Abstract

Introduction: Menstrual cycle gets affected by various modifiable risk factors. To assess prevalence of various types of menstrual problems, lifestyle and mental health status, identification of variables as predictors for menstrual problems and level of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) awareness among rural and urban population of Punjab, the present study has been carried out.

Methods: The study was conducted from November 2019 to July 2020 in the Malwa region of Punjab, India, with 2673 participants (15-25 years). Epidemiological information was collected using predesigned questionnaire along with depression, anxiety and stress (DASS-21) score mental health assessment tool. MS-Excel (2019) and IBM SPSS 18.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL) was used for statistical analysis.

Results: The overall prevalence of different menstrual problems was 60.61%, with dysmenorrhea (50.64%) being most common problem. Body mass index (BMI), menarche age, physical activity, and mental health status are significant (p < 0.05) predictors of menstrual problem both in rural and urban population. Overall, only 3.30% subjects were aware about PCOS.

Conclusion: Dysmenorrhea is the most common menstrual problem, both in rural and urban population. BMI, sedentary lifestyle, electronic gadgets usage, and mental health are associated with menstrual problems. Low awareness on PCOS indicates need to create awareness as the condition can be easily managed with early intervention.

印度旁遮普邦农村和城市人口月经问题、生活方式、心理健康和多囊卵巢综合征意识流行的横断面研究

导读:月经周期受到各种可变危险因素的影响。为了评估旁遮普农村和城市人口中各种月经问题、生活方式和精神健康状况的患病率，确定作为月经问题预测因素的变量以及多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)的认识水平，开展了本研究。方法:该研究于2019年11月至2020年7月在印度旁遮普邦马尔瓦地区进行，共有2673名参与者(15-25岁)。采用预先设计的问卷和抑郁、焦虑和压力(DASS-21)评分心理健康评估工具收集流行病学信息。采用MS-Excel(2019)和IBM SPSS 18.0 (SPSS Inc.， Chicago, IL)进行统计分析。结果:不同月经问题的总体患病率为60.61%，以痛经(50.64%)最为常见。身体质量指数(BMI)、月经初潮年龄、体力活动和心理健康状况具有显著性(p)。结论:痛经是农村和城市人群最常见的月经问题。身体质量指数、久坐不动的生活方式、电子产品的使用和心理健康都与月经问题有关。对多囊卵巢综合征的低认识表明需要建立意识，因为这种情况可以通过早期干预轻松控制。
