A significant portion (52.60%) of individuals with endometriosis are classified as obese. Obesity often results from a lifestyle characterized by minimal physical activity. This sedentary behavior encompasses using electronic devices, watching television, playing video games, and spending long periods sitting or reclining, all of which demand minimal energy expenditure. Consequently, excess energy is stored as body fat, leading to obesity. This research aimed to investigate the connections between sedentary habits, body mass index (BMI), and endometriosis risk in teenage girls. The study employed an observational cross-sectional approach. The research sample consisted of 102 participants, selected through purposive sampling techniques. Data analysis was conducted using the chi-squared test. The dependent variable was the risk of endometriosis, while the independent variables were sedentary lifestyle and BMI. The results of the analysis showed that the relationship between sedentary lifestyle and endometriosis risk had a p-value of 0.001, and the relationship between BMI and endometriosis risk had a p-value of 0.003. Based on the analysis results, it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between sedentary lifestyle, BMI, and the risk of endometriosis. This suggests that teenagers should modify their lifestyle and uphold healthy eating habits.
