Abstract

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disease in reproductive age women. The present study aimed to determine the effects of Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet on reproductive hormones, plasma total antioxidant status and anthropometric indices in overweight and obese PCOS women. Methods: In this randomised controlled clinical trial, 60 women with PCOS were randomly assigned to one of two diets with energy restriction: the DASH diet and a control diet. The DASH and control diets consisted of 50–55% carbohydrate, 15–20% protein and 25–30% total fat. The DASH diet was designed to be rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains and low‐fat dairy products, as well as low in saturated fats, cholesterol, refined grains and sweets. In the present study, the anthropometric indices, body composition, total testosterone, androstenedione, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), free androgen index and 2,2′‐diphenyl‐1‐picryylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity were measured before and after 3 months. Results: The consumption of DASH diet compared to the control diet was associated with a significant reduction in weight [−5.78 (1.91) kg versus −4.34 (2.87) kg, P = 0.032], body mass index (BMI) [−2.29 (0.15) kg m–2 versus −1.69 (0.20) kg m–2, P = 0.02], fat mass [−3.23(1.66) kg versus −2.13 (1.26) kg, P = 0.008] and serum androstenedione [−1.75 (1.39) ng mL–1 versus −1.02 (0.72) ng mL–1, P‐value = 0.019]. Increased concentrations of SHBG [28.80 (21.71) versus 11.66(18.82) nmol L–1, P = 0.003) and DPPH scavenging activity [30.23% (19.09) versus 12.97% (25.12) were also found in the DASH group. Conclusions: The DASH diet could improve weight loss, BMI and fat mass. Furthermore, it could result in a significant reduction in serum androstenedione and a significant increase in antioxidant status and SHBG.

  • Four trials mentioning trial registration were considered to have a low risk of reporting bias.

    “Four trials mentioning trial registration (37, 38, 41, 42) were considered to have a low risk of reporting bias (Fig. 2).”
  • Five studies (227 participants) reported changes in waist circumference.

    “In total, 5 studies (227 participants) mentioned the changes in WC (32, 35, 39, 41, 45).”
  • Three trials (108 participants) analyzed waist-to-hip ratio, and no significant changes were observed (MD = -0.01, 95% CI -0.02 to 0.00; P = .20; I2 = 0%).

    “Three trials (108 participants) were involved in the analysis (32, 35, 41), and no significant changes were observed (MD = –0.01, 95% CI –0.02 to 0.00; P = .20; I2 = 0%) (Fig. 3).”
  • Several studies demonstrated that the DASH diet had beneficial effects on markers of insulin resistance, inflammation, oxidative stress, and on hormonal profile (reduced androgens, anti-Müllerian hormone).

    “In fact, several studies demonstrated that DASH diet had beneficial effect on markers of IR, inflammation, oxidative stress, and on hormonal profile (reduced androgens, anti-Müllerian hormone) [34–37].”

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.
