<p><em>Dysmenorrhea is a most common problem of women in reproductive age during menstruation period. </em><em>Female college students are vulnerable of dysmenorrhea because the highest prevalence of dysmenorrhea found at  age range of 20-24 years. Dysmenorrhea could influenced  students academic performance and daily activities</em><em>. </em><em><em>The purpose of this study is to investigate factors associated with dysmenorrhea. </em></em><em>This study implemented cross-sectional design using systematic random sampling, and analyzed using multivariate methods in term of multiple logistic regression. Data were collected from 148 students at age range of 17-25 years in Faculty of Medicine University of Andalas.  Results showed that </em><em>physical activities, body mass  index, magnesium intake, and allergic history were associated with dysmenorrhea significantly (p&lt;0.05). Physical activities is a dominant factor of dysmenorrhea after controlled by intake of omega 3, vitamin B6, vitamin E, Zn, Cu; stress; maternal dysmenorrhea; menstrual cycle, duration, and flow. Female college students who not doing exercises or less physical activities have high potential risk of dysmenorrhea, 8.8 times higher than who doing moderate or high exercises  (p&lt;0.01).  Physical activities especially exercises and balance nutrients intake are the alternative recommended to prevent dysmenorrhea. </em></p><p> </p><p>Dismenore adalah  nyeri di daerah  rahim atau bagian bawah abdomen beberapa jam sebelum menstruasi atau saat menstruasi sampai hari ke 2 atau ke 3. Dismenore merupakan gejala utama yang dikeluhkan wanita usia subur ketika mengalami menstruasi. Mahasiswi merupakan kelompok yang rentan menderita dismenore karena prevalensi tertinggi kejadian dismenore ditemukan pada usia 20-24 tahun. Dismenore akan berdampak pada performa akademik dan rutinitas harian mahasiswi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat determinan faktor dismenore dan faktor dominan yang mempengaruhinya. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross sectional dengan jumlah sampel 148 orang dengan metode sistematik random sampling pada mahasisiwi Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Andalas usia 17-25 tahun. Data dianalisis menggunakan metode analisis multivariat regresi logistik ganda. Dari hasil analisis terlihat adanya hubungan  signifikan  antara aktivitas fisik, satatus gizi, asupan zat gizi mikro (magnesium), dan riwayat alergi dengan dismenore  (p&lt;0,05). Aktivitas fisik merupakan faktor dominan yang mempengaruhi dismenore setelah dikontrol oleh asupan omega 3, vitamin E, Zn, Cu; stress; riwayat dismenore ibu, siklus menstruasi, lama dan laju menstruasi. Mahasiswi yang beraktivitas fisik rendah berisiko mengalami dismenore 8,8 kali lebih tinggi dibanding yang beraktivitas fisik sedang atau tinggi (p&lt;0.01). Aktifitas fisik terutama olahraga dan pola makan seimbang merupakan alternatif yang direkomendasikan untuk mencegah kejadian dismenore.</p>

A pro-inflammatory diet may have an adverse influence on stress and inflammatory biomarker levels among college students. The dietary inflammatory index (DII®) is a tool used to assess the inflammatory potential of a diet. However, evidence for the association between DII and stress is limited. We examined the association between energy-adjusted DII (E-DIITM), high sensitivity-C-reactive protein [hs-CRP], and stress among female college students. This cross-sectional study included 401 randomly selected female students, aged 19–35 years. Data collection included blood, anthropometric measurements, a healthy-history questionnaire, the perceived stress scale (PSS-10), the Saudi food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), and E-DII. Multiple linear regression analyses were used to examine the association between FFQ-derived E-DII score, hs-CRP, and PSS. A higher E-DII score per 1SD (1.8) was associated with a 2.4-times higher PSS score (95% CI: 1.8, 3.1). Higher hs-CRP per 1SD (3.3 mg/L) was associated with a 0.9 (95% CI: 0.7–1.1) times higher PSS score, independent of lifestyle and dietary factors. Our findings indicate that pro-inflammatory diets were highly prevalent among Saudi college students and were associated with higher stress levels. Consideration of the role of stress and focusing on anti-inflammatory foods may be key for healthier dietary habits.
