Increased odds of disordered eating in polycystic ovary syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Open accessAbstract
Purpose We aimed to identify the risk of eating disorders (ED) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) compared to controls.Methods We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies that included women with well-defined PCOS and controls and used validated ED screening/diagnostic tools to measure mean ED score, prevalence of abnormal ED scores, and/or prevalence of specific ED diagnoses such as bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder.Results Eight studies, including 470 women with PCOS and 390 controls, met inclusion criteria for the systematic review. Meta-analysis of seven of those studies found that the odds of an abnormal ED score (OR 3.05; 95% CI 1.33, 6.99; four studies) and the odds of any ED diagnosis (OR 3.87; 95% CI 1.43, 10.49; four studies) were higher in women with PCOS compared to controls.Conclusions Our study suggests that women with PCOS are at increased odds of having abnormal ED scores and specific ED diagnoses. Given the potential implications of an ED on weight management strategies, our findings support routine screening for ED in this population.Level of evidence Level I, systematic review and meta-analysis.

In case-control studies, the prevalence of an eating disorder in PCOS ranges from 11% to 62%.
“and in case control studies, the prevalence of an eating disorder has been reported to range from 11% to 62%.132, 133, 134, 135, 136”

The Introduction (page unavailable) says small studies found a 12–35% prevalence of disordered eating among women with PCOS, not an 11–62% prevalence of eating disorders. It explicitly distinguishes a positive disordered-eating screening result from an eating-disorder diagnosis. The Results (page unavailable) examine PCOS and control groups but do not report the claimed range. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
