THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BODY MASS INDEX AND PRIMARY DYSMENORRHOEA (literature review)
Keywords:
adolescents, primary dysmenorrhoea, BMI.Abstract
Relevance. Menarche is one of the main physiological changes in adolescent girls and is often associated with irregular menstruation and primary dysmenorrhea.
The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of primary dysmenorrhea and study the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and the emergence of primary dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls by literature analysis.
Methods. The literature search was conducted in the PubMed, Medline, Science Direct, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases for six years, from 2017 to 2022. The search included literature reviews, original articles on BMI and primary dysmenorrhea, and prospective studies.
Results. The literature analysis showed a possible association of underweight, overweight, or obesity with primary dysmenorrhea.
Conclusion. There are limited literature sources on the gynecological impacts of BMI in adolescent girls. Further study of primary dysmenorrhea is required to assess its incidence and prevalence and the relationship between BMI and the emergence of primary dysmenorrhea in teenage girls.
