UNASSIGNED: We used an appropriate guideline for systematic reviews and meta-analyses reports, which is the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). This review protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023414021). The publications were identified from PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Scopus databases, and other grey searches. The included papers were the original data that reported the prevalence of premenstrual syndrome and associated factors published, in English, and papers available online from January 1, 2000, to May 30, 2023. The data was extracted in Microsoft Excel, and then it would be imported into STATA 11.0 for analysis.
UNASSIGNED: We have included 16 studies conducted in African countries with 6530 study participants. In this meta-analysis, the pooled prevalence of premenstrual syndrome among the reproductive-age participants in Africa was 46.98 (95% CI: 28.9-65.06%). Further, in subgroup analysis, the pooled prevalence of premenstrual syndrome was 57.32% in Nigeria, 43.8% in Ethiopia, and 38.6% among university students and 66.04% among secondary school students. Among associated factors, the early age of menarche was significantly related to premenstrual syndrome.
UNASSIGNED: In this review, the pooled prevalence of premenstrual syndrome in Africa was high. Among factors, the early age of menarche was a risk factor for premenstrual syndrome. This finding might help the stakeholders (mental health policy makers, administrators, and mental health professionals) to address prevention, early screening, and management of PMS among reproductive-age women, and to give attention to more vulnerable bodies.

■我们对系统评价和荟萃分析报告使用了适当的指南,这是系统审查和荟萃分析(PRISMA)的首选报告项目。本综述方案在PROSPERO(CRD42023414021)中注册。出版物来自PubMed/Medline,EMBASE,Scopus数据库,和其他灰色搜索。纳入的论文是报告经前综合征患病率和相关因素发表的原始数据,在英语中,和论文可从2000年1月1日至2023年5月30日在线获得。数据是在MicrosoftExcel中提取的,然后将其导入到STATA11.0中进行分析。
■我们纳入了在非洲国家进行的16项研究,有6530名研究参与者。在这个荟萃分析中,非洲育龄期参与者的经前期综合征合并患病率为46.98(95%CI:28.9~65.06%).Further,在亚组分析中,尼日利亚经前期综合征的合并患病率为57.32%,埃塞俄比亚占43.8%,大学生为38.6%,中学生为66.04%。在相关因素中,初潮年龄较早与经前期综合征显著相关。
■在这篇评论中,非洲经前期综合征的合并患病率较高.在因素中,初潮年龄较早是经前期综合征的危险因素。这一发现可能有助于利益相关者(心理健康政策制定者,管理员,和心理健康专业人员)来解决预防问题,早期筛查,以及育龄妇女经前综合症的管理,并关注更脆弱的身体。
