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.
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.
