Description
Sivaranjani P and Aprajita A present a 2026 study on lifestyle care for women with polycystic ovary syndrome. The condition is a common hormone disorder tied to weight gain, irregular cycles, and long-term metabolic risk. Diet and activity changes are a first line of care, yet many women never get dietetic support.
The team surveyed 169 women aged 18 to 40 at a hospital clinic over three months. A structured questionnaire covered symptoms, eating habits, activity, and the forces that help or hinder change. The median age was 28 and the median body mass index was 26. About 72 percent had not lost weight, while about 28 percent lost at least five kilograms. Mood and other barriers shaped who succeeded.
