“…27 One crosssectional study including 120 participants reported that QoL in adolescent girls with PCOS was moderately reduced, as outlined by the questionnaire scoring classification. 26 Meanwhile Trent et al 24,25 showed in two cross-sectional studies that QoL was reduced in adolescent girls with PCOS and these studies included a large number of adolescent girls with PCOS (n = 97). Adolescent girls with PCOS each scored lower in all domains of healthrelated QoL assessments when compared to healthy adolescent girls of a similar age range.…”

“…In all studies, adolescent girls completed the QoL questionnaires. Studies used different criteria for the diagnosis of PCOS and all but one study 26 did not report the age of menarche, which is an important factor to define menstrual irregularity in adolescents. The study characteristics are outlined in Table 1.…”

“…Two cross‐sectional studies reported no difference between the QoL in adolescent girls with PCOS when compared to matched healthy controls 27,28 ; however, these studies included a relatively small number of PCOS subjects ( n = 28 and n = 17) and one of them did not specify diagnosis criteria for PCOS 27 . One cross‐sectional study including 120 participants reported that QoL in adolescent girls with PCOS was moderately reduced, as outlined by the questionnaire scoring classification 26 . Meanwhile Trent et al 24,25 .…”

“…12,13 An additional limitation of this review was the fact that the studies used multiple diagnostic criteria to diagnose the adolescent girls with PCOS, two studies did not specify diagnostic criteria and only one study reported on age of menarche, which is an important factor to determine menstrual irregularity (one of the diagnostic criteria for PCOS). Despite this, most of the studies (n = 6) used commonly accepted criteria, including menstrual irregularity and hyperandrogenism, 24,25,28,29,31,34 and only three studies 26,30,33 used Rotterdam criteria, 6 including pelvic ultrasound, which is no longer recommended for diagnosis of PCOS until 8 years post-menarche. Research including larger sample sizes of better-defined populations, as recently described, is required in adolescent girls with PCOS, but further research in the area of emotional well-being is also required.…”

Quality of life (QoL) is an important aspect of health and well‐being. QoL is reduced in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but there is limited data in adolescents. This review aimed to assess studies regarding the QoL of adolescent girls with PCOS. Five databases were searched for relevant studies. Studies were included if they were conducted in adolescent girls with PCOS, aged 12–22 years old, and used a questionnaire to measure QoL. The search identified a total of 254 studies, and after exclusions, 11 relevant studies were included in the review. Most studies had a relatively small sample size, but overall included a total of 512 adolescents with PCOS. In most cases, adolescent girls with PCOS have reduced QoL when compared to healthy girls, and PCOS symptoms/excess weight impact on their QoL. Further research is required due to limited data on QoL in adolescents with PCOS of normal weight.

“…Murshid's (2017) investigation of the association between social support networks, as measured by parental involvement and close friendships, and depression among adolescents in South Asia demonstrated that social support was a social determinant of adolescent mental health. Stronger social support can result in children experiencing less anxiety, behavioral problems, and depressive symptoms (Alsubaie et al 2019;Saei Ghare Naz et al 2020). On the other hand, less social support negatively affects the levels of resilience, which is important in preventing depressive symptoms.…”

Social Connection and Self-perceived Depression Among Adolescents: A Path Analytic Model for Abu Dhabi

et al. 2021

We examined how family and friendship connections of adolescents (15–19 years old) interrelate and how these interactions affect their self-perceived depression and stress. The data were collected through the Abu Dhabi Quality of Life Survey in 2018, which was completed by more than 51,000 respondents. Nine hundred and fifty-eight out of 3356 adolescents in the survey self-identified themselves as depressed. We developed a structural equation path model to explicate the relationships among the variables hypothesized to affect adolescents’ self-reported depression. The results produced an excellent fit of statistics of the model to the data. In general, social connections and relationships with family and friends directly affected adolescents’ self-perceived depressive feelings. More specifically, variables such as “often feeling isolated from people,” “the amount of quality time spent with family,” “the frequency of meeting with friends, relatives or colleagues,” and “involvement in informal activities with friends” had the greatest total effects on adolescents’ self-perceived depression. “The amount of quality time spent with family” also exerted indirect influence on feelings of isolation. Involvement in sports groups, involvement in religious and spiritual groups, and generalized trust did not exhibit any direct influence but had an indirect impact on self-perceived depression. The findings could contribute to the current understanding of theories of depression and yield implications for social policy, social service, and social work interventions for school-aged adolescents in Abu Dhabi.
