Background: Moderate-to-severe premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is one of the most common health problems experienced by 20-72% of adolescent 15-18 years in Indonesia. PMS can cause a variety of substantial negative effects on daily living activities and quality of life. One of the most influential factors on PMS is dietary pattern, especially food that contains high sugars, sodium, and saturated fat.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the differences of high sugars, sodium, and saturated fat dietary pattern between adolescent girls with moderate-to-severe PMS and non PMS.

Methods: The design of this study was a cross-sectional study. The number of samples for PMS group and non PMS group were 33 people for each. The PMS data were collected by SPAF, while the dietary patterns was measured using FFQ. Statistical analyses were conducted using the Mann-Whitney U-test.

Results: The result showed that there were significant differences in the high sugars (p=0.000), sodium (p=0.000), and saturated fat (p=0.000) dietary pattern between adolescent girls with moderate-to-severe PMS and Non-PMS.

Conclusion: There were differences in high sugars, sodium, and saturated fat dietary pattern between adolescent girls with moderate-to-severe PMS and Non-PMS. This study recommends for adolescent who experienced SPM to maintain their food intake by reducing the consumption of these three types of food and increasing the consumption of balanced nutritious foods.
