INTRODUCTION: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a multifactorial endocrine-metabolic disease that requires pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments. The aim of this paper is to review the major evidence about cur-rent lifestyle and dietary approaches to manage this syndrome. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: We include in our research the most relevant publications about lifestyle and diet in PCOS published between 1995 and 2025. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: According to the most recent recommendations, regular physical activity is crucial to amelio-rate hormonal and metabolic parameters as well as to maintain and/or reduce weight in PCOS women. As for the foods, although there is not agreement on a specific diet, low-glycemic index nutrients associated with high fiber intake should be generally preferred in hyperinsulinemic patients. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, suggestions about lifestyle and diet should represent a cornerstone of the personalized multi-step therapy of PCOS. |
