In the sample of 734 women, randomly chosen from the Warsaw population, we collected interviews dealing with menstrual cycle abnormalities. The frequency of amenorrhoea in this sample was 0.3% and that of oligomenorrhoea was 6.7%. Dysmenorrhoea (more or less pronounced) was apparent in 56.3% of women, and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) was claimed by 40.5% women. For the assessment of the potential risk factors causing the menstrual cycle abnormalities we used an univariate and multivariate unconditional logistic analysis. The highest values of the oligo/amenorrhoea relative risk (RR = 5.6) were found in the youngest (< or = 16.4 y) group and among women using oral contraceptives. Dysmenorrhoea was more frequent among women who had no children (RR = 1.7) and RR for PMS was higher in women, who were previously pregnant (RR = 1.5) and in women who used oral contraceptives.
