“…Prevalences from 5 to 60% have been reported, with the highest rates seen in adolescent girls. 74,75 In a study of 313 women screened for PMS by questionnaires, women with PMS exhibited a greater number of 'episodes of eating' premenstrually than a control group. 32 Furthermore, women with PMS experienced more severe cravings than women who reported no PMS symptoms.…”

Impact of the menstrual cycle on determinants of energy balance: a putative role in weight loss attempts

2007

Women's weight and body composition is significantly influenced by the female sex-steroid hormones. Levels of these hormones fluctuate in a defined manner throughout the menstrual cycle and interact to modulate energy homeostasis. This paper reviews the scientific literature on the relationship between hormonal changes across the menstrual cycle and components of energy balance, with the aim of clarifying whether this influences weight loss in women. In the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle it appears that women's energy intake and energy expenditure are increased and they experience more frequent cravings for foods, particularly those high in carbohydrate and fat, than during the follicular phase. This suggests that the potential of the underlying physiology related to each phase of the menstrual cycle may be worth considering as an element in strategies to optimize weight loss. Studies are needed to assess the weight loss outcome of tailoring dietary recommendations and the degree of energy restriction to each menstrual phase throughout a weight management program, taking these preliminary findings into account.

“…16 However, this approach is timedemanding and may have reduced compliance, since a significant proportion of women refuse or do not properly fill the charts. 17,18 In addition, neither the DSM-IV nor the latest DSM-5 provide a set criteria or specifiers to determine PMDD severity. 19 To fill that gap, Steiner et al 16 have developed the Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool (PSST).…”

Objective: To develop and validate a Brazilian Portuguese version of the Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Tool (PSST), a questionnaire used for the screening of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and of the most severe form of PMS, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). The PSST also rates the impact of premenstrual symptoms on daily activities. Methods: A consecutive sample of 801 women aged X 18 years completed the study protocol. The internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and content validity of the Brazilian PSST were determined. The independent association of a positive screen for PMS or PMDD and quality of life determined by the World Health Organization Quality of Life instrument-Abbreviated version (WHOQOL-Bref) was also assessed. Results: Of 801 participants, 132 (16.5%) had a positive screening for PMDD. The Brazilian PSST had adequate internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.91) and test-retest reliability. The PSST also had adequate convergent/discriminant validity, without redundancy. Content validity ratio and content validity index were 0.61 and 0.94 respectively. Finally, a positive screen for PMS/PMDD was associated with worse WHOQOL-Bref scores. Conclusions: These findings suggest that PSST is a reliable and valid instrument to screen for PMS/ PMDD in Brazilian women.Keywords: premenstrual dysphoric disorder; mood disorders; quality of life; premenstrual symptoms screening tool; psychiatry IntroductionFemale reproductive life events are often accompanied by physical and psychological challenges associated with a negative impact on women's functioning. 1 One such example is premenstrual syndrome (PMS), a cluster of recurrent physical, psychological, and emotional symptoms occurring during the late luteal phase and disappearing within a few days of the onset of menses. [2][3][4] As many as 80% of women experience at least one of the PMS symptoms 3,5,6 described in the ICD-10, 7 which include, but are not limited to, mild psychological discomfort, feelings of bloating and weight gain, breast tenderness, swelling of hands and feet, various aches and pains, poor concentration, sleep disturbances, and changes in appetite.Moderate to severe PMS affects 20-35% of women and may cause significant functional impairment and deterioration of interpersonal relationships. 1 In turn, the prevalence of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), the most severe form of PMS, has been estimated to vary from 3-8% among women of reproductive age. PMDD is a cyclical disorder closely related to the menstrual cycle, disappearing during pregnancy and after menopause. 8 PMDD has deleterious effects on quality of life (QOL), [9][10][11][12] with a burden similar to that of dysthymia or major depressive disorder. 13,14 The definition of PMDD in both DSM-IV and DSM-5 is based upon a peri-menstrual pattern of at least one among four key affective symptoms (markedly depressed mood, feelings of hopelessness, or self-deprecating thoughts; marked anxiety, tension; marked affective lability; persistent anger or irritability, incr...

“…But this statistic is lower than the results of the study of Alavi et al, which had been done among the students of Bandar Abbas University of Medical Sciences University. Also, this statistic is significantly higher than the results of the study of Asiabar et al, (Kiani et al, 2009) and the studies done in Thailand and Japan (Chayachinda et al, 2008;Takeda et al, 2006). These data indicated that is spite of numerous questionnaires (retrospective and prospective), the prevalence of premenstrual syndrome in Iran is almost similar and higher than the extent observed from the other countries.…”

“…The exact reasons of difference in the prevalence of PMS among the women are unknown; but we can refer to some possible causes. These reasons can be the personal type (Björn et al, 2006;Fontana & Palfai 1994), hormonal changes, disorder in regulation of serotonin, diet, drugs and lifestyle (Takeda et al, 2006) and cultural differences.…”

Introduction: Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is the advent of physical and psychological symptoms related to the menstrual cycle, the symptoms of this syndrome start in luteal phase and ends at the end of menstrual period. During the last decades, the patterns of PMS (PMS) have studied in a wide range. But those researches had had different methodologies and definitions and the results were not well comparable. Hence, the researchers decided to conduct a study with the aim of investigation of the prevalent of PMS among the students of the Zahedan University of Medical Sciences. Materials and Methods:This descriptive-analytical study was done on 200 students of Zahedan University of Medical Sciences, Iran. A two-part questionnaire was used in order to collect data. The first part related to the demographic features and the second part was related to the PSTT standard questionnaire. After collecting data, the data was analyzed by using SPSS 19 software through the statistical descriptive tests, Chi square test, Fisher's exact test and t-test. Findings:The mean age of subjects was 21.9 ± 2.61. A total of 89 subjects were diagnosed with PMS. The most percentage of moderate to severe PMS was for students of medicine and the least percentage was for students of nursing. The highest percentage of mild PMS was in nursing students while the lowest percentage was for students of medicine. Conclusion:Regarded to the fact that PMS is from the common problems of premenopausal ages in women and a high percentage of them are with psychological and physical symptoms, and since this condition can cause adverse effects on the quality of women's life; hence, it is necessary to consider the supportive and therapeutic strategies in order to reduce the severity of its symptoms and adverse effects.
