Çalışma, bir devlet üniversitesi hazırlık sınıfında öğrenim gören kız öğrencilerin, menarş yaşı ve etkileyen faktörleri incelemek amacıyla
tanımlayıcı-kesitsel olarak yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini 2014-2015 eğitim öğretim yılındaki Şubat 2014- Mayıs 2015 tarihleri arasında
bir devlet üniversitesinin yabancı diller yüksekokulunda öğrenim gören kız öğrenciler oluşturmuştur. Örneklem seçimine gidilmeksizin
evren üzerinde çalışılmıştır. Çalışma, araştırmaya katılmada gönüllü, onam veren 738 kız öğrenci üzerinde gerçekleştirildi. Verilerin
toplanmasında anket formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin menarş yaşı ortalamasının 13,3±1,12 (10-17) olduğu, menarş
yaşı ile beden kütle indeksi karşılaştırıldığında aralarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0,001). Öğrencilerin
menstrüasyon düzeni ile kilo değişikliği karşılaştırıldığında aralarında anlamlı farklılık olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0,05). Öğrencilerin
kilosu ve beden kütle indeksi arttıkça menarş yaşının düştüğü menstrüasyon döngüsü süresinin de arttığı tespit edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin
menstrüasyon düzenini etkileyen faktörler araştırılmış ve sadece kilo değişikliğinin menstrüasyon düzenini etkilediği belirlenmiştir.
Araştırmada, beden kütle indeksi ile menarş yaşı arasında anlamlı sonuç saptanmıştır.

Öz

The study was conducted as descriptive-sectional to investigate the age of menarche and the influencing factors of female students studying
in the preparatory class of a state university. The universe of this research was the female students between February 2014-May 2015 in
school of foreign languages at a state university. The study was held with all universe instead of sampling selection. 738 female students
were voluntary participated into the study. Data were collected by the survey form. The menarche age of the participants is 13,3±1,12
(10-17) years old, and there is statistically significance between menarche age and body mass index (p<.001). The other statistically
significance was available between menstrual period and weight change (p<.05). It has been found that the menarche age decreases as the
students’ weight and BMI increases and the duration of the menstruation cycle increases. Factors affecting students’ menstruation order
were investigated and it was determined that only weight change affects menstruation order. In the study, significant results were found
between body mass index and age of menarche.
