Women can have polycystic ovaries without having pcos, and not all women with pcos have ovarian cysts.
The article (to me) does not seem to suggest that eating disorders cause pcos (the syndrome). It asks the question...and does, however, point to literature indicating that eating disorders contribute to
ovarian cysts in some women.
The presence of cysts is not required for a diagnosis of pcos.
That said: I suppose it's entirely possible that eating disorders might be the root cause of pcos, however, I don't see that in the above article.
