Women with PMOS (formerly known as PCOS) are at Higher Risk for Emotional and Uncontrolled Eating in Midlife

A recent study has found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are at greater risk for emotional and uncontrolled eating, especially in midlife. The research showed that women with PCOS reported higher emotional eating and uncontrolled eating scores compared to women without the condition.

The study also found that factors like a history of weight-loss attempts and a perception of being overweight played a key role in these eating behaviors. Women with higher psychological distress and a higher BMI were more likely to struggle with emotional eating.

This highlights the need for more targeted counseling and support for women with PCOS, especially as they enter midlife and experience changes like menopause.
