Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Proportion of participants achieving at least two consecutive regular menstrual or ovulatory cycles (mid-luteal progesterone 3 ng/mL) at 12 weeks, comparing the Intervention Arm (Yoga + Structured Lifestyle/Diet) vs Control Arm (Yoga + Routine Advice).Timepoint: 12 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Change from baseline to weeks 12 & 24 in the Metabolic Composite Score, defined as the mean of standardized z-scores of BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, & HOMA-IR (each standardized using the study baseline mean & SD). All component measures will be oriented such that higher scores indicate worse metabolic status; thus a decrease in the Metabolic Composite Score represents improvement. The Metabolic Composite Score will be analyzed using a linear mixed-effects model with fixed effects for treatment, visit (12, 24), baseline value, & a random intercept for participant.Timepoint: Week 12 & 24
