Survey study, 2018

# Is stress linked to PMS?

No, this study found no significant connection between stress levels and PMS symptoms. However, the result was based on a single small group, so other studies may find different results.

 Early or limited evidence

93 medical students at Tarumanagara University

## What they did

Researchers asked 93 medical students to complete questionnaires about their stress levels and PMS symptoms in October and November 2014.

## What they found

There was no significant relationship between stress and PMS (p = 0.231).

## What it means for you

This suggests stress may not be as important a cause of PMS as some people think. The main limit is that this was a small study of just one group of students at one university.
