Abstract


Background: Adolescence is the transition from childhood to adult marked by the functioning of the productive organs. Optimal nutritional intake plays a role in hormone activity, including reducing the incidence of premenstrual syndrome. This study aims to determine the relationship between percent body fat, adequate intake of carbohydrates, protein, and calcium on the incidence of premenstrual syndrome.

Methode: This study used a cross sectional research desaign with an analytic observational research type. The study was conducted at SMP Negeri 9 Purwokerto in May-June 2021. The number of samples obtained 58 people who were taken using a simple random sampling technique and based on inclusion criteria, namely adolescents aged 12-14 years who were already menstruting. The research instruments used included the sPAF questionnaire to see the incidence of premenstrual syndrome, BIA to measure the percent body fat, and the SQ-FFQ questionnaire to obtain data on carbohydrate, protein, and calcium intake. Data analysis using Spearman Rank Test.

Result: There was no correlation between body fat percentage and incidence of premenstrual syndrome (p>0,05). There was no correlation between adequate carbohydrate intake and the incidence of premenstrual syndrome (p>0,05). There was no correlation between adequate protein intake and the incidence of premenstrual syndrome (p>0,05). There was no correlation between adequate carbohydrate intake and the incidence of premenstrual syndrome (p>0,05).

Conclusion: There are no corellation between body fat percentage, adequate intake of carbohydrates, protein, and calcium on the incidence of premenstrual syndrome.
