Abstract

BACKGROUND

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) affects 8-13% of females. US population-based research on PCOS limited. We compare PCOS knowledge and describe common PCOS symptoms in those with and without PCOS.

METHODS

An internet panel survey of 382 (200 with PCOS) US females 18-30 years was administered. PCOS knowledge was assessed using 20 items classified as correct or incorrect summed to create a knowledge score. Respondents reported experience of each of 8 common PCOS symptoms. Body image and depression were assessed using the Body Image Measurement Scale and PHQ-9.

RESULTS

The sample had a mean age of 26.2 years and was majority White, non-Hispanic (76.0%). Those with PCOS demonstrated better PCOS knowledge (mean score 10.7 vs. 9.8; = 0.029) and were more likely to identify the cardiometabolic sequelae than those without PCOS. More than 50% of respondents with PCOS reported each of the common symptoms. Those with PCOS reported significantly poorer body image (mean 3.71 vs. 3.31; < .0001) and higher depression symptoms (mean 14.88 vs. 10.69; < .0001).

CONCLUSION

This study adds to the relatively small body of research on PCOS conducted among US females and highlights that knowledge about PCOS in US young adult females is low, regardless of PCOS status.

摘要

背景

多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）影响8% - 13%的女性。美国基于人群的PCOS研究有限。我们比较了对PCOS的认知情况，并描述了患有和未患有PCOS的人群中常见的PCOS症状。

方法

对382名年龄在18 - 30岁的美国女性（其中200名患有PCOS）进行了一项网络小组调查。使用20个分为正确或错误的项目评估PCOS知识，将其得分相加得出知识分数。受访者报告了8种常见PCOS症状的经历。使用身体形象测量量表和PHQ - 9评估身体形象和抑郁情况。

结果

样本的平均年龄为26.2岁，大多数为白人、非西班牙裔（76.0%）。患有PCOS的人表现出更好的PCOS知识（平均得分10.7对9.8；P = 0.029），并且比未患有PCOS的人更有可能识别出心脏代谢后遗症。超过50%的患有PCOS的受访者报告了每种常见症状。患有PCOS的人报告的身体形象明显更差（平均3.71对3.31；P <.0001），抑郁症状更高（平均14.88对10.69；P <.0001）。
