# Does better diet knowledge and practice reduce PMS in adolescent girls?

The study found a moderate positive correlation between diet practice and PMS occurrence. The abstract does not clearly explain whether better diet practices reduce symptoms or if girls with more symptoms practice more dietary approaches.

 Early or limited evidence

60 adolescent girls at selected college

## What they did

Cross-sectional study of 60 adolescent girls at a college. Researchers assessed knowledge about diet and PMS using questionnaires and checklists, and identified whether girls had PMS.

## What they found

62% (n=37) had poor knowledge about diet and PMS, 33% (n=20) had good knowledge, and 5% (n=3) had very good knowledge. Diet practice on PMS was moderately positively correlated with PMS occurrence.

## What it means for you

Many adolescent girls lack knowledge about diet and PMS. The relationship between diet practice and PMS is unclear. The sample is very small and the finding may not apply to other groups.
