To find factors associated with dysmenorrhea, we surveyed the obstetric and gynecologic histories as well as socioeconomic factors of Vietnamese female residents in Can Tho (southern part of Vietnam) and Bavi (northern part of Vietnam) and Vietnamese female marriage immigrants living in South Korea.
From March 2010 to March 2011, 3,017 Vietnamese women aged 17 to 42 years (mean, 25.5 years) were recruited. Socioeconomic factors as well as baseline characteristics, including gynecologic history and menstrual patterns, were collected using questionnaires. The relationships between these factors and dysmenorrhea were analyzed using chi-square test, independent t-test and logistic regression analysis.
Dysmenorrhea was found in 58.8% of all women. The mean age and the age at menarche were younger in the women with dysmenorrhea. A longer duration of menstrual flow and severe menstrual volume increased the risk of dysmenorrhea. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea was lower in women who had experienced pregnancy, term delivery and breastfeeding. The prevalence of dysmenorrhea in Vietnamese women was also different according to their educational status. When participants were divided according to their religious preferences, atheist women showed a lower prevalence with 55%, and women who were religious had a higher prevalence of dysmenorrhea. The body mass index, menstrual cycle length, monthly income, and duration of residency in Korea were not related with the prevalence of dysmenorrhea.
Socioeconomic factors as well as age, menstrual pattern and obstetric history were related with dysmenorrhea in Vietnamese women.
为了找出与痛经相关的因素，我们调查了越南芹苴市（越南南部）和巴维市（越南北部）的越南女性居民以及居住在韩国的越南女性婚姻移民的妇产科病史和社会经济因素。
从2010年3月至2011年3月，招募了3017名年龄在17至42岁（平均25.5岁）的越南女性。使用问卷收集社会经济因素以及包括妇科病史和月经模式在内的基线特征。使用卡方检验、独立t检验和逻辑回归分析来分析这些因素与痛经之间的关系。
在所有女性中，58.8%有痛经。痛经女性的平均年龄和初潮年龄更小。月经持续时间更长和月经量过多会增加痛经风险。经历过怀孕、足月分娩和母乳喂养的女性痛经患病率较低。越南女性的痛经患病率也因教育程度不同而有所差异。当根据宗教信仰对参与者进行划分时，无神论女性的患病率较低，为55%，而有宗教信仰的女性痛经患病率较高。体重指数、月经周期长度、月收入和在韩国的居住时间与痛经患病率无关。
社会经济因素以及年龄、月经模式和产科病史与越南女性的痛经有关。
