What factors affect premenstrual syndrome in teenage girls?
Diet and physical activity were connected with having PMS, but age at first period was not. This was a very small study in one location, so results may not apply to other girls.
What they did
Researchers studied 57 teenage girls in Indonesia in December 2021, looking at whether diet, physical activity, and age at first period were connected with PMS.
What they found
Diet and physical activity were connected with PMS. Age at first period was not connected with PMS.
What it means for you
In one village in Indonesia, diet and physical activity patterns may be connected with having PMS. However, this study was very small with only 57 girls in one location, so results may not apply to other girls or countries.
