THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE MENSTRUAL IRREGULARITY AND EATING ATTITUDE AND SOCIAL APPEARANCE ANXIETY AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

The study was conducted with descriptive and correlational design to investigate the correlation of menstrual irregularity with eating attitude and social appearance anxiety among university students. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 576 students determined according to the power analysis. The data of the study were collected by using personal information form, eating attitude test and Social Appearance Anxiety Scale. Backward Stepwise Logistic Regression analysis, and Pearson’s Correlation analysis were used to analyse the data. As a result of the logistic regression, it was suggested that experiencing menstrual irregularity in the past, having history of menstrual irregularity in the family and each unit increase in the eating attitude scale were important risk factors for menstrual irregularity in the students (p<0.005). In the study, it was determined that the eating attitudes of the students with irregular periods were worse and their social appearance anxiety was higher (p<0.005).
