Abstract

Background: There are several risk factors for dysmenorrhea, including high body mass index (BMI) and lack of exercises. The study's goal was to determine the relationship between routine exercises and body mass index with the levels of primary dysmenorrhea pain in young women. Methods: This study was conducted among 514 young women in Surakarta used a cross-sectional design. Inclusion criteria were females aged 15–24 years with regular menstruation and no use of medications affecting the menstrual cycle, while exclusion criteria included a history of reproductive organ surgery, ongoing treatments affecting the cycle, or abnormal uterine bleeding. This study used questionnaires developed by the researcher to collect patients’ characteristics, pain level, and frequency of exercise data. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square Test. Results: The majority of respondents were aged 17–18 years, experienced menarche at 12–14 years, had normal BMI, and reported primary dysmenorrhea with moderate pain intensity. The Chi-square test between routine exercises and degrees of dysmenorrhea showed a value of p-value < 0.001, and between BMI and degrees of dysmenorrhea showed a value of p-value = 0.537, where the results of the Chi-square test was different between them. The routine exercise was related to the levels of primary dysmenorrhea pain, but the BMI was not related to the levels of primary dysmenorrhea pain. Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between routine exercises with the degrees of primary dysmenorrhea pain, but no significant relationship was found between BMI and degrees of primary dysmenorrhea pain.

Abstract

Rendahnya asupan yodium berhubungan dengan ekskresi yodium urine (EYU) yang tidak normal. Asupan yodium yang terlalu rendah juga menyebabkan kelenjar tiroid tidak mampu mempertahankan sekresi hormon yang adekuat sehingga timbul hipertrofi tiroid yang menimbulkan goiter. Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji hubungan asupan yodium, EYU, dan goiter pada wanita usia subur (WUS) di daerah endemis defisiensi yodium. Penelitian observasional potong lintang ini dilakukan pada 115 WUS di Kecamatan Prambanan Sleman yang dipilih secara random. Asupan yodium diukur menggunakan metode food recall 24 jam, EYU diukur dengan metode acid digestion, dan goiter diukur dengan cara palpasi. Hubungan antarvariabel dianalisis dengan uji kai kuadrat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan subjek dengan asupan yodium kurang sebanyak 83,5% dan asupan yodium cukup sebanyak 16,5%. Subjek dengan goiter sebanyak 13% dan tanpa goiter sebanyak 87%. Subjek defisiensi yodium sebanyak 15,7% (tingkat berat 2,6%; tingkat sedang 3,5%; tingkat ringan 9,6%), yang normal sebanyak 31,3%, sedangkan yang lebih sebanyak 20,8% dan ekses sebanyak 32,2%. Asupan yodium berhubungan dengan EYU, tetapi goiter tidak berhubungan dengan asupan yodium dan EYU. The low iodine intake, associated with insufficiency of urinary iodine concentration (UIC). Iodine intake is too low, also causes the thyroid gland is unable to maintain adequate hormone secretion, influence the thyroid hypertrophy that causes goitre. This study aimed to examine the relationship of iodine intake, UIC, and goiter on women of childbearing age in endemic areas of iodine deficiency. This cross-sectional observational study was performed 115 randomly selected women of childbearing age at sub-district of Prambanan, Sleman Regency. Iodine intake was measured using 24-hour food recall method, UIC measured by acid digestion method, and goiter measured by palpation method.The association between variables.
