Abstract

Aim: Relating the symptoms of the premenstrual period with dietary intake and nutritional status in university women of Guarapuava, Paraná, Brazil. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with 141 women aged between 20 and 42 years. Data collection was conducted with a questionnaire containing demographic information, symptoms related to premenstrual syndrome (symptom frequency, duration, intensity, symptoms that have a greater impact on the woman’s day-to-day), anthropometric and food consumption data. The results were expressed through descriptive statistics and tests. Results: The mean age was 23.74±4.76 years, 65.2% (n=92) of the participants were classified as normal weight, most reported having behavioral changes during the premenstrual period, and 47% (n=67) reported being dissatisfied with their body image, 89.3% (n=126) had insomnia, 84.3% (n=119) had irritability. and 83.6% (n=118) experienced emotional instability. Regarding feeding behavior, 62.4% (n=88) of the participants had increased appetite. The foods most consumed daily throughout the menstrual period were cereals 92.2% (n=130), candy 41.1% (n=58), and chocolate 35.5% (n=50). Conclusion: Face the premenstrual symptoms reported by university women in this research, it is possible to conclude that there were changes in food consumption. There was no change in the nutritional status because not all the changes in the premenstrual period influence body composition alterations. Thus, it is necessary that Nutrition professionals are always attentive to these food consumption changes, to properly guide them to a healthy diet and to ensure adequate nutritional status and quality of life for university women.
