Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal disorder affecting women of reproductive age, can be significantly impacted by diet. This study explores the relationship between a diet rich in phytochemicals, measured by the Dietary Phytochemical Index (DPI), and PCOS, along with associated health markers.
Methods: A case-control study design was implemented with 480 individuals diagnosed with PCOS based on the Rotterdam criteria, paired with 480 controls matched in terms of age and BMI.
