# What factors make PMS more likely during a pandemic?

High stress level is clearly linked to PMS. Poor diet may also increase PMS risk when stress is considered.

 Early or limited evidence

120 female students from health colleges in Indonesia

## What they did

120 female health students answered questions about their stress level, diet, and PMS symptoms. Researchers looked for connections between these factors.

## What they found

Stress level was clearly linked to having PMS. When stress was considered, poor diet appeared to double the risk of PMS.

## What it means for you

Women with PMS may benefit from managing stress and eating well, especially during stressful times. This was done during the COVID-19 pandemic in one country, so findings may not apply to other times or places.
