In this study, we investigated the association between childhood maltreatment history and PMS among young women in Japan. In a Japanese city, we approached 3815 women aged 10\u201360 years who visited a gynecology clinic and one general practice clinic. A questionnaire on childhood maltreatment history and PMS was administered to them. We observed that women with histories of childhood maltreatment demonstrated a significantly increased risk of PMS compared with those without such histories (odds ratio: 1.47, 95% confidence interval: 1.20\u20131.81). Particularly, women with childhood physical or emotional abuse demonstrated a stronger association with PMS, whereas other forms of childhood maltreatment (emotional neglect, witnessing of intimate-partner violence, or sexual abuse) were not associated with PMS. Our results illustrate that childhood maltreatment may be a risk factor for PMS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph18020781","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,19]],"date-time":"2021-01-19T04:55:31Z","timestamp":1611032131000},"page":"781","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Association between Childhood Maltreatment History and Premenstrual Syndrome"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Kanako","family":"Ito","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cocokara Women\u2019s Clinic, Nagoya 461-0001, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Global Health Promotion, Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU), Tokyo 113-8519, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Satomi","family":"Doi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Global Health Promotion, Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU), Tokyo 113-8519, Japan"},{"name":"Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Tokyo 102-0083, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aya","family":"Isumi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Global Health Promotion, Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU), Tokyo 113-8519, Japan"},{"name":"Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Tokyo 102-0083, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1074-3954","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Takeo","family":"Fujiwara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Global Health Promotion, Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU), Tokyo 113-8519, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"58","DOI":"10.1016\/j.whi.2009.09.005","article-title":"Explorative evaluation of the impact of severe premenstrual disorders on work absenteeism and productivity","volume":"20","author":"Heinemann","year":"2010","journal-title":"Womens Health Issues"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1200","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(08)60527-9","article-title":"Premenstrual syndrome","volume":"371","author":"Yonkers","year":"2008","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"909","DOI":"10.1080\/08870446.2013.765004","article-title":"PMS as a process of negotiation: Women\u2019s experience and management of premenstrual distress","volume":"28","author":"Ussher","year":"2013","journal-title":"Psychol.
