ABSTRACT

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is a complicated female disorder worldwide. Researchers conducted a quantitative study to examine multiple environmental determinants contributing to its symptoms severity. Data of 150 PCOS diagnosed women (16 to 45 years) was gathered from private clinics and hospitals of Lahore, Pakistan. Chi-square, spearman’s correlation, and linear regression tests were run. Chicken, fast food and spicy food intake were found to be the significant predictors of PCOS severity (F (1, 148) = 6.903, p = 0.01), (F (1, 148) = 11.400, p = 0.001), and (F (1, 148) = 4.525, p = 0.035) respectively. We also found significant relationships of sedentary lifestyle (p = .034) & BMI (p = 0.025) with PCOS symptoms severity. However, relationship of socioeconomic status (SES) was non-significant with the disease severity. These determinants will direct healthcare professionals in proper management and counseling of PCOS women thus improving their life quality.

摘要

多囊卵巢综合征是一种世界范围内的复杂女性疾病。研究人员进行了一项定量研究，以检查导致其症状严重程度的多种环境决定因素。从巴基斯坦拉合尔的私人诊所和医院收集了 150 名诊断为 PCOS 的女性（16 至 45 岁）的数据。运行卡方、斯皮尔曼相关性和线性回归测试。鸡肉、快餐和辛辣食物的摄入量被发现是 PCOS 严重程度的重要预测因子 (F (1, 148) = 6.903, p  = 0.01), (F (1, 148) = 11.400, p  = 0.001) 和 ( F (1, 148) = 4.525, p  = 0.035)。我们还发现久坐生活方式 ( p = .034) 和 BMI ( p = 0.025) 伴有 PCOS 症状严重程度。然而，社会经济地位（SES）与疾病严重程度的关系并不显着。这些决定因素将指导医疗保健专业人员对 PCOS 女性进行适当的管理和咨询，从而提高她们的生活质量。
