“…Fruits and vegetables are important sources of vitamins and antioxidants [65]. Therefore, the combination of these results with the findings of studies on the plasma level of vitamins confirmed that women with dysmenorrhea took less fruits and vegetables and had less plasma levels of vitamins [33,42,53]. Vitamins, beta-carotene, zinc, and minerals are diet antioxidants.…”

“…Four studies found a significant inverse association between the consumption of dairy products and dysmenorrhea [16,21,33,59], Di Cintio et al [26] found no relationship between the intake of milk and risk of dysmenorrhea, but cheese was more frequently used by women with dysmenorrhea than healthy controls.…”

“…No difference was reported with vitamin C. Weissman et al [17] reported a lack of significant relationship between vitamin intake and dysmenorrhea. Only Abdul-Razzak et al [33] reported that individuals with severe and very severe dysmenorrhea had vitamin D deficiency or had low calcium intake. Nevertheless, there was no relationship between the severity of menstrual pain, and vitamin D and plasma calcium levels.…”

“…The largest number of samples was 2,166 individuals in the study by Fujiwara and Nakata [32] in Japan. Also, the study of Abdul-Razzak et al [33] in Jordan had the lowest number of samples (n = 56). The studies were performed in the different parts of the world including the United States, China, Japan, Iran, Jordan, Nepal, Turkey, India, South Korea, Ethiopia, Georgia, Serbia, and Italy.…”

Background: The incidence and severity of primary dysmenorrhea are influenced by various factors. The aim of the present study was to review nutritional factors influencing primary dysmenorrhea. Methods: Academic databases including Web of Science, EMBASE, Scopus, and PubMed (including Medline) were searched using keywords of nutrition, diet, and primary dysmenorrhea. In this study, observational studies that were published in English from 1990 to April 2018, which focused on nutritional factors affecting primary dysmenorrhea, were selected. The evaluation of studies was performed using a modified STROBE checklist with 10 items. Results: Out of 5,814 retrieved studies, 38 articles met inclusion criteria and were included for final data synthesis. The increased consumption of fruits and vegetables as the sources of vitamins and minerals, as well as fish and milk and dairy products have positive associations with less menstrual pain. Inconsistent results were reported on the consumption of other nutritional groups. Studies showed negative associations of meal skipping and following diet to lose weight with severity of dysmenorrhea. Conclusion: A few studies showed inconclusive findings due to methodological heterogeneities for assessing nutritional habits and different methods of measuring dysmenorrhea pain. Therefore, further analysis and future interventional studies with stronger methodologies are required.

This study was performed to check the hypothesis that low serum vitamin D and reduced calcium intake may contribute to the comorbidity of psychological symptoms (anxiety and depression) and non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP). The design was a case-control study that involved 40 subjects with NCCP and 40 age and gender-matched healthy controls. Serum vitamin D was assessed using electrochemiluminescence immunoassay; anxiety and depression symptoms were assessed using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and dietary calcium intake was assessed by self-reporting. Subjects with NCCP had higher anxiety and depression scores and lower vitamin D and dietary calcium intake compared to healthy controls (p < .05). NCCP was associated with anxiety score (odds ratio = 1.40, p < .01). Prevalence of abnormal anxiety score was much higher in subjects with NCCP (47.5%) compared to healthy controls (7.5%). Anxiety score was inversely correlated with vitamin D level and dietary calcium intake (p < .01). Anxiety score was inversely associated with vitamin D level (R = .32, p < .05). In conclusion, development of NCCP can be predicted from increased anxiety score which in turn can be predicted from low vitamin D levels. This suggests physicians to consider anxiety and vitamin D deficiency as possible causes for NCCP.
