Survey study, 2025 # Is there a relationship between diet, weight, and PMS? Yes. There is a significant relationship between diet and PMS, and between weight and PMS. Most of the women studied (61.9%) reported having PMS. Early or limited evidence 214 female medical students in Indonesia. ## What they did A total of 214 female medical students (from 2022 and 2023 classes) at a university in Indonesia completed a questionnaire about their diet, weight, and PMS symptoms. Researchers analyzed the data to see if diet and body weight were related to PMS. ## What they found Most women (59.1%) reported good diet patterns, but 53% were above normal weight range. About 61.9% of the women experienced PMS. There was a significant relationship between diet and PMS, and also between weight and PMS. ## What it means for you Diet and weight appear to be related to whether women experience PMS. This is relevant to understanding factors that may affect PMS. The main limitations are that this is a cross-sectional study (so we cannot say diet or weight causes PMS), the sample is only medical students in Indonesia, and the study does not explain how diet and weight influence PMS. 214 Women students studied 61.9% Reported having PMS 53% Were above normal weight ## About the study Original title Hubungan Antara Pola Makan Dan Indeks Massa Tubuh Dengan Sindrom Pre Menstrual Pada Mahasiswi Universitas Yarsi Dan Tinjauannya Menurut Pandangan Islam Authors Preity Shalima Nirlia Putri, Endang Purwaningsih, Karimulloh Karimulloh Journal Cerdika Jurnal Ilmiah Indonesia Year 2025 Study design Survey study What was tested None.

Dua faktor yang memengaruhi prevalensi PMS adalah pola makan dan indeks massa tubuh (IMT). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi hubungan antara pola makan dan IMT dengan sindrom premenstrual pada mahasiswi angkatan 2022 dan 2023 Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas YARSI. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan sampel sebanyak 214 responden yang dipilih berdasarkan kriteria tertentu. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner dan lembar observasi yang dibagikan kepada responden. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan uji bivariat dengan uji Chi Square, menggunakan perangkat lunak Statistical Program for Social Sciences (SPSS). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar responden memiliki pola makan yang cukup baik (59,1%), tetapi 53% dari mereka berada pada rentang berat badan di atas normal. Sebagian besar responden (61,9%) mengalami PMS. Analisis menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan antara pola makan dan IMT terhadap sindrom premenstrual. Dalam pandangan Islam, terdapat hubungan antara pola makan dan PMS, namun tidak ditemukan hubungan langsung antara IMT dan PMS karena konsep IMT tidak dibahas secara spesifik dalam Islam. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa pola makan dan IMT berkontribusi terhadap prevalensi PMS, dengan temuan yang relevan secara statistik dan pandangan agama, sehingga memberikan wawasan baru untuk penelitian dan intervensi lebih lanjut.
