Are eating patterns and rest patterns related to PMS?
Yes, both eating patterns and rest patterns are significantly associated with PMS in these midwifery students.
What they did
Researchers studied 89 female midwifery students in Indonesia and tested whether eating habits and rest patterns were associated with PMS using statistical tests.
What they found
Eating habits showed a significant relationship with PMS (p=0.003) and rest patterns showed a significant relationship with PMS (p=0.004).
What it means for you
Both eating and sleeping patterns appear to be linked to PMS symptoms, but this is an observational study so we cannot prove cause and effect. Limited to one university program in Indonesia.
