Article Synopsis
- * The study determined PCOS diagnoses based on Rotterdam criteria and used a food frequency questionnaire to assess coffee intake, categorizing it as none, less than one cup, one cup, or two or more cups per day.
- * Findings indicated that higher coffee intake was associated with a lower likelihood of having PCOS; women with PCOS were significantly less likely to drink one cup of coffee daily compared to non-drinkers, suggesting coffee may help alleviate PC
Background & Aims: Prenatal folate exposure may alter epigenetic marks in the offspring. We aimed to evaluate associations between prenatal exposure to folic acid (FA) in preconception and in utero with cord blood DNA methylation in long interspersed nuclear element 1 (LINE-1) and Alu short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs) as markers of global DNA methylation levels.
Methods: Data come from 325 mother-child pairs participating in the Nutrition in Early Life and Asthma (NELA) birth cohort (2015-2018).
Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) has a vast and heterogeneous mutational spectrum in Europe. This variability has also been described in Spain, and there are numerous studies linking CFTR variants with the symptoms of the disease. Most of the studies analysed determinate clinical manifestations or specific sequence variants in patients from clinical units.

Design: Case-control study of 276 women between 20 and 35 years old from the Murcia region of Spain. Cases (n = 121) attended the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics of the University Clinical Hospital and were diagnosed with PCOS using Rotterdam criteria. Controls (n = 155) were women without PCOS attending the gynaecological outpatient clinic for routine gynaecological examinations.
Article Synopsis
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder affecting ovarian function, with diet and exercise recommended for treatment, yet the best dietary approach remains unclear.
- A case-control study in Murcia, Spain, involved 126 PCOS patients and 159 controls, using food frequency questionnaires to assess adherence to five dietary quality indices.
- The analysis found an inverse association between the AHEI-2010 diet index and the hyperandrogenism + oligoanovulation PCOS phenotype, suggesting potential dietary influences, but further research with larger sample sizes is needed to confirm findings among different PCOS types.
