Correlation of Body Mass Index with Regular Menstrual Cycle of Young Women

We studied if testosterone and estradiol concentrations are associated with specific female waist-to-hip ratios (WHRs) and body mass indices (BMIs). Participants were 187 young women from which waist, hips, weight, and height were measured. In addition, participants informed on which day of their menstrual cycle they were and provided a 6 mL saliva sample. Ninety-one of them were in the follicular phase and 96 in the luteal phase. Only in the fertile phase of the menstrual cycle we found a significant interaction between testosterone and estradiol affecting WHR (b±s.e.=-0.000003±0.000001; t94=-2.12, adjusted R2=-0.008, P=0.03). Women with the highest levels of both hormones had the lowest WHRs, while women with low estradiol and high testosterone showed the highest WHRs. BMI significantly increased as testosterone increased in female in their nonfertile days.

Background:Reproductive health is an important part of the health program. Several diseases that related to the reproductive system are important things to be solved such as irregular menstrual cycles. Some factors that affect the menstrual cycle are the influence of weight, physical activity, and the process of ovulation and adequate luteal function. Now, special attentions arealso emphasized on the diet behavior and stress. The purpose of this study was to know the correlation of Body Mass Index (BMI) and stress level with menstrual cycle of young women in SMK WidyaUtama Indramayu. Methods: The design of this study used an analytic survey using a cross sectional design. The instrument used is the questionnaire of Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) that has been standardized and modified. questionnaire for measuring the menstrual cycle is a question about the menstrual cycle. Body mass index (BMI) is measured by calculating body weight / TB2 in kg / m2. Result: The results showed that the Body Mass Index in Normal category (68.3%), stress level in the normal category (68.3% and menstrual cycle in the normal category (56.7%). There was a significant relationship between body mass index and cycle menstruation with a value of p = 0.000 There is a significant relationship between stress levels with the menstrual cycle with a value of p = 0.031. Conclusion: that need to be recommended are the need to control the weight so that the nutritional status will be in the ideal level, able to adapt the stress and regularly record the menstrual period in order to control the menstrual cycle.

Bone Resorption Marker

Introduction: Bone formation marker osteocalcin (OC) and bone resorption marker C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX) can be used to detect or to monitor the early responses of the skeleton to physical activity. Literature suggests that it is likely that higher body mass index (BMI) has positive effect on bones and can postpone onset of osteoporosis.Aim of the Study: The aim of this study is to:1.Determine the effect of aerobic physical acitivity on OC and CTX in young women2.Investigate correlation of OC, CTX and BMI in young women engaged into structured aerobic excerciseMaterial and methods: Study included 64 healthy young women, aged 19 to 25 years, devided into two groups: intervention group (n=32) and control group (n=32). The study duration was six weeks with follow-up period of four weeks. The intervention group underwent structured aerobic physical activity program for six weeks, but the control group did not receive such program. Level of OC, CTX and BMI were measured at baseline, after 6-week aerobic program, and after 4-week follow up (only intervention group).Results: There was significant increase of OC level after 6-week aerobic program, while level of CTX did not changed. OC level was at its maximum immediately after finishing the program in the participants with normal BMI (p<0.001). There was no statistically significant interaction of BMI and CTX level.Conclusion: Aerobic physical activity increases level of osteocalcin, suggesting that it has positive influence on bone formation in young women, primarily in women with normal BMI.
