da Cunha NB, et al. - In women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), researchers assessed dietary patterns and how they were possibly related with metabolism and body composition by analyzing data of 39 women diagnosed with PCOS and 35 control women, matched by age and body mass index. Dietary intake was not significantly different in women with or without PCOS. As per data, PCOS women exhibited an inverse association between dietetic fiber intake and Homeostasis Model Assessment-estimated Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) index, as well as total body fat, trunk fat, and android fat in the analysis of the associations between dietary intake, metabolic parameters and body composition. Compared to women without PCOS, those with PCOS group had higher glucose 120’. The results obtained from the case-control study indicate that the satisfactory intake of dietary fiber aids in achieving more appropriate body composition and glucose metabolism in PCOS women and may possibly help prevent chronic non-communicable diseases.
