What factors are related to premenstrual syndrome in high school students?
Stress level, nutritional status, family history, and sleep patterns were all significantly linked to PMS. Age at first menstruation was not. This was a small observational study.
What they did
Cross-sectional survey of 85 high school students in Indonesia using simple random sampling. Tested associations between PMS and five factors: age at menarche, stress level, nutritional status, family history, and sleep patterns using chi-square analysis.
What they found
Stress level (p=0.045), nutritional status (p=0.007), family history (p=0.001), and sleep patterns (p=0.035) were significantly associated with PMS. Age at menarche was not associated (p=0.752).
What it means for you
Multiple factors including stress, nutrition, family history and sleep may influence PMS. This was a small single-school study with no intervention or control group, so we cannot prove these factors cause PMS.
