Menstrual pain, menarcheal age and lifestyles in Spanish adolescents
The prevalence of menstrual pain and its relationship with developmental variables, cycle indicators and habits has been evaluated in a sample of 1147 adolescents aged 14–20. Menstrual pain was reported by 63% of the girls and automedication was the most common behaviour to combat it. Among developmental variables, only menarcheal age shows explicative power for menstrual pain, as early maturers have a significantly greater prevalence. Duration o…
Factor analysis and somatotyping, are these two physique classification methods comparable
The aim of this study was to investigate the correspondence of physique structures estimated by the Heath-Carter anthropometric somatotyping method and a factor analysis based on the same set of 10 variables used by Heath-Carter. The investigation was carried out on a group of 200 healthy young adults of 20 years of age who were students of physical education. The mean somatotype was 2.7-4.6-3.0 for the males and 3.3-3.4-3.1 for the females. The …
Influence of body mass index and slimming habits on menstrual pain and cycle irregularity
Using a cross-sectional sample of 1147 urban adolescents, aged between 14 and 20 years, the variability of some menstrual cycle indicators was related to weight loss. Nearly 40% of the adolescents tried to lose weight and the results showed that attempting to lose weight is significantly associated with increased prevalence of menstrual irregularity and menstrual pain. This finding is independent of body mass index.
