| description | The essential role of the frequent coexistence of mental disorders and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is being increasingly recognized in the management of PCOS patients since it influences the success of weight loss interventions. Patients frequently experience disrupted eating behaviors, evidenced by the high prevalence of eating disorders in this population. Therefore, assessment and potential modification of eating disorders and eating-related behavior might be especially relevant to improve obesity treatment outcomes in this population, which remains the most efficient causal treatment in PCOS patients with high metabolic risk. Following a literature overview on common eating disorders and eating behaviors in PCOS, the aim of this review was to explore the prevalence and underlying mechanisms behind those occurrences. Understanding the clinical relevance of those associations and the addition of the assessments of eating disorders as well as eating phenotypes, eating chronotypes, and eating content as essential determinants of eating behavior could aid in the successful management of women with PCOS. In addition, the review also covers the potential of using eating disorders and eating behavior as a tool for the personalization of obesity treatment in PCOS. |
