Prevalence and Risk Factors of Menstrual Disorders in Korean Women.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSome women experience menstrual disorders such as polymenorrhea, oligomenorrhea, and menorrhagia, which are not only influenced by biological factors but also by lifestyle and psychosocial factors. Understanding menstrual disorders is essential for women's health and quality of life.
objectivesTo identify policies that are needed to prevent menstrual disorders, we investigated the prevalence and risk factors of menstrual disorders in this study.
methodsA web-based questionnaire survey evaluated menstrual characteristics and biological, lifestyle, and psychosocial risk factors in 13,943 South Korean females aged 15-45 years. A Chi-square test was used to compare the prevalence of menstrual disorders by general and psychosocial characteristics. A logistic regression analysis was utilized to determine odds ratios (ORs) of risk factors for menstrual disorders. Adjusted ORs of the risk factors for menstrual disorders, after adjusting for other risk factors, were calculated.
resultsThe prevalence of polymenorrhea, oligomenorrhea, and menorrhagia was 3.1%, 9.0%, and 5.4%, respectively. A significantly high prevalence of menstrual disorders was associated with the following risk factors: underweight (OR: 1.291) and current smoking (OR: 1.516) for polymenorrhea; overweight (OR: 1.354), obesity (OR: 2.164), current drinking (OR: 1.170), depression (OR: 1.416), and perceived stress (OR: 1.248) for oligomenorrhea; and depression (OR: 1.521) for menorrhagia.
conclusionsThis cross-sectional study highlighted that menstrual disorders are significantly associated with lifestyle habits and psychosocial factors in South Korean women. These findings can serve as scientific evidence to support public health initiatives aimed at enhancing awareness and menstrual health management among women.
