Previous studies have revealed a high comorbidity between premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and depression; however, whether PMS can longitudinally predict depression has not been examined in large sample studies.
This study surveyed 8,133 women from the 1973-78 cohort of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health. Participants completed seven repeated measurements at 3-year intervals starting in 2000 (aged 22-27 years). Binary logistic and multivariate ordered logistic regression models were used to examine the predictive role of self-reported frequency of PMS symptoms in 2000 on self-reported diagnosis of depression and frequency of depressive symptoms, respectively, for each follow-up survey.
Self-reported frequency of PMS symptoms in the year 2000 predicted self-reported diagnosis of depression in most follow-up surveys. Specifically, compared to women who reported "never" had PMS symptoms in 2000, those who reported "often" had them were more likely to report a diagnosis of depression in 2006 (OR = 1.72), 2012 (OR = 1.88), 2015 (OR = 1.49), and 2018 (OR = 1.90); and those who reported "sometimes" had PMS symptoms in 2000 were more likely to report a diagnosis of depression in 2012 (OR =1.37) and 2018 (OR = 1.59). Furthermore, self-reported frequency of PMS symptoms in 2000 predicted self-reported frequency of depressive symptoms in each follow-up survey. Compared to women who reported "never" had PMS symptoms in 2000, those who reported "sometimes", or "often", had PMS symptoms reported depressive symptoms more frequently.
Self-reported frequency of PMS can predict the self-reported frequency of depressive symptoms and the subsequent diagnosis of depression.
先前的研究表明经前期综合征（PMS）与抑郁症之间存在高度共病；然而，在大规模样本研究中，尚未检验 PMS 是否可以纵向预测抑郁症。
本研究调查了来自澳大利亚妇女健康纵向研究 1973-78 队列的 8133 名女性。参与者在 2000 年（年龄 22-27 岁）开始，每 3 年重复测量 7 次。采用二元逻辑回归和多变量有序逻辑回归模型，分别检验 2000 年自我报告的 PMS 症状频率对后续每次随访中自我报告的抑郁症诊断和抑郁症状频率的预测作用。
2000 年自我报告的 PMS 症状频率预测了大多数随访调查中的自我报告的抑郁症诊断。具体而言，与 2000 年报告“从未”有 PMS 症状的女性相比，报告“经常”有 PMS 症状的女性在 2006 年（OR=1.72）、2012 年（OR=1.88）、2015 年（OR=1.49）和 2018 年（OR=1.90）报告抑郁症诊断的可能性更高；而报告“有时”有 PMS 症状的女性在 2012 年（OR=1.37）和 2018 年（OR=1.59）报告抑郁症诊断的可能性更高。此外，2000 年自我报告的 PMS 症状频率预测了每个随访调查中的自我报告的抑郁症状频率。与 2000 年报告“从未”有 PMS 症状的女性相比，报告“有时”或“经常”有 PMS 症状的女性报告抑郁症状的频率更高。
自我报告的 PMS 频率可以预测自我报告的抑郁症状频率和随后的抑郁症诊断。
