Dysmenorrhea is the most common gynecological disorder in young women and is seen in almost 50% of women. The present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between physical activity and nutrition with primary dysmenorrhea in students at Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences (Sari, Iran) in 2015. This comparative descriptive study was conducted on 250 students with and without primary dysmenorrhea. Data were collected using personal-demographic, nutrition and physical activity questionnaires. The output was then analyzed in SPSS-18 using independent t-test, Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis. The results showed significant differences between the two groups in terms of nutrition and physical activity, as the mean score of nutrition was 57.91 in the group with dysmenorrhea and 61.68 in the group without, while the mean intensity of physical activity was 5518.75 metric in the group with dysmenorrhea and 4666.42 metric in the group without. Physical activity was calculated by MET scale (minutes/week). This index measured the amount of consumed energy at the time of activity relative to that consumed at resting time. A healthier and more favorable nutrition style and more regular physical activity reduces the severity of dysmenorrhea in girls. Therefore, educational measures are required to raise awareness among young women about the effects of proper nutrition and physical activity on the prevention and reduction of dysmenorrhea complications.
痛经是年轻女性中最常见的妇科疾病，近50%的女性都有痛经症状。本研究旨在调查2015年伊朗萨里马赞德兰医科大学学生的体育活动和营养状况与原发性痛经之间的关系。这项比较描述性研究对250名有和没有原发性痛经的学生进行。通过个人人口统计学、营养和体育活动问卷收集数据。然后在SPSS - 18中使用独立t检验、卡方检验和逻辑回归分析对结果进行分析。结果显示，两组在营养和体育活动方面存在显著差异，痛经组的营养平均得分为57.91，无痛经组为61.68，而痛经组的体育活动平均强度为5518.75米，无痛经组为4666.42米。体育活动通过代谢当量量表（分钟/周）计算。该指数测量活动时消耗的能量相对于休息时消耗的能量。更健康、更良好的营养方式和更规律的体育活动可减轻女孩痛经的严重程度。因此，需要采取教育措施，提高年轻女性对适当营养和体育活动对预防和减少痛经并发症影响的认识。
