    Abstract:
    The objective of this study was to stablish the prevalence and severity of premenstrual symptoms in mexican women who live in a rural zone (n = 50) and in other group who live in a urban zone (n = 50). The Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ) was applied during the premenstrual and postmenstrual phases of one menstrual cycle. The 97% of the sample presented at least one premenstrual physical symptom, and the 95% of the women presented one psychological-behavioral symptom. There were not differences according with the severity of the physical symptoms between both groups of women. However, women in the urban zone reported more severe psychological-behavioral symptoms then the ones who live in the rural zone.
