Nutritional status were measured using anthropometric measurement, and frequency consumption junk food were measured using SQ-FFQ (Semi Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire), and dysmenorrhea status were measured using likert scale questionnaire (never – always). In this study, data analysis used Spearman correlation test.
Results: The results showed that 57.1% female students consumed junk food frequently and 51.4% of female students had fat in junk food intake ≥ 48.7 g, and 54.3% female students had normal nutritional status. There was no correlation between frequency of junk food consumption (p=0.099), and nutritional status (p=0.949) with dysmenorrhea among students of Ar-Rayyan Surabaya Junior High School.
Conclusions: The conclusion of this study are there is no correlation between frequency of junk food consumption and nutritional status with incidence of dysmenorrhea.
