# What lifestyle factors are linked to premenstrual syndrome in teenage girls?

Four lifestyle factors showed clear links to PMS: less exercise, higher body weight, more salty foods, and more sugary foods.

 Moderate study design

64 teenage girls in Indonesia—32 with premenstrual syndrome and 32 without

## What they did

Researchers compared 32 teenage girls with PMS to 32 without PMS at a high school in Indonesia. They asked about their exercise habits, body weight, and diet (salty and sugary foods).

## What they found

All four factors showed a clear difference between girls with and without PMS. Girls with PMS exercised less, had higher body weight, and ate more salty and sugary foods.

## What it means for you

These lifestyle factors may influence whether teenage girls develop PMS. The study was done in Indonesia with a fairly small sample, so results might differ in other countries. The findings suggest exercise, weight control, and diet could matter for PMS.
