Abstract

In developed era, the improved nutritional status, which shown by increasing BMI and body fat percentage, is associated to a decrease in menarche's. This study was aimed to analyse correlation between the nutritional status with the age of menarche. Design used in this study was cross-sectional. The location was in girl’s muslim boarding school Al-Mawaddah, district Ponorogo, with total sample 41 respondents. Samples were taken using purposive sampling, that was based from inclusion and exclusion criteria. Primary data were obtained with questionnaers and height was measured with microtoise and weight with pair of scales. The nutritional status was based on Z-score BMI-for-age (BB/TB2) from standard of WHO 2007. Data were analyzed using Spearman rho Correlation with significance level at α ≤ 0,05. The result showed that most (73%) of the students at traditional muslim boarding school had normal nutritional status, while 20% were thun, 5% overweight and 2% severely thin. The majority of student at traditional muslim school got menarche at age > 13 years old. The result from this research showed that there was relation between nutritional status and age of menarche (p: 0,001; r: -0,509). It can be concluded that the better the nutritional status, the earlier the age of menarche.It is recommended to do routine evaluation about nutritional status in muslim boarding school and to pay attention about consumption since early ages so the students at traditional muslim school would not get menarche in later time.
