Dysmenorrhea is menstrual pain commonly experienced by women of reproductive age and may interfere with daily activities. One of the factors presumed to influence dysmenorrhea is fast food consumption. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of fast food consumption and the prevalence of dysmenorrhea among nursing students at the Faculty of Medicine, Sriwijaya University. This research employed an analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 173 respondents were selected using proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Fisher's Exact Test. The results showed that most respondents experienced dysmenorrhea (93.6%) and had a high level of fast food consumption (89.6%). The analysis yielded a p-value of 0.608 (p >a 0.05), indicating no significant relationship between the variables. However, based on the analysis of respondents' characteristics, the dominant factors among those experiencing dysmenorrhea were age, body mass index, exposure to cigarette smoke, and family history. These findings suggest that the incidence of dysmenorrhea is more influenced by physiological factors than by fast food consumption.
