Supervised short-term nutrition and exercise promotes weight loss in overweight and obese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Thirty-two mid-reproductive-aged overweight and obese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome, most of whom had never exercised regularly, lost 3% to 4% of baseline weight, body mass index, and circumference of waist and hip while participating for 8.8 +/- 2.7 weeks in a medically supervised fitness program.
