Early or limited evidence 243 female university students in Lahore, Pakistan ## What they did Researchers surveyed 243 female students from different departments at University of Lahore. They used a questionnaire called the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale to measure PMS symptoms and looked at how PMS related to age, menstrual cycle length, where students lived, their field of study, and lifestyle factors. ## What they found 50.62% of the 243 students experienced PMS. The study examined differences in age, menstrual cycle length, duration of menstruation, age at PMS onset, current living situation, field of study, and lifestyle factors. ## What it means for you PMS affects about one in two university students in this Pakistani city.
