Abstract

Objectives: The burden of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is increasing and affects the quality of life of young women. This study aimed to measure the prevalence of PMS and identify the associated factors amongst students and staff belonging to the King Saud University (KSU) in Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia, 2019. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was conducted during 2019 with 409 women (both students and staff), aged 18-30 years belonging to the KSU (female campus), in Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire comprised sociodemographic information, premenstrual symptoms, smoking, physical activity, and social support. Standard protocols were followed to measure anthropometric indices, including height, weight, hip, and waist circumference. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the significant factors associated with PMS. Results: Participants’ mean age and body mass index were 22±3.3 years and 24.0±5.3 kg/m2 , respectively. The mean scores for total symptoms were 6.71±2.81, ranging from 0 to 12, with more than 90% of women reporting at least one symptom. The physical symptoms were more frequently reported as compared to psychological symptoms. The multivariate regression found that high-level studies (OR= 2.26, 95% CI: 1.31-3.92) and participants reporting income level <10000 Saudi Arabian Riyal (OR= 2.66, 95% CI: 1.40-5.03) were significantly associated with PMS. Conclusions: A significantly large number of women are suffering from PMS. Lifestyle interventions focusing on body weight and income-generating programs can help decrease premenstrual symptoms. We recommend that national-level studies should be conducted to highlight any urban-rural differences related to PMS.
沙特阿拉伯利雅得沙特国王大学女性经前综合症患病率及相关因素:一项横断面研究
目的:经前综合征(PMS)的负担日益加重,影响着年轻女性的生活质量。本研究旨在测量2019年沙特阿拉伯利雅得市沙特国王大学(KSU)学生和工作人员中经前症候群的患病率,并确定相关因素。材料和方法:这项基于问卷的横断面研究于2019年对沙特阿拉伯利雅得市KSU(女性校园)的409名年龄在18-30岁的女性(包括学生和工作人员)进行了研究。问卷包括社会人口统计信息、经前症状、吸烟、体育活动和社会支持。按照标准方案测量人体测量指标,包括身高、体重、臀围和腰围。进行多因素logistic回归分析,以确定与经前综合症相关的显著因素。结果:参与者的平均年龄和体重指数分别为22±3.3岁和24.0±5.3 kg/m2。总症状的平均得分为6.71±2.81,范围从0到12,超过90%的女性报告至少有一种症状。与心理症状相比,身体症状更常被报道。多变量回归发现,高水平研究(OR= 2.26, 95% CI: 1.31-3.92)和报告收入水平<10000沙特阿拉伯里亚尔(OR= 2.66, 95% CI: 1.40-5.03)的参与者与经前症候群显著相关。结论:相当多的女性患有经前症候群。以体重和创收项目为重点的生活方式干预可以帮助减少经前症状。我们建议进行国家级的研究,以突出与经前症候群有关的城乡差异。
