Abstract: (416 Views)
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women, affecting 4 to 20% of women worldwide. Pharmacological treatment and lifestyle modification are used to manage PCOS. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between animal and vegetable fat consumption and polycystic ovary syndrome.
Methods: This case-control study included 64 healthy women and 64 women with PCOS. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, a 168-item food frequency questionnaire, a scale, and a stadiometer. The amount of fat intake was determined using Nutritionist 4 software. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 27 software. Chi-square test, comparison of means, and logistic regression test were used to analyze the data.
Results: Participants showed no significant difference in employment status, marital status, age, body mass index, education level, height, and weight. Consumption of animal fat (P-value= 0.09) and vegetable fat (P-value= 0.001) was higher in the case group, but this difference was only significant for vegetable fat. Consumption of some animal fats, including butter (P-value>0.001), tallow (P-value>0.001), and cream (P-value=0.021), was significantly higher in the case group than in the control group. Logistic regression results showed that vegetable fats, butter, and tallow consumption was associated with a higher risk of PCOs.
Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, the consumption of vegetable fats and some animal fats was higher in the case group than in the control group, so a balanced fat consumption may be effective in improving the health status of women with PCOS.
