Abstract

Objective: To compare dietary intake of women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) for investigating the relationship between dietary intake and PCOS. Methods & Materials: Design: A case control study. Setting: Outpatient of gynecological endocrinology department in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai, China. Patient(s): 47 women with PCOS and 42 age-matched control women were investigated. Eighty nine women visiting the outpatient of gynecological endocrinology were received evaluation of anthropometry, B ultrasound examination and sex hormone. Dietary intake was collected from a food questionnaire and 24-hour recalls. Associations between nutrients and features of PCOS were analyzed using multiple linear regression and analysis of covariance. Results: (1) Compare with normal women, women with PCOS had a higher BMI (25.5±5.4 VS 20.8±2.7, P<0.001), their intake of carbon-hydrate (P<0.05) and fat (P<0.05) were higher and their intakes of protein as a proportion of energy was significantly lower (P<0.05). (2)There were positive correlations between BMI and calories intake and lipid, but negative correlations between BMI and the ratio of protein in the diet intake (r＝-0.361, P<0.05). (3) Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that BMI was passively associated with the amount of fat and negatively associated with the ratio of protein in diet in 24 h (both P<0.001). Conclusion(s): The statistical differences exist in the nutritional composition and calories of PCOS patient’s diets intake, which may contribute to development and clinical features of PCOS.
