Fluid Retention over the Menstrual Cycle: 1-Year Data from the Prospective Ovulation Cohort
Table 1
Demographic and menstrual cycle information for 62 women with daily Menstrual Cycle Diary (MCD) data. Women were screened to be initially ovulatory and healthy. They participated in a one-year prospective study. The women are shown in two groups: normally active women did less than an hour of aerobic activity a week () and runners include those training for a marathon plus those running for health and fitness (). Data are presented as mean ± SE. Statistical analyses are by -test (age, height, weight, BMI, menarche, proportion of anovulatory cycles, and duration of MCD data), Fisher’s exact test for contingency (parity versus exercise), and nested analysis of variance (cycle length, luteal length).
