Abstract

Introduction: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. It is linked to genetic and environmental factors such as nutrition. Insulin resistance is one of the major pathological changes in PCOS. This study aimed to determine the relationship between insulin resistance and macronutrient intake in PCOS subgroups.
Methods: In vitro and clinical studies and completing 168-items PPQ Frequency Questionnaire were conducted for all macronutrients.
Results: There was a significant relationship between HOMA-IR and some dietary components (P<0.05). (Increased calorie in group A, increased total fat intake in group C, lower intake of unsaturated fats (PUFA and MUFA) in group D and higher intake of Saturated Fat (SFA) and protein intake in control group). There was no correlation in subgroup B (ovulatory phenotype).
Conclusion: Due to the significant relationship between insulin resistance and some dietary components in PCOS subtypes, it is recommended to maintain a balance in carbohydrate and fatty acids intake, increasing dietary fiber to improve health parameters in PCOS subjects.
