Health-Related Quality of Life in Adolescents and Young Adults with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Systematic Review

PCOS significantly reduces HRQoL in adolescent girls. The extent to which body weight issues and BMI mediate this effect deserves further evaluation. A detailed understanding of the psychosocial challenges that patients with PCOS face is limited, mainly because of the small number of studies available, restricted sample size, and the methodological diversity of the questionnaires used. The effect of early lifestyle modification, and medical and psychological treatment should continue to be explored.
