patterns of melatonin excretion may be associated with reduced sleep quality in these women. This study found that women with PCOS had lower weekend sleep efficiency compared to controls, and the number of follicles per ovary was positively associated with overnight melatonin levels. These findings suggest that PCOS diagnostic features are related to melatonin production and sleep disturbances.

Nabil I. Alshurafa, Tammy K. Stump, Christopher S. Romano, Angela F. Pfammatter, Annie W. Lin, Josiah Hester, Donald Hedeker, Evan Forman, Bonnie Spring

Summary: This study aims to identify automatically detectable features that predict overeating and build clusters of eating episodes based on social and psychological features. It involves a 14-day observational study with 60 obese adults, using sensors and ecological momentary assessments to collect data. Machine learning methods will be applied to analyze the features and generate clusters. This study is expected to provide new insights into the determinants of overeating.

Obesity Status on associations between cancer-related beliefs and health behaviors in cancer survivors: Implications for patient-clinician communication

Annie W. Lin, Sara H. Marchese, Laura E. Finch, Tammy Stump, Kara L. Gavin, Bonnie Spring

Summary: This study explored the associations between cancer beliefs and health behavior engagement in cancer survivors, particularly focusing on those with overweight and obesity. The results showed that engagement in healthier behaviors among survivors with overweight or obesity was related to feeling less overwhelmed by cancer risk recommendations and believing that physical activity or obesity influences cancer development. Additionally, obesity altered the associations between cancer risk beliefs and health behavior engagement in the overall sample.

Roles of Diet-Associated Gut Microbial Metabolites on Brain Health: Cell-to-Cell Interactions between Gut Bacteria and the Central Nervous System

Chong-Su Kim

Summary: The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in brain function through the gut-brain axis. This review highlights the effects of gut microbiota-derived dietary metabolites on cell-to-cell interactions in the central nervous system, particularly microglia, astrocytes, and neuronal cells, affecting cognitive function, mood, and behavior. The review also discusses the potential of diet-induced microbial metabolite-based therapies as novel approaches to mental health treatment.
