AI summary — for doctors, generated from the abstract only
A Pakistani cross-sectional survey of PMOS patients examined diet, activity and stress by severity, but the abstract's results are cut off.
What was studied
Cross-sectional study of 384 PMOS patients in Lahore using convenience sampling, a self-structured questionnaire and Kruskal-Wallis tests.
Key findings
- The abstract's results are truncated after weight, so no findings can be quoted
- The conclusion proposes healthy diet, activity, optimal weight and stress reduction
Clinical relevance
Lifestyle measures are plausibly relevant to PMOS, but this abstract does not show how strongly.
Who should care
Limitations
Truncated results, convenience sampling, unvalidated self-structured questionnaire and cross-sectional design.
Cannot be judged from the abstract; lifestyle conclusions are not demonstrated here.

Abstract
AIM
Polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) is a common endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age. It is associated with various lifestyle and psychological factors. The research aims to evaluate the impact of dietary patterns, physical activity, and stress levels on the severity of PMOS.
METHODS
The current study used a cross-sectional study design, and data were collected from 384 PMOS patients attending selected healthcare facilities in Lahore. Participants were recruited through a non-probability convenience sampling. Data were collected using a self-structured questionnaire. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to assess the differences in dietary patterns, physical activity, and stress levels across PMOS severity groups. Statistical significance was considered at p < 0.05.
RESULTS
In present research, weight (p < 0.001) and family history (p = 0.001) were significantly associated with PMOS severity among all the sociodemographic characteristics. On evaluating the PMOS patients on DASS 21, highest proportion of responses was observed in category 1, ranging from 37.2% to 52.6%, with the item "I felt I wasn't worth much as a person" showing the highest percentage (52.6%). Our findings also demonstrate the moderated level of psychological load on participants. Overall, dietary pattern (p < 0.017). Physical activity (p < 0.001) and stress levels (p < 0.012) were found to be significantly associated with severity of PMOS.
CONCLUSION
These findings emphasize the importance of adopting healthy dietary habits, engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining an optimal body weight, and implementing effective stress-reduction strategies may help alleviate symptoms, enhance quality of life, improve psychological well-being, and reduce the long-term complications associated with PMOS in women.
