Abstract

With this cross-sectional study, it is aimed to examine the relationship between premenstrual syndrome and obesity in adolescence. This cross-sectional study was conducted with 650 adolescents aged 12-18 years who applied to the Pediatric Adolescent Outpatient Clinic and voluntarily agreed to participate in the study. Anthropometric measurements of the adolescents were taken and the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale was applied. premenstrual syndrome was detected in all of the adolescents participating in the study. It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between premenstrual syndrome and the body mass index classification of adolescents (p<0.001). It was found that as the body mass index value of the adolescents increased, the premenstrual syndrome levels increased. This study is a study examining the relationship between premenstrual syndrome and obesity in adolescence, and it was determined that the frequency of premenstrual syndrome is high in slightly overweight/obese adolescents. With this study, it is predicted that premenstrual syndrome levels will decrease as adolescents have a healthy body weight. It is important that both medical doctors and dietitians work together for adolescents to acquire healthy eating habits.

Adolesan Dönemde Premenstrual Sendromun Obezite İle İlişkisi

Abstract

Bu kesitsel çalışma ile, adolesan dönemde premenstrual sendromun obezite ile ilişkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Kesitsel olarak yürütülen bu çalışma Çocuk Adolesan Polikliniği’ne başvuran 12-18 yaş grubu araştırmaya katılmayı gönüllü olarak kabul eden 650 adolesan ile yürütülmüştür. Adolesanların antropometrik ölçümleri alınarak, Premenstrual Sendrom Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Çalışmaya katılan adolesanların tamamında premenstrual sendrom varlığı saptanmıştır. Premenstrual sendrom ile adolesanların beden kütle indeksi sınıflaması arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu belirlenmiştir (p<0,001). Adolesanların beden kütle indeksi değeri arttıkça premenstrual sendrom düzeylerinin arttığı bulunmuştur. Bu çalışma adolesan dönemde premenstrual sendrom ile obezite ilişkisinin incelendiği bir çalışma olup, Hafif şişman/obez adolesanlarda premenstrual sendrom sıklığının yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma ile, adolesanların sağlıklı vücut ağırlığına sahip olmaları ile premenstrual sendrom düzeylerinin azalacağı öngörülmektedir. Adolesanların sağlıklı beslenme alışkanlığı edinmeleri için hem tıp doktorlarının hem de diyetisyenlerin birlikte çalışmaları önem arz etmektedir.
