This study was conducted to identify the potential relationship between the dietary intake level of soy isoflavones and perimenstrual symptomatology. The research design was a cross-sectional study. The sample was made up of 84 Korean women living in the USA, aged 28-40 years. The Moos Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ) and the Food Frequency Questionnaire were used as measurement tools. The soy isoflavone intake was significantly correlated with MDQ scores in the menstrual phase. In conclusion, the beneficial effect of dietary soy isoflavones on certain menstrual symptoms was established, suggesting that soy isoflavones could be one of the dietary factors related to the complexity of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). The positive effect of soy isoflavones on PMS warrants further study.

Objective: Approximately 80% of women in reproductive age experience some premenstrual ‎phase-related changes in the menstrual cycle. We aimed to determine the prevalence of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and ‎premenstrual dysphoric disorder symptom frequency among women aged 15-49 years in a family practice catchment area. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the women registered to a family practice center in İzmir Bayraklı. Out of 522 women at the age of 15-49 years, 198 participants filled the Premenstrual Assessment Form (PAF) and answered demographic questions. The main outcome measures were the presence of “premenstrual ‎symptoms” and “premenstrual syndrome”. Results: The mean age, waist circumference and BMI of the women were 29.3±9.1 years, 80.4±13.2 ‎cm and 25.2±5.1 kg/m2, respectively. Of the participants, 68.2% (n=131) were single and 60.4% ‎‎ (n=116) were housewives. Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) was present in all the women involved in the study. Of ‎these, 3.6% were evaluated as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). None of the ‎independent variables in the study revealed as risk factors for PMDD (p>0.05). Mean PAF scores were ‎2.22±0.90‎. There was no correlation between PAF scores and the studied variables except for waist ‎circumference (r = -0.17; p = 0.02). The sociodemographic variables ‎were not related with PMS (p> 0.05).‎ Conclusions: Training and counseling on the causes and ‎symptoms of PMS should be provided to women, particularly in primary health care facilities, and in-service trainings should be ‎conducted to provide information to the staff working in family practice centers.‎

ÖzPremenstrüel sendrom, 15-18 yaşlar arasındaki genç kızların sıklıkla karşılaştığı psikolojik ve fizyolojik bir rahatsızlıktır. Bu çalışmanın amacı premenstrüel sendromun yaşam kalitesi, öfke ve depresyon düzeyi ile ilişkisinin araştırılmasıdır. 156 kız lise öğrencisinin katılımı ile mevcut okul ortamında yapılan araştırmada, Sosyodemografik Form, Premenstrüel Sendromu Ölçeği, Beck Depresyon Envanteri, Çocuklar İçin Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği ve Sürekli Öfke ve Öfke İfade Tarzı Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın bulgularına göre premenstrüel sendromu düzeyi arttıkça, depresyon ve öfke düzeyi anlamlı olarak artmakta ancak yaşam kalitesi düşmektedir. Ayrıca yaşam kalitesi ve premenstrüel sendromu arasındaki ilişki depresyonun ve öfkenin kısmi aracı etkisi ayrı ayrı değerlendirildiğinde anlamlı bulunmuştur. Depresyon ile premenstrüel sendromu bağıntısında öfkenin bağıntı üzerinde anlamlı bir kısmi aracı etkisi olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak premenstrüel sendromu olan bireylerin tedavisinde, öncelikle depresyon, öfke ve yaşam kalitesi boyutlarının kontrol edilmesi ve söz konusu değişkenler arası ilişkiler gözardı edilmemelidir.
