Study, 2019
Does PMS happen more in women aged 35 and older compared to younger women?
Yes, women aged 35 and older had more PMS cases than women aged 15-34 in this study.
What they did
Researchers compared PMS cases between women aged 15-34 and women aged 35 and older in a specific area of Indonesia using a cross-sectional comparison study design.
What they found
The study found a clear difference between the two age groups. Women aged 35 and older had more PMS cases than women aged 15-34. Researchers noted that changes in hormone levels before menstruation may explain these differences.
What it means for you
This shows PMS becomes more common and more bothersome as women age, especially between 30 and 45 years old. The main limitation is that it was done in one specific area of Indonesia, so results may not apply to all women.
