“…[64][65][66][67] In some studies, however, undiagnosed OSA syndrome as well as underestimation of true prevalence of OSA in women with PCOS may occur when ruling out the presence of OSA based on self-reported absence of snoring and daytime sleepiness. 42,53,[77][78][79] Indeed, the wide variations in prevalence of OSA in previous studies were partly related to clinic-based participants with relatively small sample sizes, differences in study populations, and inclusion of mostly higher weight women with PCOS. Together, these limitations from prevalence studies affect the ability to establish cause-effect relationships between PCOS and OSA.…”

“…110,111 Insomnia is also relatively more prevalent in women with PCOS compared with healthy controls. 77,112 For example, Franik et al reported clinically significant insomnia to occur more often in women with PCOS than in controls according to both Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS: 12.6 vs. 3.2%) and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI: 10.5 vs. 1.1%). 112 Circadian rhythm disorders or circadian misalignment, where one's body's internal clock is misaligned with the environment, can manifest as an advanced, delayed, or non-24 hours (i.e., free running circadian phase).…”

“…124 Only one study reported higher RLS prevalence in women with PCOS (23.3% out of n ¼ 73) in conjunction with higher PSQI, ESS, ISI, and BQ scores, compared with controls. 77 Knowledge gaps exist with regard to other types of sleep problems related to PCOS risk. Over the last two decades, the majority of observational studies that investigated the prevalence of sleep problems in reproductive-aged women with PCOS were from cohort or case-control studies and only two were longitudinal studies.…”

“…Out of these studies, n ¼ 10 examined the presence of OSA, SDB, or sleep apnea only, 63,[65][66][67]72,73,78,79,82,125 while others (n ¼ 13) have included sleep disorders such as insomnia, circadian rhythm disorders, and/or sleep disturbances like EDS. 37,38,61,62,64,70,[74][75][76][77]112,117,119 Eight studies focused on examining sleep disturbances (i.e., sleep difficulties, short sleep, and/or poor sleep quality), but not clinical sleep disorders in PCOS. [25][26][27][28][29][126][127][128] To date, nine studies based on three study cohorts have investigated PCOS with sleep problems specific to adolescent girls.…”

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition with reproductive, metabolic, and psychological sequelae that affects 8 to 13% of reproductive-aged women and 3 to 11% of adolescent girls. Sleep is often compromised in women with PCOS due to increased rates of sleep problems, with the most established problem being obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA is highly prevalent in reproductive-aged adult women with PCOS, but not so in adolescence. The international evidence-based PCOS guideline to improve health outcomes in women with PCOS indicated routine screening to identify and alleviate symptoms of OSA. The guidelines, however, did not weigh other multidimensional constructs of sleep health such as sleep disturbances (e.g., sleep quality and quantity), beyond OSA. This is perhaps due to the lack of research and existing mixed findings in the area of PCOS and sleep health. This narrative review summarizes the current knowledge about OSA and expands further to include the limited knowledge about other sleep problems in PCOS among reproductive-aged women and adolescent girls. We broadly cover the prevalence, risk factors, and mechanisms of sleep problems in PCOS and their relationship with cardiometabolic and psychological health. A brief summary on treatment and intervention strategies for sleep problems in PCOS and future recommendations will be deliberated.

Purpose To determine depression symptoms and quality of life in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods The data were collected using the Participant Information Form, PCOS Quality of Life Questionnaire (PCOSQ‐50), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The study was conducted with 131 women. Findings The average BDI score was found to be lower in women with PCOS who perceived their income as sufficient (p = 0.033) and who worked (p = 0.003) and was found to be higher in the participants who had hirsutism (p = 0.008) and acne (p = 0.045). The PCOSQ‐50 average score was 178.15 ± 27.27 in women without depression symptoms and 139.14 ± 31.33 in women with depression symptoms. The PCOSQ‐50 total score was higher in women without depressive symptoms (p = 0.000). Practice Implications Healthcare professionals should evaluate depression symptom levels using standard measurement tools and provide appropriate counseling.
