# How does diet affect PMS symptoms?

This review of medical literature shows that diet is one of the most important changeable factors that might help prevent or reduce PMS. About 47.8% of women of reproductive age worldwide have PMS, and about 5-8% have the severe form called PMDD.

 Early or limited evidence

This is a literature review, so it summarizes findings from many studies across different populations

## What they did

The authors reviewed scientific literature and medical knowledge about the connection between PMS and nutrition. They looked at how diet, hormones, and brain chemistry interact in the development of PMS.

## What they found

About 47.8% of women of reproductive age worldwide experience PMS. About 5-8% experience PMDD, the severe form. Diet is one of the most important changeable factors that might help prevent or improve PMS.

## What it means for you

This shows diet is an important area for research into preventing and treating PMS. Because this summarizes what others found rather than new research, it doesn't identify which specific foods help most or how much dietary change is needed. Findings are based on research from many countries, which may study different populations and use different methods.
