OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between menstrual functioning and depressive disorder symptoms (DDS), obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms (OCDS), and eating disorder symptoms (EDS) in high school girls. METHOD: Survey data from a county-wide high school population (completion rate 91%) were used. Associations between menstrual indices and scores above clinical cutoff on the Beck Depression Inventory, Leyton Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Child Version, and Eating Attitudes Test were examined by using logistic regression ( = 2,547 girls). RESULTS: Controlling for chronological age and other risk factors, late menarche was associated with DDS (odds ratio [OR] = 2.26, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.16-4.18). Gynecological year 1 (GY1) was associated with DDS (OR = 3.13, CI = 1.23-7.33), EDS (OR = 3.11, CI = 1.00-8.09), and OCDS, both number (OR = 5.75, CI = 1.79-15.74) and interference (OR = 12.55, CI = 3.20-41.4). Secondary amenorrhea was associated with DDS (OR = 1.94, CI = 11.30-2.84) and EDS (OR = 2.32, CI = 1.51-3.49); polymenorrhea with EDS (OR = 1.92, CI = 1.27-2.86); and irregular cycles with EDS (OR = 1.70, CI = 1.11-2.54) and DDS (OR = 1.76, CI = 11.21-2.53). CONCLUSIONS: In high school girls, late menarche, GY1, and menstrual cycle abnormalities are associated differentially with DDS, OCDS, and EDS.
