# Is stress linked to worse PMS symptoms?

Yes, stress was clearly linked to worse PMS symptoms. The study was from one high school, so results may not apply everywhere.

 Early or limited evidence

## What they did

282 female high school students completed questionnaires measuring stress levels and PMS symptom severity.

## What they found

There was a strong link between higher stress levels and worse PMS symptoms.

Higher stress appears connected to worse PMS in teenage girls. The study only included one high school in Indonesia, so results may not apply everywhere. The study cannot show whether reducing stress would improve PMS symptoms.
