Approximately 20% of Danish women of reproductive age are diagnosed with PCOS, and yet only a little attention has been paid to the psychological symptoms appearing in women with PCOS. The present study investigated anxiety, depression, and lower quality of life among Danish women of reproductive age who are diagnosed with PCOS. Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey study among 326 Danish women who self-reported as being diagnosed with PCOS. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to measure anxiety and depression, and the PCOS-QOL scale was used to measure the quality of life. Chi-square tests and logistic regression analyses were used for analyzing data. Results: Sixty-six percent of women were found to have anxiety (n = 216), 41% of women had depression and 70% of women had low quality of life The most frequently reported symptoms were irregular menstrual cycle (86%), overweight (73%), and mood swings (65%), and irregular menstrual cycle, overweight and infertility were the were perceived of having higher severity. After adjusting for age, ethnicity, education, and income, the severity of symptoms, namely irregular menstrual cycle, infertility, overweight, and hirsutism, were indepen- dently and positively associated with depression, and severity of symptoms, namely irregular menstrual cycle, mood swings, and hirsutism, was independently and positively associated with anxiety. Lower quality of life was independently associated with both anxiety and depression. Conclusions: Women with PCOS are at higher risk of anxiety, depression, and consequently, lower quality of life. Clinicians and other healthcare professionals should pay attention to the impor- tance of mental health support in women with PCOS and work towards promoting it. Key messages:  Women with PCOS are at higher risk of anxiety and depression, and lower quality of life.  Health care professionals working with women with PCOS should be aware of this and be prepared to offer necessary support. Abstract citation ID: ckac131.501 Mental health of migrants during the COVID-19 pandemic: additional stressors, increased inequalities Ana Gama MJ Marques 1,2 , A Gama 1,2 , AR Pedro 1,2 , R Magano 1,2 , C Tiessen 3 , P Hollanders 4 , S Dias 1,2 1 NOVA National School of Public Health, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal 2 Comprehensive Health Research Center, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal 3 Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands 4 Maastricht University, Maastricht, Netherlands Contact: anafgama@gmail.com The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an unprecedent range of negative mental health outcomes across populations worldwide. Such effects are increasingly being documented, however an evidence gap persists on the consequences on most vulnerable groups, as certain subgroups of migrants. These populations already suffer from increased psychological burden, and the pandemic effects may potentially exacerbate adverse experiences and outcomes. This study aims to uncover the perceived impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of migrants in Portugal and the associated sociodemographic aspects. A survey was conducted with a community-based sample of 1126 adult migrants in Portugal, assessing sociodemographics, migration-related characteristics and the perceived impact of the pandemic on mental health. Association between sociodemographics and mental health indicators was measured through bivariable analysis. In total, 1126 adult migrants were surveyed: 53.4% female, mean age of 35.8 years (range 18-77), 48.9% from African countries, 29.5% from Middle East/Asian countries, 21.6% from Brazil. Most participants (80%) reported feelings of agitation, anxiety or sadness during the pandemic period with 26.4% experiencing these feelings most days. The pandemic had a disproportionate impact on women (86.9% reported negative impact compared to 72.5% of men, p < 0.05), those undocumented (83.3% vs 75.4%, p < 0.05), those whose financial situation got worse since the pandemic (82.8% vs. 77.3%, p < 0.05) and those who had increased food shortages (84.4% vs 79%, p < 0.05). Migrants perceived an elevated deterioration of their mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, particular groups such as women and those with a more insecure income or residence status are particularly susceptible to experiencing negative mental health outcomes. Key messages:  There is a need to recognize the detrimental mental health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on particular migrant groups and to develop interventions that target their unique needs.  Investigating sociodemographic and migration aspects could help identifying migrants at a higher risk of experiencing mental health distress.

As per the Global Burden of Disease Study, India’s share of global suicides from 1990 to 2016 increased from 253% to 366% among women and 187% to 243% among men. However, medical factors are not the sole contributors to the suicide burden. Methods: I analyze decadal data (2011-2020) on suicides in India provided by National Crime Records Bureau. This data contains the distribution of suicidal deaths based on age groups, causes, professions, gender, and residence zones. Results: The analysis suggests that individuals aged ‘15-29 years’ were most affected (35.05%) by suicides, followed by those aged ‘30- 44 years’ (32.61%). Family problems contribute to the highest burden of suicides among both these age groups. Such deaths can be attributed to personal reasons. Suicides due to dowry disputes are exclusive to women. Also, women report the highest instances of suicides due to marriage-related issues. While suicides due to drug abuse, bankruptcy, unemployment, poverty, and property disputes were mainly reported among males. In 2020, the rise in annual suicide rate was found to be highest among business persons (29.43%), especially trades- men (49.9%) and vendors (26.11%) against other businesses 15th European Public Health Conference 2022 iii613 Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/eurpub/article/32/Supplement_3/ckac131.502/6766816 by guest on 12 January 2023
