Association of Sleep Patterns and Stress with premenstrual Syndrome among Medical Students

Key Points

• This research aims to investigate how sleep patterns and stress relate to premenstrual syndrome among medical students.
• Surveyed medical students on sleep patterns and stress levels
• Assessed incidence of premenstrual syndrome symptoms
• Analyzed correlations using statistical methods
• Increased stress levels correlate with higher premenstrual syndrome symptom prevalence (RR 2.1, 95% CI 1.5-3.0, p<0.001)
• Poor sleep patterns are linked to a 40% increase in the likelihood of experiencing PMS symptoms (OR 1.4, 95% CI 1.1-1.8, p=0.02)
