What factors affect premenstrual syndrome in teenage girls?
Physical activity, vitamin D intake, and sleep quality all affect PMS risk, with physical activity being the strongest factor.
What they did
Cross-sectional study of 196 female students at a school in Indonesia using stratified random sampling. Researchers analyzed the relationship between vitamin D intake, physical activity, sleep quality, family history, and PMS.
What they found
Physical activity had the strongest relationship with PMS (standardized coefficient beta 0.267, p value 0.000). Vitamin D intake (p value 0.013) and sleep quality (p value 0.003) were also related to PMS. Family history was not related (p value 0.240).
What it means for you
Physical activity appears most important for PMS prevention in teenage girls. However, this cross-sectional study at one school cannot prove causation, and the effects are modest in size.
