The research design employed is observational with a cross-sectional approach, involving 52 female patients diagnosed with endometriosis through laparoscopy. Data were collected on demographic characteristics, BMI, and endometriosis stages based on the rASRM classification. The results indicate that the majority of respondents fell into the normal to overweight BMI categories, with a predominance of stage IV endometriosis in this population. Chi-Square testing revealed no significant relationship between BMI and endometriosis stage, with a p-value of 0.298. This indicates that BMI status does not serve as a reliable indicator for assessing the severity of endometriosis stages.\nDownloads\nPublished\nIssue\nSection\nLicense\nCopyright (c) 2026 Adi Putra Wijaya, Hendy Hendarto, Irwin Priyatna Kusumah\nThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.\nAuthors who publish with this journal agree to the following terms:\n- Authors retain copyright and grant the journal right of first publication with the work simultaneously licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC-BY-SA). that allows others to share the work with an acknowledgement of the work's authorship and initial publication in this journal.\n- Authors are able to enter into separate, additional contractual arrangements for the non-exclusive distribution of the journal's published version of the work (e.g., post it to an institutional repository or publish it in a book), with an acknowledgement of its initial publication in this journal.\n- Authors are permitted and encouraged to post their work online (e.g., in institutional repositories or on their website) prior to and during the submission process, as it can lead to productive exchanges, as well as earlier and greater citation of published work.","source_license":"CC0","license_restricted":false}
