Sumatera Barat merupakan provinsi tiga tertinggi gangguan siklus menstruasi di Indonesia, dengan prevalensi sebesar 19,1% (3).</em></p><p><strong><em>Tujuan: </em></strong><em>Penelitian ini bertujuan<strong> </strong></em><em>untuk mengetahui hubungan antara jumlah asupan makronutrien dan kadar lemak tubuh dengan siklus menstruasi pada mahasiswi Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Andalas.</em></p><p><strong><em>Metode: </em></strong><em>Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasional dengan desain penelitian cross sectional. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Andalas pada bulan November 2021-September 2022, dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 78 orang. Sampel diperoleh secara sistematis berdasarkan interval sampel. Pengumpulan data dilakukan secara langsung dengan cara pemeriksaan fisik dan pengisian kuesioner. Analisis bivariat dilakukan dengan uji t-independen dan analisis multivariat dilakukan dengan regresi logistik.</em></p><p><strong><em>Hasil: </em></strong><em>Hasil penelitian menyatakan bahwa 42,3% mahasiswi memiliki siklus menstruasi tidak normal</em>, <em>rerata jumlah asupan makronutrien (kalori total, karbohidrat, lemak, protein) dan kadar lemak tubuh mahasiswi adalah 2725,40±269,90 kkal, 378,86±40,70 gram, 90,58±14,40 gram, 98,54±11,36 gram, dan 36,19±7,02%. Uji T-independen menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara jumlah asupan makronutrien (kalori total, karbohidrat, lemak, protein) dan kadar lemak tubuh dengan siklus menstruasi (p=0,000, 0,016, 0,005, 0,028, 0,000). Uji regresi logistik menunjukkan bahwa kadar lemak tubuh merupakan faktor yang paling dominan berhubungan dengan siklus menstruasi (p=0,000).</em></p><p><strong><em>Kesimpulan: </em></strong><em>Adanya hubungan yang bermakna antara<strong> </strong>j</em><em>umlah asupan makonutrien dan kadar lemak tubuh dengan siklus mentruasi. Serta, kadar lemak tubuh merupakan faktor yang paling dominan berhubungan dengan siklus menstruasi.</em></p><p align="right"><em> </em></p><p><strong>KATA KUNCI<em>: </em></strong><em>a</em><em>supan makronutrien; kadar lemak tubuh; siklus menstruasi</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p align="center"><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p><strong><em>Background: </em></strong><em>Indonesian Basic Health Research 2010 state that 13.7% of women in Indonesia with irregular menstrual cycles, 7,7% caused by lifestyle factors.

The independent sample T-test showed a significant relationship between of macronutrient intake (calories, carbohydrate, fat, protein) and body fat percentage with menstrual cycle (p=0,000, 0,016, 0.005, 0,028, and 0,000).
