“…Em um estudo populacional, verificou-se que 96,6% das mulheres apresentavam pelo menos 1 sintoma durante o período pré-menstrual e que 37,5% possuíam alta pontuação na escala de sintomas pré-menstruais 4 . No Brasil, em um estudo retrospectivo com 254 mulheres, observou-se a prevalência de 43,3% da SPM autoaferida 5 .…”

ResumoOBJETIVO: Verificar a relação entre o nível de atividade física e a incidência da síndrome pré-menstrual. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo transversal realizado com 71 universitárias aparentemente saudáveis (24,4±4,8 anos; 61,5±8,7 kg; 1,63±0,06 m). O nível de atividade física foi mensurado através de questionário, e a síndrome pré-menstrual foi verificada através de um diário de sintomas respondido durante dois ciclos menstruais consecutivos. No diário são considerados 17 sintomas, os quais deveriam ser pontuados em uma escala de 5 pontos (0 a 4) de acordo com sua ocorrência, possibilitando assim o cálculo de um escore em cada ciclo. Foi considerada a ocorrência da síndrome pré-menstrual se três ou mais sintomas fossem relatados até seis dias antes da menstruação (fase pré-menstrual) e ausentes até seis dias após (fase pós-menstrual). RESULTADOS: A correlação de Spearman demonstrou uma relação significativa e negativa entre o nível de atividade física e o escore da síndrome pré-menstrual (r=-0,506; IC95% -0,335 a -0,678; p<0,001). Quando a amostra foi dividida em um grupo com diagnóstico positivo para síndrome pré-menstrual (n=31) e um grupo saudável (n=40), o teste de Mann-Whitney demonstrou que o grupo saudável possui um nível de atividade física habitual significativamente maior do que o grupo com síndrome pré-menstrual (7,96±1,17; 6,63±1,20 respectivamente) (p<0,001). CONCLUSÕES: Existe uma relação negativa entre o nível de atividade física habitual e a incidência da síndrome pré-menstrual, sendo que as mulheres com diagnóstico positivo para síndrome pré-menstrual possuem um nível de atividade física menor que as mulheres saudáveis.Abstract PURPOSE: To determine the relationship between the level of physical activity and the incidence of premenstrual syndrome. METHODS: A cross-sectional design was conducted on 71 apparently healthy university students (24.4±4.8 yrs; 61.5±8.7 kg; 1.63±0.06 m). The level of physical activity was determined with a questionnaire and the presence of premenstrual syndrome was verified based on daily symptoms self-reported in a diary during two consecutive menstrual cycles. 17 premenstrual symptoms are considered in the diary, which should be scored on a 5-point scale (0-4) according to their occurrence, so that a score can be calculated in each cycle. The occurrence of premenstrual syndrome was considered if three or more symptoms were reported up to six days before menstruation (premenstrual period) and were absent up to six days after menstruation (postmenstrual period). RESULTS: The Spearman correlation coefficient showed a significant and negative relationship between the level of physical activity and premenstrual syndrome score p<0.001). When the participants were divided into a group with a positive diagnosis of premenstrual syndrome (n=31) and a healthy group (n=40), the Mann-Whitney test showed higher habitual physical activity in the healthy group than in the premenstrual syndrome group (7.96±1.17 and 6.63±1.20, respectively) (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: There is a nega...

“…This would not be a surprise going by the various aetiological models of PMS. If it is increased perception of mental stress as posited by Rasheed et al [9], stress by increasing sympathetic autonomic activity can raise blood pressure. The high sympathetic autonomic activity causes increased secretion of aldosterone from the adrenal medulla as well as causing increased production of Angiotensin II by the activated rennin-angiotensin system [13].…”

The Role of Premenstrual Syndrome in the Causation of Arterial Hypertension in Women

Introduction: Gender perspectives are gradually generating great interest in health matters. Hypertension is one illness where gender considerations are important. Advancements in knowledge of pathophysiology help in better understanding of diseases and improvements in treatment. Pre-menstrual syndrome has been reported to make hypertension less responsive to treatment. This work was therefore done to see if premenstrual syndrome contributed in some way to hypertension in women. Methodology: All female hypertensives consulting the author in a private specialized hypertension clinic were questioned using the University of Carlifornia at San Diego criteria with a view to determining if they suffered from pre-menstrual syndrome. The control status was also considered for each patient. Females who consulted over the same period and were not hypertensive served as controls. Result: Pre-menstrual syndrome was found to occur more in hypertensive women than normotensive controls; to a statistically significant extent (p < 0.05). Control tended to be poorer in hypertensives with pre-menstrual syndrome than those without. The difference however did not achieve statistical significance. Discussion: There is controversy surrounding the aetiology of pre-menstrual syndrome. However, each of the models albeit inconsistent is capable of initiating and sustaining hypertension. The result here shows that in women it is likely to be one of the many factors that could produce hypertension in those predisposed. Conclusion: Pre-menstrual syndrome should arouse suspicion of future hypertension, and should be sought in all female hypertensives. Its presence should evoke deliberate action to improve outcome or remove the need for pharmacotherapy, at least for some time.
