Sementara tingkat kecukupan lemak mayoritas tergolong normal. Usia menarche subjek menurut uji Chi-Square signifikan lebih cepat pada subjek PMS daripada subjek non-PMS (p<0,05). Hasil uji Mann Whitney menunjukkan tingkat stres subjek PMS signifikan lebih tinggi daripada subjek non-PMS (p<0,05). Hasil uji Pearson menunjukkan terdapat hubungan signifikan antara tingkat stres dengan PMS (p=0,000, r=0,432). Hasil uji Spearman juga menunjukkan konsumsi fast food berhubungan signifikan dengan PMS (p=0,000, r=0,338)., Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a combination of physical and emotional symptoms experienced by women in the 2-14 days before menstruation and ends after menstruation begins.
