New Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorders Study Findings Recently Were Published by a Researcher at University of Illinois Chicago [Late Luteal Subphase Food Craving Is Enhanced in Women with Obesity and Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)].

A recent study conducted at the University of Illinois Chicago examined the relationship between food cravings, abdominal obesity, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) in women. The study found that women with abdominal obesity and PMDD experienced enhanced food cravings during the late luteal subphase of their menstrual cycle. The researchers suggest that there may be shared neurobiology between abdominal obesity and PMDD, which should be further explored in future studies. This information may be useful for individuals interested in understanding the complex relationship between weight-related behaviors and menstrual health. [Extracted from the article]
