College Students, Fast Food Consumption, Lifestyle, Physical Activity, Primary DysmenorrheaAbstract
Dysmenorrhea is defined as painful menstruation characterized by lower abdominal cramps occurring prior to or during menstruation. Several risk factors, including lifestyle such as physical activity and diet have been associated with primary dysmenorrhea. College students with demanding academic responsibilities are prone to adopting a poor diet and low physical activity. This study is conducted to examine the association between physical activity and fast food intake with primary dysmenorrhea in college students. A comprehensive search of literature was undertaken to find relevant peer-reviewed publications from the past five years (2021–2026). Article selection was based on the PRISMA protocol by applying specific eligibility criteria. The review findings demonstrate that most studies confirm a correlation between physical activity and fast food consumption with primary dysmenorrhea among college students. Low physical activity and high frequency fast food consumption were associated with a higher intensity of dysmenorrhea. Although several findings were statistically non-significant, these results suggest that physiological factors and individual characteristics also contribute to determining the severity and incidence of primary dysmenorrhea. Taken together, lifestyle management through regular physical activity and the restriction of fast food consumption may contribute to the prevention and management of primary dysmenorrhea among female college students.
