METHODS: Eligible studies were searched from the PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases. The link between physical activity and the risk of premenstrual syndrome was evaluated using odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). The heterogeneity of the included studies was tested and their sources were explored by subgroup analysis. A sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the effect of a single study on the pooled results. The included studies were evaluated for publication bias. Five moderate-quality studies were included in this meta-analysis.
RESULTS: Physical activity levels were negatively associated with risk of premenstrual syndrome among college students (OR [95%CI] = 1.46 [1.09, 1.96], P = .011). The pooled results were not influenced after being stratified by the study region and whether multi-factor correction was performed or not. Publication bias was not observed in the included studies.
CONCLUSIONS: A high level of physical activity is dramatically associated with a reduced risk of premenstrual syndrome among female college students.
方法:从PubMed,WebofScience,和Embase数据库。使用比值比(OR)和95%置信区间(CI)评估体力活动与经前综合征风险之间的联系。对纳入研究的异质性进行了测试,并通过亚组分析探索了其来源。进行敏感性分析以评估单个研究对合并结果的影响。对纳入的研究进行发表偏倚评估。该荟萃分析包括五项中等质量的研究。
结果:大学生的体力活动水平与经前综合征的风险呈负相关(OR[95CI]=1.46[1.09,1.96],P=.011)。根据研究区域和是否进行多因素校正进行分层后,合并结果不受影响。在纳入的研究中未观察到发表偏倚。
结论:在女大学生中,高水平的体力活动与经前综合征的风险降低显著相关。
