Abstract

Sindrom policističnih jajnika (PCOS) predstavlja jedan od najučestalijih metaboličkih poremećaja u žena fertilne dobi. S obzirom da je prva mjera liječenja ovog sindroma promjena životnih navika, što na prvom mjestu podrazumijeva prehrambene navike, te da mediteranska prehrana djeluje blagotvorno na ublažavanje simptoma, ali i prevenciju brojnih poremećaja, cilj ovog rada bio je procijeniti kakvoću prehrane žena s postavljenom dijagnozom PCOS-a u usporedbi s prehranom žena bez sindroma s obzirom na regiju iz koje dolaze, pri čemu je korišten MEDAS (Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener) upitnik kako bi se utvrdilo u kojoj se mjeri ispitanice pridržavaju mediteranskog načina prehrane. Upitnik kreiran u svrhu izrade ovog rada sadržavao je opća pitanja, pitanja koja se vežu uz PCOS te MEDAS upitnik, a distribuiran je pomoću društvenih mreža. Upitnik je valjano ispunilo 515 žena od čega 107 s dijagnozom PCOS. S obzirom na prikupljene podatke može se zaključiti da se ispitanice s postavljenom dijagnozom PCOS, neovisno o regiji iz koje dolaze, manje pridržavaju mediteranskog obrasca prehrane (5,9 ± 1,7 vs 6,0 ± 1,8) iako razlika nije statistički značajna (p=0,649), pri čemu je pridržavanje očekivano veće u ispitanica iz mediteranske regije (p<0,001).

Abstract (english)

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common metabolic disorders in women of reproductive age. Main treatment for this syndrome is lifestyle change with emphasis on dietary habits changes. Mediterranean diet has shown a beneficial effect on relieving symptoms and preventing many disorders accompanying syndrome. The aim of this study was to determine the nutrition quality among women with PCOS compared to the women without the syndrome, using the MEDAS (Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener) questionnaire and with taking into consideration the region of residence. The prepared questionnaire was composed of general questions, questions related to PCOS and the questions from MEDAS questionnaire and were distributed through social networks. The questionnaire was correctly fulfilled by 515 women, 107 of whom were diagnosed with PCOS. Based on the collected data, it can be concluded that women with PCOS, regardless of the region of residence, adhere less to the Mediterranean diet (5.9 ± 1.7 vs 6.0 ± 1.8), although the difference is not statistically significant (p = 0.649). Adherence was expectedly higher among women from the Mediterranean region (p <0.001).
