Abstract
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic
disorder affecting adolescent girls worldwide. The condition is characterized
by menstrual irregularities, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovarian
morphology. Early identification of PCOS is crucial because it is associated
with obesity, insulin resistance, infertility, and increased risk of metabolic
disorders. The ABCD model of nutritional assessment (Anthropometric,
Biochemical, Clinical, and Dietary) provides a comprehensive framework for
evaluating health status and identifying risk factors related to PCOS. This
research paper focuses on assessing PCOS among adolescents in the Mahishadal
area of Purba Medinipur using the ABCD model. Anthropometric measurements such
as BMI and waist circumference, biochemical parameters including hormonal and
metabolic markers, clinical symptoms like menstrual irregularities and
hirsutism, and dietary patterns were evaluated to understand the multifactorial
nature of PCOS. The findings highlight the importance of early screening,
lifestyle modification, and nutritional intervention to reduce the prevalence
and complications of PCOS among adolescents.
