Lifestyle modification is widely considered to be the cornerstone of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) treatment. However, 45% of women with PCOS have reported that they have never been provided information about lifestyle management. This highlights a significant gap in knowledge and is reflective of the lack of evidence-based guidance for lifestyle modification. While more detailed and comprehensive studies are being performed, it is necessary for health professionals to develop effective action plans utilizing the available evidence. This chapter aims to provide a comprehensive review of the current data regarding the impact of lifestyle modifications on the disease course of PCOS.
