Abstract
About this talk
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy affecting reproductive-aged women, with impacts across the lifespan from adolescence to post-menopause. The quality of diet is very important in the prevention and treatment strategy PCOS. Any changes in diet and physical exercise, are recommended as both preventive treatment against complications and as a therapeutic strategy to treat PCOS in women to improve metabolic and hormonal profiles. However, the most effective lifestyle intervention strategy is still not recognized.
The studies of our research group demonstrated that nutritional habits in PCOS girls differ unfavorably from those of their healthy peers, with a higher content of fats, cholesterol, and sugars and a lower content of fiber. Additionally, the AIDiet intervention, conducted by our research group, effectively improved the quality of the subjects’ diets, which was associated with the improvement of hormonal and immuno-metabolic markers.
Audience Take Away:
- The audience will learn about the possible lifestyle intervention strategies in PCOS adolescents. Moreover, about the use of AIDiet in their therapy, and the anti-inflammatory potential of AIDiet.
