The authors determined the prevalence of late luteal phase dysphoric disorder in 217 university women aged 17-29 years. Unaware of the focus on premenstrual syndrome (PMS), the participants rated DSM-III-R symptoms of late luteal phase dysphoric disorder over 90 days. Using a 30% or greater premenstrual change as an index of luteal variation, the authors found that 10 women (4.6%) met the symptom criteria during two menstrual cycles. Compared to 25 young women seeking treatment for PMS who met the same diagnostic criteria, the 10 women from the university sample reported significantly less fatigue and impaired concentration and somewhat less severe depression and overall symptoms.
作者对217名年龄在17至29岁之间的大学女生进行了经后期烦躁障碍患病率的测定。参与者在未意识到研究聚焦于经前综合征（PMS）的情况下，对90天内经后期烦躁障碍的DSM-III-R症状进行了评分。作者以经前变化30%或更高作为黄体期变化指标，发现10名女性（4.6%）在两个月经周期中符合症状标准。与25名符合相同诊断标准的寻求PMS治疗的年轻女性相比，来自大学样本的这10名女性报告的疲劳和注意力不集中情况明显较少，抑郁和总体症状也稍轻。
