Cross -Sectional Study Of ‘Abnormal Body Mass Index
Keywords:
body mass index, premenstrual syndrome, adolescenceAbstract
Background And Objectives: Adolescent period is characterized by profound psychological, behavioural and hormonal changes. Adolescents with high body mass index are susceptible to a host of metabolic functional abnormalities and clinical problems. The aim of this study was to evaluate association between occurrence of PMS and body mass index (BMI) if any, in adolescent girls. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 407 healthy adolescent girls in 12-18 years age group. Study Tool used is the widely accepted premenstrual syndrome self evaluation questionnaire by Allen Lawrence. The participants were asked to fill in responses for each premenstrual symptom before, during and after menstruation, stating intensity grading from 0-4. Data was analyzed by using SPSS software version 16. Chi- square and student’s t-test were used for statistical calculations. Result: In the study, mean observed body mass index was found to be 22.86 +/- 5.22 kg/m2. The study revealed that PMS occurred in 63.2% of the participants and Occurrence of PMS was significantly high (p<0.05) in participants with high BMI. Conclusion: This study revealed that PMS occurs in a high proportion of adolescent age group. Furthermore, this study reveals that high body mass index is positively associated with PMS.
