- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common reproductive health issue in women linked to obesity, and this study explores the relationship between diet (measured by the Dietary Obesity Prevention Score or DOS) and PCOS for the first time.
- The study involved 100 women with PCOS and 100 without, measuring their dietary habits, blood markers, and body measurements to assess the impact of DOS on health outcomes.
- Results showed that higher adherence to DOS was associated with lower inflammation levels (CRP) and marginally higher fasting blood sugar, but no significant direct link between DOS and PCOS risk was found.
