Correlational research was conducted to determine the relationship between nutritional status and exercise levels of female students at SMA 2 Lubuk Pakam located in Hamparan Perak No. 40, Lubuk Pakam - Deli Serdang, North Sumatra. The sample taken in this study was 20 female students. The study was conducted in Lubuk Pakam District - Deli Serdang, North Sumatra. To perform this sampling, questionnaires were distributed, body mass index (BMI) was calculated, and participants' height and weight were measured. Conclusions from the findings: There is a relationship between a person's healthy diet and the risk of developing dysmenorrhea. The count is equal to 0.789, and the table is equal to 5.773. There is a relationship between exercising regularly and not experiencing dysmenorrhea. The count is 0.668, while the table value is 0.4438. If count 10.431> ftable> 3.88, then Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, which indicates that there is a strong relationship between X1 and X2 together with Y. If Ho is rejected. Ha is accepted, then there is a relationship between Nutritional Status and Exercise together with Dysmenorrhea. Based on the hypothesis explained above, it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between the independent factor and the dependent variable.
