A comparative study of knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) and dietary pattern between healthy reproductive women and women with PCOS in Imphal, Manipur
Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders and metabolic heterogeneous disorders among reproductive-aged women, with likely genetic origin influenced by environmental factors including diet, lifestyle and social status. There may be reproductive complications such as infertility, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, endometrial cancer and late age at menopause due to PCOS. Therefore, a cross-sectional study was conducted among 160 reproductive age group women (80 women suffering from PCOS and healthy women) residing in Manipur systematically sampled from four hospitals i.e. Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences (JNIMS), Maipakpi Maternity and Child Hospital, National Charitable hospital, Hillside Charitable Hospital and Research Institute to obtain information about sign and symptoms, risk factor, KAP and dietary pattern. Structured questionnaires, key informant interviews and focus group discussions were used to collect data. A nutrition knowledge score was determined (correct response: 1, incorrect: 0). Overall knowledge level was the total of correct responses in percentages. Scores of ≤40 %, 41–69 % and ≥70 % were categorized as low, moderate and high knowledge respectively. Data were analyzed using SPSS. P-value of p < 0.05 was considered significant. The results of the study suggest that PCOS is linked to an increase in calorie and saturated fat intake and that obese or overweight woman are more likely to develop PCOS. The first line of treatment for PCOS patients should be lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet and regular exercise.
