“…Moreover, a higher level of neurotic bulimia is more closely associated with moderate-to-severe PMS than no or mild PMS, with the highest level manifesting in cases diagnosed with PMDD, suggesting that the extent of eating attitude problems may differ depending on the premenstrual emotional state [53]. Given that PMDD is de ned as a more serious form of PMS, eating attitude problems may increase as PMS severity increases.…”

Background: Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) affects women’s physical and mental health. Depression, stress, sleep disturbance, and eating attitude problems have been known to influence PMS. Furthermore, restrictions of daily life due to the COVID-19 pandemic have led to changes in sleep patterns and eating attitudes. Thus, it is necessary to closely examine how these factors affect PMS. This study aimed to examine the levels of PMS, stress, depression, sleep disturbance, and eating attitude problems among female college students who experience dysmenorrhea and determine the factors associated with PMS. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey design was conducted using a convenience sample of 143 female college students in C City, South Korea. Differences in participants' level of PMS according to physical health variables (e.g., smoking, water intake, menstrual pain intensity) and psychological issues (i.e., stress, depression, sleep disturbances, and eating attitude problems) were assessed with independent sample t-tests and one-way ANOVAs. Correlational analyses between these variables were also conducted. Additionally, multiple regression was performed to identify the factors influencing PMS. Results: PMS severity was between normal (27.3%) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) (72.7%). PMS was associated positively with depression (r=.284, p=001), stress (r=.284, p=.001), sleep disturbance (r=.440, p< .001), and eating attitude problems (r=.266, p=.001). Additionally, menstrual pain intensity (β=.204), sleep disturbances (β=.375), and eating attitude problems (β=.202) were found to influence PMS. The regression model was significant (F=16.553, p<.001) with an explanatory power of 24.7%. Conclusions: Considering the influencing factors of PMS identified in this study, interventions for participants experiencing PMS should be made. We propose that further study should be conducted to examine whether the severity of PMDD changes according to menstrual pain, the pattern and degree of its change, and the paths through which sleep quality and eating attitude problems affect PMS.

“…Disordered eating was significantly more common in the PMS group than in the non-PMS group. Moreover, emotional and uncontrolled eating scores were higher in the PMS group [ 96 ]. Another study showed a significantly higher EAT-26 score and overall prevalence of eating disorders in the group with PMDD than in the group with moderate-to-severe, mild, or no PMS symptoms [ 97 ].…”

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a disorder between gynecology and psychiatry which includes cognitive, affective, and somatic symptoms from mild to severe. The most severe form of PMS is premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and it is considered a form of depressive disorder. An association between diet composition and the occurrence of PMS and its severity have been suggested. As such, this manuscript discusses the relationships between diet composition, dietary patterns and eating behaviors, and PMS. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases were searched for related studies up to 18 January 2024. A text search with the following keywords singly or in combination was conducted: “Premenstrual syndrome”, “Nutrition”, “Diet composition”, “Dietary patterns”, and “Eating behaviors”. Studies published so far showed that low intake of simple carbohydrates, fats, salt, and alcohol, and high of fresh, unprocessed foods rich in B vitamins, vitamin D, zinc, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids may help prevent the onset of PMS and reduce the severity of its symptoms. However, further studies are needed to formulate definitive recommendations for the use of vitamins, micronutrients and other dietary ingredients supplementation in women with PMS to improve functioning, overall well-being, and physical health. Large, randomized, double-blind clinical trials across diverse populations are necessary to formulate clear recommendations for supplementation in women with PMS.

“…PMS symptoms were defined by referring to previous studies [19] and adding the 10 symptoms used in the diagnostic criteria of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology [22] to the 8 symptoms reported in previous studies [23][24][25], totaling 18 symptoms according to expert opinion (Table 1). For each of the 18 symptoms, respondents were asked to select one of three options: "no symptoms, " "symptoms not enough to be bothersome but bothersome, " or "bothersome. "…”

“…Based on these findings, we hypothesized that, PMS symptoms may be more severe among young Japanese women with eating disturbance than in those with normal eating behavior, owing to the effects of nutrient imbalance. Although studies have focused on PMS and diet in the context of lifestyle in some countries [15,16], only a few have reported on eating behaviors [19,20] and, compared eating behaviors and PMS symptoms in Japan. Therefore, this study aimed to compare eating disorder tendencies and the severity of PMS symptoms among college students.…”

Background Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a severe problem in women, and a well-balanced diet helps improve PMS symptoms. Eating disturbances are a major health problem in young women. Limited research has explored the correlation between eating behaviors and PMS symptoms in Japan. This study aimed to compare eating disturbances and the severity of PMS symptoms in college students. Methods This study was conducted among female college students using an online questionnaire. The questionnaire included basic information (age, height, and weight), PMS symptoms, and eating behaviors assessed using the Eating Attitudes Test 26. Results The proportion of those with PMS symptoms who were disturbed by PMS symptoms was significantly higher in the group with eating disturbance. Those who were affected by the physical symptoms of PMS had significantly higher scores on the subscales related to diet, bulimia and food preoccupation. Conclusion The results showed an association between PMS symptom severity and eating disturbance. The findings of this study indicate that individuals with eating disturbances may experience adverse effects on PMS symptoms, even in cases where weight is not at the extremes of excessive underweight or obesity.
