Abstract

PCOS is a hormonal disorder that affects women of childbearing age. In recent years, the prevalence of PCOS has increased, posing a significant health risk. Multiple factors most importantly lifestyle changes are causing the rising prevalence of PCOS. Growing evidence suggests a connection between junk food addiction and the onset and progression of PCOS. The consumption of highly processed junk foods, which are high in carbohydrates, unhealthy fats, and artificial additives, may contribute to hormonal imbalances and insulin resistance, are causing PCOS. Understanding this connection is essential for managing the disease and prevent adverse cardiometabolic long term consequences.
