Abstract

The present study aims at characterizing the nutritional status and food intake of patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). It is a cross-sectional study performed in patients with PCOStreated in secondary health care service by nutrition specialists.socio-demographic information, health profile, anthropometric measurements, biochemical and food intake data were obtained. The study included 54 women with an average age of 31.31 ±5.76 years: 63% were classified as obese at different levels; 74.1% presented cardiovascular risk according to waist-hip ratio, and 90.8% an increased waist circumference. Correlations between insulin resistance, measured by HOMA-IR index, and body mass index (r = 0.729, p = 0.028) were observed. Evaluation of nutritional intake revealed an insufficient amount of calories (73.6%), carbohydrates (54.7%), and micronutrients (calcium, 96.2%; iron, 98.1%). However 71.7% presented an excessive intake of lipids.There was no association between nutritional status, biochemical parameters and food intake (p> 0.05). PCOS patients present a high prevalence of obesity and nutritional inadequacies. Therefore, nutritional intervention strategies constitute important tools as a non-pharmacological treatment.
