title: Relationship between premenstrual tension syndrome and anxiety in Chinese adolescents.
abstract: This study examined the relationship between anxiety and premenstrual tension syndrome.

The high level of trait anxiety found in this sample was related to an increase in premenstrual tension symptoms.
