Premenarche risk factors for future dysmenorrhoea: a prospective cohort study

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study followed girls before their first period to see what predicted painful periods later. It is an observational study, so it shows a link, not a cause. It has nothing to do with kidney disease and is not relevant to this digest.
