Quality of life (QoL) is an important aspect of health and well‐being. QoL is reduced in
women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but there is limited data in adolescents. This
review aimed to assess studies regarding the QoL of adolescent girls with PCOS. Five
databases were searched for relevant studies. Studies were included if they were conducted

QoL. The search identified a total of 254 studies, and after exclusions, 11 relevant studies …
Quality of life (QoL) is an important aspect of health and well‐being. QoL is reduced in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but there is limited data in adolescents. This review aimed to assess studies regarding the QoL of adolescent girls with PCOS. Five databases were searched for relevant studies. Studies were included if they were conducted in adolescent girls with PCOS, aged 12–22 years old, and used a questionnaire to measure QoL. The search identified a total of 254 studies, and after exclusions, 11 relevant studies were included in the review. Most studies had a relatively small sample size, but overall included a total of 512 adolescents with PCOS. In most cases, adolescent girls with PCOS have reduced QoL when compared to healthy girls, and PCOS symptoms/excess weight impact on their QoL. Further research is required due to limited data on QoL in adolescents with PCOS of normal weight.
