Impact of a diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome on diet, physical activity and contraceptive use in young women: Findings from the Australian Longitudinal Study of Women’s Health

Human Reproduction Mar 07, 2020

Copp T, Cvejic E, McCaffery K, et al. - Researchers examined whether and how a diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) influence the diet, physical activity, and contraceptive use. Two waves of data collected 12 months apart from the cohort born 1989–1995 in the Australian Longitudinal Survey on Women’s Health, a population-based cohort study, were longitudinally analyzed. Respondents of the 2014 survey (aged 19–24, n = 11,344) and 2015 survey (aged 20–25, n = 8,961) were included as participants. Women newly diagnosed with PCOS were compared with women not reporting a diagnosis of PCOS for change in vegetable intake, physical activity, and contraceptive use utilizing logistic regression, multinomial logistic regression, and linear regression. The outcomes suggest a higher likelihood of stop contraception use among young women newly diagnosed with PCOS; however, there was no change in their physical activity or vegetable intake.
