Abstract: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common chronic disease in women of childbearing age, which mainly threatens women's reproductive health and metabolism. Globally, 5%-20% of women of childbearing age are affected, depending on the diagnostic criteria. There is currently no effective treatment, so early and long-term management is crucial. International evidence-based guidelines for the assessment and management of PCOS recommend lifestyle interventions, such as exercise alone or a variety of diets combined with exercise and behavioral strategies, as first-line management options for women with PCOS to improve metabolic health. This review summarizes the new progress in the application of lifestyle interventions in PCOS patients from different dietary patterns, exercise interventions and action management in order to improve the attention of medical staff in China to the female population of PCOS and provide technical reference for the future application in the health management practice of PCOS patients.
