Dietary Habit-Induced Gynecologic Disorders in Young Female Students – Lessons from Rodent Experiments

Abstract

Currently, dieting and breakfast deprivation are increasing among young women. We found that breakfast skipping among female students was accompanied by menstrual disorders, while students who had dieted in the past experienced deterioration in menstrual pains after recovery, warning that abnormal eating rhythm in young women may induce obstetric and gynecological disorders in the future. In this capture, we introduce a new concept of adolescent dietary habit-induced obstetric and gynecologic disease (ADHOGD) in female students and also described the rodent experiments using rats and mice, which provided novel evidence that supports this concept especially from the aspect of circadian rhythms.
