 Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate and compare the dietary pattern and nutrient intake of overweight and normal weight adolescent girls.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 adolescent girls aged 18–22 years. Information regarding demographic profile and the dietary pattern was obtained using a questionnaire. Anthropometric measurements such as height, body weight, and waist circumference were measured and body fat percentage was estimated. Nutrient intake was calculated using 3 days dietary recall method. In addition, a nutrition education program was conducted to create an impact on the dietary habits.Results: The study showed that majority of the subjects in both the groups was non-vegetarians. With regards to meal skipping, 76% of the overweight girls had the habit of skipping meal and breakfast was the most common meal that was skipped. There was a significant difference in the anthropometric indices and nutrient intake between normal and overweight subjects. Subjects in both the groups were fond of eating junk foods followed by inadequate intake of fruits. Nutrition education program helped them to change their dietary habits.Conclusion: Providing nutrition education to adolescents is essential as it creates an impact on the eating habits by modifying their dietary pattern and creating awareness about the ill health effects of junk food consumption.

The Impact

Nutrition education among adolescents is lacking in Indonesian schools. Whereas adolescent girls, in particular, need adequate nutrients to prepare them for their future pregnancy which may improve their nutrition status in the long term. Therefore, this study aims to assess the impact of a teacher-led nutrition education program on the nutrition and anemia status of adolescent girls. A quasi-experimental design was applied in junior high and high schools in Bogor which compared the findings between the intervention (n=112) and the control group (n=129). Teachers in the intervention group received training on health and nutrition for adolescents and were asked to deliver nutrition education for their students for 14 weeks. The control group did not receive any exposure to the topics. The weight, height, and hemoglobin level were measured before and after the program. Paired and independent t-test statistical analysis was used to assess the impact of the intervention for continuous variables and the Chi-Square test was used for categorical data. After the program, although there were no significant improvements in BMI-for-age z-score, however, significant improvements were observed for hemoglobin level among the treatment group. This was consequently shown in the anemia status, where the prevalence of anemia was significantly lower compared to the control group (p<0.001). The findings demonstrate that teacher-led nutrition education can improve the anemia status of adolescent girls.
