“…A recent systemic review and meta-analysis conducted in India and Turkey reported that PMS was prevalent in 43-52.2% of women of reproductive age [19,20]. A Spanish cohort study also reported a PMS prevalence of 73.7% [21] and a meta-analysis in Iranian women of reproductive age reported a prevalence rate of 70.8% [95% CI: 63.8-77.7] [22].…”

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) adversely affects the physiological and psychological health and quality of life of women. Mediterranean diet (MD) could be helpful for managing and preventing PMS, but evidence on the association between dietary patterns and PMS in Asian women is limited. This study aimed to investigate the association of dietary patterns and adherence to MD with PMS in Korean women. This cross-sectional study recruited 262 women aged 20–49 years via an online survey. PMS was diagnosed using the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists diagnostic criteria. MD adherence was assessed using the Korean version of the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener. Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS) was classified into tertiles (T) (T1: 0–3, T2: 4–5, and T3: ≥6). Dietary pattern was assessed with the Food Frequency Questionnaire. Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the association between dietary pattern scores and PMS prevalence. The proportion of PMS was significantly lower in MDS tertile (T) 3 than in T1 (55.4% in T3 vs. 74.4% in T1, p = 0.045). After adjusting for confounders, participants in the highest tertile of the bread/snack pattern had a higher risk of PMS (odds ratio [95% CI]: 2.59 [1.32–5.06]), while traditional dietary pattern and meat/alcohol pattern were not associated with PMS. In conclusion, we found that low adherence to MD and higher bread/snack dietary pattern were associated with increased risk of PMS, respectively.

“…During this period, their outlook on life is developing and this is also a time when mental illness is more likely to occur [9]. In a meta-analysis conducted in Asia, 59% of high school students and 50.3% of college students reported having PMS [10]. PMS symptoms can lead to absenteeism, decreased academic performance, and non-participation in physical activity, and cause considerable social distress among students [11] .…”

Purpose Premenstrual syndrome refers to a set of distressing symptoms experienced before the menstrual flow, which can affect female students’ behavior, cognitive abilities, mental health status, and academic performance. Identifying modifiable risk factors is essential to reduce the prevalence college students’ premenstrual syndrome. We examined associations between premenstrual syndrome and physical activity and sedentary behavior in Chinese female college students. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 315 female college students volunteered to participate at a university in Shanghai, China. We measured physical activity and sedentary behavior using the ActiGraph GT3X-BT and assessed premenstrual syndrome using the Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 24.0 software, and the primary analysis methods included Kruskal-Wallis test and logistic regression analysis. Results Among the 221 female college students who met the inclusion criteria, 148 (67.0%) had PMS while 73 (33.3%) did not. After controlling for confounding variables, moderate physical activity and moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity were significantly associated with premenstrual syndrome. There was no correlation between light-intensity physical activity, sedentary behavior, and premenstrual syndrome in the study. Conclusion Premenstrual syndrome is prevalent among Chinese female college students. Moderate physical activity and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity can be effective in reducing PMS symptoms.

“…6 A systematic review and meta-analysis of 18 studies of premenstrual symptoms in Turkey found that 52.5% of women, 59% of high school students, and 50.3% of university students experienced PMS. 7 According to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), Tenth Revision classification, 8 the most common psychological symptoms of PMS are anxiety, depression, fatigue, irritability, and a tendency to cry, whereas physical symptoms include breast tenderness, swelling, weight gain, sleep disturbance, headaches, and backaches. 1,9,10 Recurrence of these symptoms in each cycle and their effect on daily life activities negatively affect women's interpersonal relationships, social activities, family relationships, and quality of life.…”

IntroductionPremenstrual syndrome (PMS) is an important health problem that affects women of childbearing age. Mindfulness, a meditation practice that cultivates the acceptance of events as they occur in the moment without judgment, is a promising strategy to help women cope with PMS. This study aimed to test the efficacy of a mindfulness‐based stress reduction (MBSR) program in decreasing premenstrual symptoms compared with a control group.MethodsThis study was a prospective, single‐masked randomized controlled trial conducted between February and April 2022 with 90 university students. Participants were women between 20 and 30 years of age, scored at least 45 on the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS), and were not receiving other treatments for PMS. Participants were randomized into experimental (MBSR) and control groups in a 1:1 allocation. MBSR was provided in 8 weekly sessions lasting 2.5 hours and a 6‐hour silence retreat during week 6. Symptoms of PMS were evaluated with the PMSS at baseline and postintervention. Differences between groups were compared postintervention using analysis of covariance to correct for baseline scores. The study was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov before the data collection process was initiated (NCT05191108).ResultsOf the 90 enrolled participants, 74 participants completed the study and postintervention assessment (37 in each group). Immediately postintervention, the women in the experimental group had significantly lower PMS symptoms than women in the control group (PMSS total score, 96.35 vs 123.02; P < .001). The effect size for the change in premenstrual symptoms was large (partial η2, 0.510). Specific symptoms measured by the PMSS subscales all showed significant reductions in scores in the MBSR group compared with the control group.DiscussionA mindfulness stress reduction program was effective in reducing premenstrual symptoms. MBSR programs may be used as a therapy for PMS. Future studies should test MBSR in larger and more diverse groups of women with PMS.
