  1. 1 AHEI-2010, Alternative Healthy Eating Index 2010; OA Isolated Oligomenorrhea (≥34 days in menstrual cycle), PCOS Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (hyperandrogenism and oligomenorrhea)
  2. 2 Model adjusted for covariates: age, total energy intake, education, BMI. Interaction term: diet*race
  3. 3 p < 0.10 (each group vs. reference group). Reference group defined as no PCOS, HA, or OA. Baseline group = White. Black sample sizes: PCOS N = 11, OA N = 26, Reference N = 256; race-specific results are derived from the interaction model. White sample sizes: PCOS N = 29, OA N = 49, Reference N = 273; race-specific results are derived from the interaction model
