Introduction: Early menarche age is associated with an increase in body mass index. Nutrient intake also affects the sexual maturity of adolescent girls. Adolescent girls who get early menarche tend to have more weight and height than those who have not. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between nutritional status and age of menarche at SMP Negeri 6 Palu. Methods: This study uses a cross sectional approach, a sample of 45 people from March to July 2020 using purposive sampling technique, measuring nutritional status using BMI and data analysis using chi square. The results showed that there was no relationship between nutritional status and age at menarche, p-value 0.542. The age at which menarche occurs is not affected by either being thin, normal or obese. It is advisable for young women to eat a balanced diet to maintain a healthy nutritional status during menarche. Inadequate nutrition will interfere not only with growth and organ function, but also reproductive function, especially menstrual disorders.
