Prevalence and influencing factors analysis of the polycystic ovary syndrome among female college students in Fuzhou City,Jiangxi Province
[Objective]To investigate the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)among female college students at a university in Fuzhou City,Jiangxi Province,and to facilitate early detection and intervention of PCOS.[Methods]Using a stratified sampling method,a total of 450 female freshmen were randomly selected for PCOS screening.A self-designed questionnaire was used for data collection,covering menstrual status,high androgen signs,lifestyle,dietary habits,and awareness of PCOS.Sample t test and χ2 test were used to compare the basic information and dietary habits between PCOS and non-PCOS cases.The correlation between various indicators and the prevalence of PCOS was analyzed by a logistic regression model.[Results]A total of 12 PCOS cases were identified,with a prevalence rate of 2.99%.PCOS cases exhibited statistically significant differences compared to non-PCOS cases in terms of waist-to-hip ratio,waist circumference,abdominal obesity,the proportion of overweight or obese individuals,and a preference for sweet food(all P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed a significant correlation between preference for sweet food and the occurrence of PCOS(OR=4.858,95%CI=1.199-19.675,P=0.027),as well as a significant correlation with PCOS accompanied by abdominal obesity(OR=7.083,95%CI=0.773-64.937,P=0.048).Among the female college students surveyed,37.90%had never heard of PCOS,51.62%were only familiar with the name of the disease,and 10.47%had attempted to search for PCOS-related information.[Conclusion]The prevalence of PCOS among female college students should not be overlooked and unhealthy dietary habits may be a crucial factor contributing to the occurrence of PCOS during this period.Early screening for PCOS during puberty is crucial.
