Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a collection of physical, cognitive, affective, and behavioral cyclically occurring symptoms during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle which resolves later. The study aims to find the prevalence and symptoms of PMS and risk factors associated with it among school-going adolescent girls in Aligarh. A total of 422 girls (Class 6 to 12) were taken by systematic random sampling with probability proportionate to size. 37.7% (159) of the girls reported PMS with abdominal bloating (35.2%) as the most common somatic symptom and social withdrawal (69.2%) as the most common effective symptom. The multivariable analysis showed that occurrences of PMS were significantly associated with age, adjusted odds ratio (AOR) (95% confidence interval [CI]): 2.19 (1.22-3.93); education status of participants, AOR (95% CI): 2.97 (1.37-6.45); mothers who are graduate and above, AOR (95% CI): 2.59 (1.40-4.77); working mothers, AOR (95% CI): 1.81 (1.04-3.14); long menstrual cycle (>35 days), AOR (95% CI): 0.40 (0.19-0.85); and irregular cycle, AOR (95% CI): 2.83 (1.48-5.38). Cox and Snell R was 0.2 and Nagelkerke R was 0.3.
经前期综合征（PMS）是一种在月经周期黄体期周期性出现的身体、认知、情感和行为症状的集合，之后会自行缓解。本研究旨在调查在阿拉格的在校少女中，PMS 的流行程度、症状和相关危险因素。采用系统随机抽样法抽取了 422 名（6 至 12 年级）女孩，采用与大小成比例的概率抽样。37.7%（159 人）的女孩报告患有 PMS，最常见的躯体症状是腹部肿胀（35.2%），最常见的有效症状是社会退缩（69.2%）。多变量分析显示，PMS 的发生与年龄、调整后的优势比（AOR）（95%置信区间[CI]）显著相关：2.19（1.22-3.93）；参与者的教育状况，AOR（95%CI）：2.97（1.37-6.45）；母亲是研究生及以上学历，AOR（95%CI）：2.59（1.40-4.77）；母亲是上班族，AOR（95%CI）：1.81（1.04-3.14）；月经周期长（>35 天），AOR（95%CI）：0.40（0.19-0.85）；和不规律周期，AOR（95%CI）：2.83（1.48-5.38）。Cox 和 Snell R 为 0.2，Nagelkerke R 为 0.3。
