Özet

Several factors may contribute to binge eating behaviors in PCOS. However, findings are contradictory and studies in the adolescence are limited. We aimed to evaluate the eating attitudes of adolescents with PCOS and the possible etiological factors underlying the association between PCOS and binge eating symptomology. Between 2019 and 2022, 46 newly diagnosed adolescents with PCOS and 56 controls matched for age and BMI z-score were included. The Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire, Three Factor Eating Questionnaire-R18, and a questionnaire assessing postprandial reactive hypoglycemia symptom severity were given. Binge eating symptomology, in terms of over, uncontrolled, and emotional eating, were more prevalent in the PCOS group. Uncontrolled, emotional, and binge eating were positively correlated with postprandial reactive hypoglycemia symptom score. Overeating was also associated with clinical hyperandrogenism. Improving the disease outcome and reducing the future complications requires early recognition and management of emotional and uncontrolled eating behaviors in adolescents with PCOS.
