A survey of 1826 women in the Wellington region was carried out. Participants were asked about their general and gynaecological health and their menstrual, contraceptive and obstetric history. Detailed questions were asked about the menstruating women's last menstrual cycle. Half the women reported some dysmenorrhoea, and 520 had 'significant period pain.' Severity, duration and timing of pain were indexed. There was maximum prevalence at 20 to 24 years and positive associations with smoking, short cycles, and moderate to severe premenstrual symptoms. There was association with method of contraception but no association with sedentary occupation or body mass index. The apparent negative relationship with parity was not significant when age, smoking and premenstrual symptomatology were taken into account.
对惠灵顿地区1826名女性进行了一项调查。参与者被问及她们的一般健康状况、妇科健康状况以及月经史、避孕史和产科史。针对有月经的女性，详细询问了她们最后一个月经周期的情况。一半的女性报告有痛经，520名女性有“严重经期疼痛”。对疼痛的严重程度、持续时间和时间进行了索引。在20至24岁时患病率最高，且与吸烟、月经周期短以及中度至重度经前症状呈正相关。与避孕方法有关联，但与久坐职业或体重指数无关。在考虑年龄、吸烟和经前症状时，与生育状况的明显负相关并不显著。
