# Is PMS linked to sleep quality in young women?

In university students, 99.8% had PMS and 86.8% had poor sleep quality. Students with poor sleep had higher PMS scores.

 Early or limited evidence

401 female university students

## What they did

A descriptive cross-sectional study of 401 female university students. They used questionnaires to measure PMS, attitudes about healthy nutrition, and sleep quality.

## What they found

99.8% of students had PMS. 86.8% had poor sleep quality. Students with poor sleep quality had significantly higher PMS scores. Sleep quality did not significantly affect attitudes toward healthy nutrition.

## What it means for you

Poor sleep and PMS often occur together in university students. Limitation: the very high PMS rate (99.8%) suggests the measurement may capture mild symptoms. Results may not apply to other age groups or populations.
