Abstract in brief

This study investigates how different eating habits, especially a snacks-heavy diet, are linked to the chances of experiencing painful menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea) among female university students.
The researchers identified three main dietary patterns—Lactovegetarian, Snacks, and Mixed food items—and found that students who frequently followed the snacks pattern had a significantly higher risk of suffering from moderate to severe menstrual pain.
The findings suggest that limiting snack-based foods might help reduce menstrual pain severity, highlighting the role of nutrition in managing dysmenorrhea.]
