Survey study, 2023

Is PMS or PMDD more common in girls who live in dormitories?

The study found no difference in PMDD between girls living in dormitories versus at home, but more girls at home experienced PMS. We cannot be sure why since this was a descriptive study without detailed comparisons.

Early or limited evidence Female high school students in Indonesia, some living in dormitories and some at home.

What they did

Researchers used a one-time questionnaire survey to compare PMS and PMDD rates in female high school students who lived in dormitories versus those who lived at home.

What they found

There was no difference in PMDD rates between dormitory and non-dormitory students. PMS rates were higher in non-dormitory students. Both PMS and PMDD interfered with students' daily activities and reduced their quality of life.

What it means for you

Both groups of girls experience PMS and PMDD, and both conditions affect daily life and wellbeing. School health workers should provide support. The study is limited because it did not report specific prevalence percentages and did not measure other factors that might explain the differences.
