Perilaku Makan dengan Kejadian Sindrom Premenstruasi pada Remaja
Abstract: Problems commonly
encountered by teenagers in relation to menstruation are dysmenorrheal and
premenstrual syndrome. Some recent studies reveal that micronutrients (calcium,
magnesium and vitamin D) have an important role in causing disorder of mood and
behavior during premenstruation. Teenagers generally consume foods with low
nutrients and have a diet that causes lack of nutrient intake leading to
menstrual disorder.
Objective: To identify the association between eating behavior and the
prevalence of premenstrual syndrome in teenagers at District of Purworejo.
Method: This was a case control study with quantitative approach. Subject
of the study were students of SMKN 3 and SMAN I Purworejo. Analysis stage I was
made to identify the prevalence of premenstrual syndrome (n=749). Analysis
stage II was made to identify the association between eating behavior and the
prevalence of premenstrual syndrome; the comparison between samples of cases
and control was 1:1 (n=160).
Result: The prevalence of premenstrual syndrome in teenagers was 24.6%.
The test in eating behavior and premenstrual syndrome showed the result was
statistically significant. When variable of stress was controlled, the risk for
premenstrual syndrome was 2.3 times greater. The result of logistic regression
analysis on nutrient intake showed that fat and potassium had the most dominant
effect to the incidence of premenstrual syndrome with standardized coefficient
value as much as 0.7982 and 0.7834 subsequently.
Conclusion: Unhealthy eating behavior increased risk for premenstrual
syndrome 2.3 times greater. Intake of fat and potassium most dominantly
affected premenstrual syndrome.
