Abstract

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a common condition that affects women of reproductive age. It is characterized by a wide range of physical and psychological symptoms that occur in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the existing literature on the association between PMS and body composition. The review explores the probable influence of body fat percentage, muscle mass, total body water, hormonal variations, and nutritional factors on the severity and occurrence of PMS symptoms. Understanding the interrelationship between body composition and PMS is crucial for healthcare professionals to support women in managing their symptoms and improving overall well-being.
