Abstract

|
|
Objectives:The purpose of this study is to recognize change of menstrual patterns and dysmenorrhea according to obesity indices and physical activity in female college students.
Methods:From March 22nd to May 14th, 2010 we researched 1,407 women students at OO College by questionnaires to investigate their menstruation, dysmenorrhea, obesity and physical activity.
Results:1. Triglyceride(TG) was decreased statistically in the regular group of menstrual cycle as compared with the irregular group. 2. Menstrual duration was not associated with obesity indices. 3. Higher BMI was associated with more menstrual amount. 4. Dysmenorrhea was increased with decreasing BMI. 5. Neither menstrual patterns nor dysmenorrhea were associated with physical activity, but dysmenorrhea was decreased in minimally active group.
Conclusion:This study showed the significant effect of menstruation and dysmenorrhea on obesity indices and physical activity. Obesity is related to menstruation and dysmenorrhea, but physical activity isn’t related to them.
