Research Question: What is the contribution of sociodemographic, psychosocial, lifestyle and reproductive factors up to the age of 11-12 years to the occurrence of dysmenorrhoea at age 15-16 years within the Amsterdam Born Children and their Development (ABCD) study?
Design: Data of 1038 female adolescents were used. Participants' baseline characteristics were obtained using self-reported questionnaires up to the age of 11-12 years, as well as the obstetric information of their mothers during pregnancy. Dysmenorrhoea was assessed at the age of 15-16 years, and was deemed to be present if an adolescent reported menstrual abdominal and/or back pain and therefore took medication and/or hormonal contraception.
Background: Coronary vasomotor dysfunction, comprising endotypes of coronary spasm and/or impaired microvascular dilatation (IMD), is common in patients with angina and no obstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA). However, there are discrepant reports regarding the prevalence of these endotypes. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of coronary vasomotor dysfunction in patients with ANOCA, underlying endotypes, and differences in clinical characteristics.

However, no data are available in patients with ischemia and nonobstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA).
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the relationship of Q and R with the established CFR/IMR in INOCA patients, to explore the potential of absolute Q, and to predict self-reported angina.
