The results showed dysmenorrheal samples of 80.9%. The highest number of fast food consumed by samples is 8 species and at least 2 types for one month, fast food type is not significantly related to dysmenorrhea (p = 0,124). The average amount of fat from fast food consumption is 20.11 gr. The amount of fast food did not correlate significantly with the incidence of dysmenorrhea (p = 0.342). Frequency of fast food consumption most often that is 17 times in a week and the most rarely that is 1 times in a week. Fast food frequency did not correlate significantly with dysmenorrhea (p = 0.352). A total of 71 samples (79.8%) were rarely exercised and 18 samples (20.2%) were classified as frequent. Sports habits were significantly associated with dysmenorrhea incidence in adolescents (p = 0.017).
