Using a cross-sectional sample of 1147 urban adolescents, aged between 14 and 20 years, the variability of some menstrual cycle indicators was related to weight loss. Nearly 40% of the adolescents tried to lose weight and the results showed that attempting to lose weight is significantly associated with increased prevalence of menstrual irregularity and menstrual pain. This finding is independent of body mass index.
对1147名年龄在14至20岁之间的城市青少年进行横断面抽样研究,发现一些月经周期指标的变异性与体重减轻有关。近40%的青少年试图减肥,结果表明,试图减肥与月经不调和痛经患病率增加显著相关。这一发现与体重指数无关。
