Abstract
Background: Results of the Riskesdas Nasional 2010 stated that as many as 13.7% of Indonesian women experienced menstrual cycle disorders. Menstrual cycle disorders in women, particularly in adolescent girls, needs special attention because they can have a long-term impact on their reproductive health. The most influential cause of menstrual cycle disorders is hormonal imbalance. This may be caused by several factors, including obesity. Therefore, this research is conducted to analyze the relationship between obesity and menstrual cycle disorders in adolescent girls. Method: This is observational analytic research with a cross-sectional research design. In 2021, 7th and 8th grade adolescent girls at SMP Al-Izzah International Islamic Boarding School Batu were sampled using the total sampling technique. A questionnaire with multiple questions about characteristics, nutritional status, and the menstrual cycle was used to gather the information needed for this research. Result: From a total of 202 respondents who filled out the research questionnaire, 19.8% were obese and 43.1% had menstrual cycle disorders. As many as 65% of 40 obese respondents suffered from menstrual cycle disorders. Hypothesis testing reveals a significant relationship between obesity and menstrual cycle disorders in adolescent girls (p = 0.002). Conclusion: Obesity influences the occurrence of menstrual cycle disorders in adolescent girls, and obese adolescent girls are up to 3.075 times more likely to have menstrual cycle disorders than non-obese adolescent girls.
