dc.description.abstract | Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder in women, characterized by hormonal imbalances and metabolic disturbances. Lifestyle modifications, including weight loss, are crucial for the management of PCOS symptoms. Mobile applications have emerged as promising tools to support lifestyle modifications. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-week integrated lifestyle modification program, which used a mobile application, among overweight women with PCOS. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 28 participants, who were assigned to either treatment group, which received a 12-week lifestyle modification program facilitated by a mobile application, or the control group, who were instructed to maintain their usual lifestyle and received an evidence-based leaflet containing information on PCOS. The primary outcome measure was a change in weight over 12 weeks. Insulin resistance, levels of sex hormones, hirsutism, acne, and depressive symptoms were measured as secondary outcomes. The results showed significant weight loss in the treatment group compared to the control group (3.19 vs. 0.79 kg; p < 0.05). Similarly, significant improvements were observed across time in postprandial insulin levels (22.25 vs. 9.29 & mu;IU/mL), hirsutism (2.98 vs. -0.16 points), and depression (7.73 vs. 1.7 points) (p < 0.05) between the two groups. This study highlights the potential benefits of using a mobile application to support lifestyle modifications, including weight loss and improvement in depressive symptoms, in overweight women with PCOS. Further research is needed to explore the long-term effects and incorporation of advanced technologies to enhance PCOS management outcomes. Mobile applications for lifestyle modifications offer a promising avenue for addressing the unique challenges faced by women with PCOS and provide accessible and personalized support for their health needs. | - |
