Abstract

The menstrual cycle is the time between the beginning of menstruation in the previous period and the onset of the next period. One of the factors that affect the menstrual cycle is nutritional intake and nutritional status. This study aims to determine the importance of nutritional intake and nutritional status on the menstrual cycle in adolescents. This article uses a selection method based on the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) diagram, in accordance with the inclusion criteria and predetermined keywords, and identified 10 articles to be analyzed. Based on the 10 articles analyzed, it was found that most show the importance of nutritional intake and nutritional status in affecting the regularity of the menstrual cycle. Several articles also demonstrate a relationship between both micro and macro nutritional intake and nutritional status on the menstrual cycle in adolescent girls. Nutritional intake and nutritional status play an important role in the regularity of adolescent menstrual cycles. These findings have important implications for public health policy, suggesting the need for comprehensive nutritional education programs targeting adolescent girls, healthcare providers, and educators. The evidence supports the development of school-based nutrition interventions and clinical guidelines for managing menstrual irregularities through nutritional approaches. Moreover, there is a clear relationship between nutritional intake and nutritional status and the menstrual cycle.

Abstract

Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that often progresses silently but significantly affects the psychosocial well-being of adult patients. If unmanaged, it may lead to complications and decreased quality of life. This systematic literature review aims to explore the psychosocial impact of hypertension, both at the moment of diagnosis and throughout long-term management among adult patients. The study employed a systematic review method, following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Five primary quantitative studies published between 2015 and 2025 were analysed. The review was structured into two focal points: (1) psychological distress experienced upon diagnosis, and (2) chronic psychosocial stress in adults living with hypertension. The results showed that individuals with high psychosocial stress had an 8.198-fold higher likelihood of being diagnosed with hypertension. Contributing factors included poor sleep quality, low physical activity, and lack of social support. Additionally, prolonged distress such as anger, depression, and past trauma was significantly associated with poor blood pressure control, nonadherence to therapy, and decreased self-care. Patients with uncontrolled hypertension had a sixfold increased risk of experiencing hypertension-related distress. These findings highlight the urgency of integrating psychosocial screening and emotional support into routine hypertension management, especially at the primary care level.
