# Does premenstrual syndrome affect a woman's quality of life?

The study measured quality of life in physiotherapy students and found an average score of 72.59%, and concluded that quality of life was affected by PMS. Without knowing how this score compares to women without PMS, it is hard to judge how significant this finding is.

 Early or limited evidence

135 female physiotherapy students, ages 18-26

## What they did

Cross-sectional survey of 135 female physiotherapy students aged 18-26 who filled out questionnaires about their premenstrual symptoms and their quality of life.

## What they found

Among the 135 students surveyed, the self-reported quality of life was measured at 72.59%, and the study concluded that quality of life in female physiotherapy students was affected.

## What it means for you

The study suggests PMS affects everyday quality of life for these students, but it is small (only 135 women) and only includes one campus. There is no comparison group of women without PMS, so we cannot be certain how much PMS itself is responsible for any reduction in quality of life.
