Does PMDD affect women's quality of life and job performance?
Yes. Women with PMDD had significantly lower quality of life and job performance. Quality of life was positively linked with job performance.
What they did
Researchers surveyed 400 working women (193 married, 207 unmarried) across six different job types. They measured PMDD symptoms, quality of life, and job performance using questionnaires.
What they found
PMDD was negatively correlated with both quality of life and job performance, meaning higher PMDD scores were linked to lower quality of life and work performance. Quality of life was positively correlated with job performance.
What it means for you
Women with PMDD experience reduced quality of life and work difficulties that are connected to each other. The study was conducted in one region of Pakistan with employed women only, so results may not apply to other areas or unemployed women.
