Based on data from a larger longitudinal study of medical students and physicians, this study establishes the incidence of some menstrual symptoms in a nonclinical population of 82 healthy, female, first-year medical students and investigates the correlation of self-reported anxiety and depression scores with these symptoms. Findings show that nearly half reported the frequent occurrence of at least one menstrual symptom that appeared to cause discomfort but did not interfere with performance. The data suggest an association between anxiety and depression scores and certain self-reported menstrual symptoms in this population. The study suggests the need for further investigation of the nature of the relationship between dysphoric moods and menstrual symptoms in healthy women.
基于一项针对医学生和医生的大型纵向研究的数据，本研究确定了82名健康的一年级女医学生这一非临床人群中某些月经症状的发生率，并调查了自我报告的焦虑和抑郁评分与这些症状之间的相关性。研究结果表明，近一半的人报告至少有一种月经症状频繁出现，这些症状似乎会引起不适，但不会影响表现。数据表明，该人群中焦虑和抑郁评分与某些自我报告的月经症状之间存在关联。该研究表明，有必要进一步调查健康女性烦躁情绪与月经症状之间关系的本质。
