Abstract
We investigated through questionnaire the relationship between the unspecific symptoms that occur periodically preceding menstruation (PMS) and habitual behavior for 757 working females (23-26 years of age), graduates from a university in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo. Our finding are as follows :
(1) Unspecific symptoms preceding menstruation were observed in more than 90.0% of the females. There observed more psychological complains among the females having unspecific symptoms more frequently.
(2) A high proportion of the females with frequent unspecific symptoms showed irregularity of menstruation, sensitiveness to the cold, tendency of catching a cold and anemia.
(3) A high proportion of the females with frequent unspecific symptoms showed such habitual behaviors as late-morning attendance at office, late-night supper and want of sleeping.
These observations suggest that the working females who complain unspecific symtoms more frequently are in undesirable health condition resulted from their irregular habitual behavior.
