Background: Menstruation is a natural physiological process that indicates the functional maturity of the female reproductive system. Menstrual cycle disorders can be influenced by several factors, including stress and obesity. Stress may cause hormonal changes through the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, leading to decreased luteinizing hormone (LH) levels and menstrual irregularities. Obesity can also affect ovarian function and disrupt the menstrual cycle. Objective: To determine the relationship between stress and obesity with menstrual cycle disorders among female adolescents at SMAN 1 Majene in 2026. Methods: This study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. Data on stress levels, obesity status, and menstrual cycle disorders were collected simultaneously from 84 female respondents. The chi-square test was used to analyze the relationships among variables. Results: The analysis showed a significant relationship between stress and menstrual cycle disorders (p = .006; α < .05). A significant relationship was also found between obesity and menstrual cycle disorders (p = .002; α < .05). Many obese respondents experienced irregular menstrual cycles. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between stress and obesity with menstrual cycle disorders among female adolescents at SMAN 1 Majene.

Menstrual cycle disorders can negatively impact athletic performance. A combination of irregular eating patterns and intense training can increase the risk of such disturbances. Factors influencing menstrual cycle irregularities include nutritional status, physical activity, dietary habits, stress levels, smoking, hormonal medication use, and endocrine disorders. A study conducted in Semarang found that 28.8% of female athletes experienced menstrual cycle issues. This research aims to investigate how physical activity and food intake affect menstrual cycle disorders among adolescent volleyball athletes in Kudus Regency. The methodology employed was an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional approach, selecting 46 respondents using purposive sampling techniques. The IPAQ and SQFFQ questionnaires were used as research instruments. Data were analyzed using bivariate analysis with the Chi-Square test. The results indicated that the majority of athletes had a high level of physical activity (76.1%), while 50% were categorized as having severe food intake deficits. Additionally, 78.3% of athletes experienced menstrual cycle disturbances, which included 36 individuals. Bivariate analysis revealed that physical activity influenced the menstrual cycle of adolescent volleyball athletes (p-value = 0.045), and dietary intake also had an effect (p-value = 0.000). Therefore, both physical activity and eating patterns significantly impact menstrual cycle disorders among adolescent volleyball athletes.

Menstrual cycle abnormalities are one of the reproductive health problems that are commonly experienced by adolescent girls, especially in the early days after menarche. These disorders can affect quality of life, including discomfort during activities, risk of anemia, and potential fertility disorders. A preliminary study at SMA Negeri 4 Pandeglang showed that 7 out of 10 grade XI students experienced menstrual cycle abnormalities, while there was no special program related to reproductive health in schools. This study aims to analyze factors related to menstrual cycle abnormalities, namely stress levels, diet, and physical activity. The research design used was quantitative with a Cross Sectional approach, involving 70 respondents who were selected through the Purposive Sampling technique. Data collection was carried out through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-Square statistical test. The results of the analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between stress (p=0.011), diet (p=0.021), and physical activity (p=0.015) with menstrual cycle abnormalities. These findings confirm the importance of educational interventions in the school setting to improve adolescents' understanding of reproductive health and encourage healthy lifestyles.
