The problem of the menstrual disorder is also common among adolescent girls as 13.5% of Indonesian women aged 10-59 years had an irregular menstrual cycle. This research aims to investigate the relationship between nutritional status and macronutrient intake and menstrual disorders at adolescent girls. The study design was a cross-sectional with chisquare test. A total of 114 convenience sample was recruited from high school girls at grade 1 and 2 who attended Islamic Boarding School. The collected data was macronutrient intakes, body weight, height, and menstrual disorders which respectively using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire, a weighing scale and a microtoice, and a self-administrative questionnaire. The results showed that the majority of school girls reported menstrual disorders (61.4%). A significant relationship between inadequate fat intake and menstrual disorders (p=0,033) was discovered. Meanwhile, no significant relationship was found between carbohydrate intake (p=0,348), protein intake (p=0,667), and nutritional status (p=0,178) and menstrual disorders. The researchers concluded that inadequate macronutrient intakes and menstrual disorders could be the critical nutrition and reproductive health issues to be addressed among adolescent girls at a boarding school setting.

Methodology: The study adopts analytical cross-sectional design with sample size 1500 involving 11 to 17 year school going adolescents and carried out in Eastern Development Region of Nepal during August to December 2016. Multistage probability sampling technique was used to draw the sample and validated self-report SDQ was used to estimat...
