Thirty-nine healthy women, mainly hospital employees, median age 23, kept a daily record of symptoms throughout their menstrual cycles and plasma progesterone and oestradiol 17 beta levels were measured daily in the premenstrual week and second daily for the remainder of the cycle. Groups with symptom scores (affective, somatic and total) above and below the median score were compared with respect to mean plasma hormone levels and the pattern of change of plasma hormones over the 3 weeks before menstruation and the last 7 premenstrual days. Progesterone/oestrogen ratios for the latter period were also compared in the same subjects. No significant differences were found. There was a positive correlation of age with mean plasma progesterone level in the 3 weeks before menstruation.
39名健康女性（主要是医院工作人员），年龄中位数为23岁，她们在整个月经周期中每天记录症状，并在经前一周每天测量血浆孕酮和雌二醇17β水平，在周期的其余时间每天测量一次。将症状评分（情感、躯体和总分）高于和低于中位数的两组在平均血浆激素水平、月经前3周和经前最后7天血浆激素的变化模式方面进行比较。还对同一受试者后期的孕酮/雌激素比值进行了比较。未发现显著差异。月经前3周平均血浆孕酮水平与年龄呈正相关。
