Hubungan Kebiasaan Mengonsumsi Makanan Cepat Saji (Fast Food) Dengan Kejadian Dan Derajat Dismenore Pada Mahasiswi S1 Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Riau
Consuming fast food leads to excessive intake of sugar, salt, and fats. Approximately 69% of urban populations consume fast food, which is a risk factor for dysmenorrhea—lower abdominal pain (symphysis pubis) occurring before and during menstruation. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 50% of women in every country experience dysmenorrhea, leading to disrupted daily activities.
This study aims to examine the relationship between fast food consumption habits and the incidence of dysmenorrhea among undergraduate female students at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Riau. The research employs a quantitative analytical approach with a cross-sectional design. A total of 164 students were selected using simple random sampling. Data on fast food consumption habits were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire, while dysmenorrhea incidence was assessed using a Guttman scale questionnaire containing questions related to symptoms and the intensity of menstrual pain. Data analysis was conducted using bivariate analysis with the Chi-Square test.
The results indicate a significant relationship between fast food consumption habits and the occurrence of dysmenorrhea, with a p-value of 0.03. Students with high fast food consumption habits have a sevenfold increased risk of experiencing dysmenorrhea compared to those with low consumption habits. This study is expected to provide insights into the importance of healthy eating patterns in maintaining reproductive health among female students.
