Evaluation of the Effect of Time-Restricted Feeding and Mediterranean Diet Model in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Summary

Currently, there is still insufficient data to support the long-term efficacy, safety, and health benefits of time-restricted feeding models in women diagnosed with Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and further studies are needed to test and validate the effects of long-term dietary management in PCOS. On the other hand, similarly, studies investigating the effects of the Mediterranean Diet on body composition and dietary intake in women with PCOS are limited. The primary aim of this research is to examine the effect of time-restricted feeding and the Mediterranean diet model on body composition and dietary intake in adult women diagnosed with PCOS. The secondary aim is to evaluate the effect of different dietary models on quality of life in women diagnosed with PCOS.
