# Does weight and vitamin B6 affect PMS?

Women with higher weight had more severe PMS. Vitamin B6 intake showed no link to PMS severity.

 Early or limited evidence

83 female university students at Airlangga University in Indonesia

## What they did

83 female university students had their height and weight measured, kept food records for vitamin B6 intake, and answered questions about their PMS symptoms.

## What they found

53% had mild PMS and 47% had moderate PMS. There was a clear link between higher weight and worse PMS. There was no link between vitamin B6 intake and PMS severity.

## What it means for you

Women with higher weight may have more severe PMS symptoms, but getting enough vitamin B6 did not seem to make a difference in this study. The findings are from university students in Indonesia and may not apply to other groups.
