Abstract:
The authors aim to determine the prevalence of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) level in young women and to determine the relationship between PMS and sedentary behavior and anthropometric measurements. The data were collected with the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS) and Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ) scales. Waist and hip circumferences were measured with a tape measure. The women included in the study had moderate or higher PMS symptoms. There was a positive correlation between PMSS score and waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, SBQ weekend, and SBQ total values (p < .05). PMS score was found to be higher in women whose menstrual period was between 2-7 days (p = .010). Waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, weekend and total sedentary behavior time, and menstrual period length were factors affecting PMS severity in women. Researchers found that PMS is shaped not only by hormonal factors, but also by anthropometric and behavioral factors related to lifestyle.
