The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software version 16 and descriptive statistics and logistic regression.
Results:
The mean (SD) score of adoption of preventive behaviors of premenstrual syndrome was 19.25 (0.63) out of 50, and it was low. Also, weekly physical activity, mother education level, and family income were the factors affecting the adoption of preventive behaviors of premenstrual syndrome (P < 0.05).
