<![CDATA[Menarche is the first menstrual period in a woman's life and marks the end of puberty, occurring around the age of 12-14. Early menarche is associated with several factors, including nutritional status, genetics, socioeconomic status, hormonal status, and exposure to adult mass media. This study aims to determine the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and age of menarche among adolescents in the Gogagoman Community Health Center (Puskesmas). This study used a cross-sectional survey approach conducted on 55 female students who experienced menarche in January 2025, using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Most respondents were from Banda Sakti District, with the highest age being 13 years old and among them in grade VII. Most respondents had a normal BMI and age of menarche within normal limits. Based on the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, a p-value of 0.992 was obtained for the relationship between BMI and age of menarche. The conclusion is that there is no relationship between BMI and age of menarche among adolescents in the Gogagoman Community Health Center]]>
