| dc.description.abstract | Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is observed in women of reproductive age, which leads to reproductive, hormonal and metabolic abnormalities. The prevalence rate varies from 2.2 to 26 per cent. PCOS happens to be the leading cause of female infertility worldwide. The disease condition is characterised by anovulation, increased male hormones and presence of cysts in the ovaries. Incidence and intensity of the condition corelates with diet and lifestyle. The study aims at assessing the anthropometry, dietary pattern and lifestyle of women with PCOS in comparison to controls along with education intervention for the subjects. Women exhibiting classic PCOS (CP) (anovulation, hyperandrogenism and polycysts in ovaries) and normandrogenic PCOS (NP) (anovulation with polycysts in ovaries) were considered for the study (18 – 25 years). Age matched women without hyperandrogenism and regular menstrual cycles were chosen as control (CN). Structured questionnaire was used to collect data. The dietary pattern revealed relatively low consumption of protein and protective food groups among PCOS subjects compared to control. Weight gain of 4 to 5 kg in 6 months was reported by CP and NP group (42 and 36 per cent respectively). Caffeine consumption was more in women with PCOS and they had sedentary lifestyle with less than 30 min of exercise per day as against control who performed for an hour. Education intervention showed significant increase in knowledge, attitude and practice scores from baseline to 90th day. Nutrition intervention using health mix reduced the follicular count (21 – 22 %). Anthropometric measurements and indices show increased risk factors for non-communicable disease in PCOS women. Hesitation among the public to talk about menstruation still prevails. Hence, there is need for educating the women about uterus health to lead a healthy life and to encourage them to adopt healthy lifestyle. | en_US |
