MeDiApp-PCOS: A Mobile Mediterranean Diet App for Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (MeDiApp-PCOS)

Randomized Controlled Trial of a Mobile Application With Personalized Mediterranean Diet-Based Recommendations in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

This randomized clinical trial will test whether a mobile application with personalized Mediterranean diet-based recommendations can improve health outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome compared with standard lifestyle advice.

Participants will be assigned to either the mobile application group or the standard lifestyle advice group.

The primary outcomes are change in LDL cholesterol and change in body mass index after 3 months.

Secondary outcomes include changes in metabolic and hormonal measures, quality of life, treatment adherence, and ovulatory function assessed through 6 months.

Beschreibung

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Female participants aged 18 to 45 years.
  • Diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with an anovulatory phenotype according to the Rotterdam criteria (2003).

    • Clinical and/or biochemical hyperandrogenism.
    • Polycystic ovarian morphology on ultrasound, defined as at least 20 follicles measuring 2 to 9 mm in either ovary and/or ovarian volume of at least 10 cm3.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding at the time of enrollment.
  • Planning pregnancy during the study period.
  • Type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus.

  • Severe cardiovascular disease, including unstable angina, myocardial infarction within the previous 6 months, or stroke within the previous 6 months.
  • Use within the previous 3 months of medications that may affect body weight, carbohydrate metabolism, androgen status, or reproductive function, including metformin, oral contraceptives, antiandrogens, gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists or antagonists, clomiphene citrate, glucocorticoids, thiazolidinediones, or weight-loss drugs.
  • Current or past eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge eating disorder.

Waffen und Interventionen

Teilnehmergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandlung
Experimental: Mobile Application With Personalized Mediterranean Diet-Based Recommendations

Participants randomized to this arm will receive access to a mobile application specifically developed for women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

The application provides personalized dietary recommendations based on the Mediterranean diet, a system for tracking food intake and physical activity, automated feedback and motivational messages, weekly progress reports, and educational materials on PCOS and healthy lifestyle.

Participants will be instructed to use the application daily for 6 months, including completion of nutrition and activity diaries and review of recommendations and feedback.

The intervention consists of a mobile application providing personalized Mediterranean diet-based nutrition plans, a food database with nutritional information, automatic calculation of caloric intake and macronutrient composition, monitoring of adherence to the Mediterranean diet, physical activity recommendations (including minimum weekly minutes of moderate aerobic activity and strength training), an activity diary with step tracking, automated feedback and motivational messages, weekly progress reports, push notifications with reminders, and educational materials on PCOS and healthy lifestyle.

Participants are instructed to use the application daily for 6 months, to enter food intake and physical activity, and to review personalized feedback. The intervention aims to optimize dietary habits, increase physical activity, improve metabolic parameters, and support restoration of ovulatory function in women with PCOS.

Aktiver Komparator: Standard Lifestyle Advice

Participants randomized to this arm will receive standard written recommendations for lifestyle modification in polycystic ovary syndrome, including principles of the Mediterranean diet, recommended foods and example menus, and physical activity recommendations.

They will receive a one-time consultation with a dietitian at baseline with explanation of the recommendations and will be advised to keep a paper diary of nutrition and physical activity during the follow-up period.

No access to the mobile application will be provided in this arm.

Standard care consisting of written lifestyle recommendations for women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

This includes printed materials describing the Mediterranean diet (principles, recommended and discouraged foods, example menus), physical activity recommendations, and general educational information on PCOS and the importance of lifestyle changes.

Participants will receive a one-time dietitian consultation at baseline to review the recommendations and will be advised to keep a paper diary of nutrition and physical activity throughout the follow-up period. No digital application or additional feedback system will be provided.
