Abstract：
Less is understood about female\'s nutrient intake\'s impact on the severity of the menstrual cycle (MC) symptoms, which consequently interferes with their life quality.
The goal of this study is to look at the relationship between female nutrient consumption and the severity of MC symptoms to better understand how food affects women\'s quality of life during their MCs.
To investigate this impact among healthy adult women, a self-administered, cross-sectional online questionnaire was obtained from 204 regularly menstruating women aged between 18 and 40.
The questionnaire included questions on sociodemographic characteristics, a semi-food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), Arabic Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (A-PMS-S) for MC symptoms.
Results showed intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) was associated with lower no to mild versus moderate to severe physical symptoms (odds ratio (OR): 0.71, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.59-0.85; p < 0.001), psychological symptoms (OR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.77-0.99; p < 0.05), and functioning symptoms (OR: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.83-1.02; p > 0.1). Thiamine prevented psychological symptoms (OR: 0.02, 95% CI: 0.02-0.02; p < 0.001), physiological symptoms (OR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.58-0.60; p < 0.001), and functioning symptoms (OR: 0.47, 95% CI: 0.47-0.48; p < 0.001). Saturated fat, iron, and niacin intakes increased the risk of experiencing MC psychological symptoms.
Our findings suggest that MC symptoms were correlated with some nutrient intake from food sources, which is considered an external controllable factor more than demographic characteristics. Therefore, women should be aware of the type of food consumed during their monthly MC phase.

摘要：
■对女性营养摄入对月经周期（MC）症状严重程度的影响了解较少，从而影响他们的生活质量。
■这项研究的目的是研究女性营养消耗与MC症状严重程度之间的关系，以更好地了解食物如何影响女性在MC期间的生活质量。
■为了调查健康成年女性的这种影响，一个自我管理的人，我们从204名年龄在18至40岁之间的定期月经女性中获得了横断面在线问卷.
■问卷包括有关社会人口统计学特征的问题，半食物频率问卷(FFQ)，用于MC症状的阿拉伯语经前综合征量表（A-PMS-S）。
■结果显示，多不饱和脂肪酸（PUFA）的摄入量与轻度至中度至重度身体症状的降低有关（优势比（OR）：0.71，95％置信区间（CI）：0.59-0.85；p<0.001），心理症状（OR：0.87，95%CI：0.77-0.99；p<0.05），和功能症状（OR：0.92，95％CI：0.83-1.02；p>0.1）。硫胺素可预防心理症状（OR：0.02，95％CI：0.02-0.02；p<0.001），生理症状（OR：0.59，95%CI：0.58-0.60；p<0.001），和功能症状（OR：0.47，95％CI：0.47-0.48；p<0.001）。饱和脂肪,铁,和烟酸的摄入量增加了经历MC心理症状的风险。
■我们的研究结果表明，MC症状与食物来源的某些营养素摄入有关，这被认为是比人口特征更外部可控的因素。因此,女性应该了解每月MC阶段所消耗的食物类型.
