# Is anxiety linked to premenstrual syndrome complaints?

Yes, anxiety was significantly associated with PMS complaints. Over two-thirds of students reported PMS complaints, and more than one-third had heavy anxiety.

 Early or limited evidence

63 female medical students (2020 cohort) at Warmadewa University in Indonesia

## What they did

Cross-sectional observational analytical study of 63 female medical students (2020 cohort) at Warmadewa University in Indonesia. Researchers assessed anxiety levels and PMS complaints using standardized measures.

## What they found

38.1% (24 students) had heavy anxiety. 68.3% (43 students) had PMS complaints. There was a significant correlation between anxiety and PMS complaints (p < 0.05).

## What it means for you

Anxiety appears linked to PMS complaints in students. The study only showed associations, not whether anxiety causes PMS or vice versa, and was limited to students at one university.
