Abstract: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder that affects women of reproductive age, often accompanied by metabolic, hormonal, and psychological challenges. Nutritional management, including the knowledge, attitude and practice, plays a crucial role in the treatment and management of PCOS, as dietary choices significantly influence symptoms and overall health outcomes. This review examines the impact of nutritional education, awareness, and educational interventions for women with PCOS through a Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) framework. It highlights the current state of nutritional literacy among women with PCOS, the effectiveness of dietary and lifestyle interventions, and the relationship between improved awareness and better health outcomes. The review also emphasizes the need for targeted educational programs that provide women with accurate nutritional information, including the benefits of healthy food, and encourage the adoption of healthy lifestyle practices. By enhancing understanding of how knowledge attitude and practice regarding nutrition and lifestyle influence PCOS, these interventions can contribute to improved symptom management and a better quality of life for women affected by the condition.
