Objective:To preliminarily develop a lifestyle self-assessment scale being suitablefor patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and test its reliability andvalidity.Methods:98patients with PCOS were surveyed by behavior questionnaire includingsomatic symptom, psychological behavior, life habits and social function. Thelifestyle self-assessment scale for PCOS including19items was generated by factoranalysis with cutting items and adjusting structure and tests of the reliability andvalidity. Then,40patients with PCOS and40healthy controls were surveyed to testthe scale’discriminant validity.Results:The lifestyle self-assessment scale for PCOS was consisted by19itemswhich generated5factors (each characteristic root>1, cumulative rate=56.625%).The Cronbach’s α was0.626~0.826and the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient was0.709~0.822. There were significant differences in three factors containing exerciseconsciousness, physique cognition and rhythm of life in the scale between PCOS andcontrol groups.Conclusion:This scale accords with the living habits characteristics of PCOS patentsand can provide guidance and basis for lifestyle intervention. Objective:To describe the disease characteristics in patients of obese polycysticovary syndrome (PCOS) with obesity ICF comprehensive core set in order to revealthe related dysfunction domains.Methods:Sixty patients with obese PCOS were evaluated by using obesity ICFcomprehensive core set. Categories reported as a problem by at least30%of patientswere considered as relevant functional profiles for PCOS patients.Results:In60patients with obese PCOS,20items were selected from109items ofobesity ICF comprehensive core set and considered as the relevant functionalcharacteristics for obese PCOS, in which6items of body functions (30%of allselected items),1item of body structures (5%of all selected items), and13items ofenvironmental factors (65%of all selected items) were included.Conclusions:Obesity ICF comprehensive core set can be applied to patients withobese PCOS, which offers the possibility for clinic application ICF core set in clinic. Objective:To evaluate obesity rehabilitation intervention protocol in our departmentby mapping it against the International Classification of Functioning, Disability andHealth (ICF) core set for obesity.Methods:The contents of our department obesity rehabilitation intervention protocolwere linked to the categories of obesity ICF core set by applying ICF linking rules.Results:In the four domains of “body function”,“body structure”,“activities andparticipation” and “environmental factors”, the numbers of matching categories were23,24,3,11, respectively, in which objective evaluation were82.61%,90.91%,79.17%,100%, respectively. The matching total numbers were61categories,accounting for55.96%in109of obesity ICF comprehensive core set. Clinicians andrehabilitation therapists fully assumed assessment operation of "body structure" and"environmental factors" respectively. The assessment operation of "body functions"and "activities and participation" was mainly assumed by the rehabilitation therapists,and also involved sometimes by clinicians.Conclusions: Current obesity rehabilitation protocol accords basically withrequirements of obesity ICF core set, in which the domains of body structure andenvironmental factors need to be further improved.
