The sampling technique used in this research was total sampling with the number of samples used in this research being 51 samples. Data analysis uses a computer program with a confidence level of 95%. Bivariate analysis uses chi square with α 0.05. Multiple logistic regression was used to perform multivariate analysis Results: From the results of the logistic regression analysis, a significant value of p value = 0.463>0.05 was obtained for the anemia status variable and a significant value of p value =0.848>0.05 for the BMI variable, so it can be concluded that Ho is accepted or Ha is rejected, meaning that these two variables do not exist. influence on the menstrual cycle of D III Midwifery study program students Conclusion: The suggestions that can be given here are divided into two, namely for respondents and formal institutions such as schools.
