There was a significant association between packed lunch contribution (p=0.000) and energy total (p=0.000) with nutritional status among elementary school children.Conclusions: The nutritional status of elementary children is influenced by the contribution of packed lunch and daily energy total. Therefore higher contribution of packed lunch and daily energy total absoutely the children's nutritional status are also higher.ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Anak usia sekolah merupakan usia kritis yang kebutuhan energi dan zat gizinya harus tercukupi, karena pada usia ini anak mengalami tumbuh dan berkembang. Anak cenderung lebih banyak menghabiskan waktu seharian penuh di sekolah karena aturan fullday, sehingga waktu makan siang mereka juga terlewati disekolah. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan bekal makanan yang berkualitas untuk memenuhi kebutuhan makan siang di sekolah.Tujuan: Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis hubungan kontribusi bekal makanan dan total energi dengan status gizi (IMT/U) pada anak sekolah dasar di SD Muhammadiyah 4 Surabaya.Metode: Penelitian cross sectional dilakukan di SD Muhammadiyah 4 Surabaya pada bulan April-Mei 2018. Sampel pada penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas 4 dan 5 dengan jumlah 108 siswa dan dipilih secara simple random sampling. Pengumpulan data penelitian dilakukan dengan wawancara menggunakan kuesioner dan  recall selama 2 hari. Analisis hubungan yang digunakan adalah korelasi Pearson.Hasil: Rata-rata total energi siswa adalah 1614,2 kkal dengan kontribusi bekal makanan sebesar 558,7 kkal atau 27,8% dari total kebutuhan energi. Selain itu, penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa  sebanyak 45,3% siswa memiliki status gizi lebih. Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara kontribusi bekal makanan (p=0,000) dan total energi (p=0,000) dengan status gizi pada anak sekolah dasar.Kesimpulan: Status gizi anak sekolah dasar dipengaruhi oleh kontribusi bekal makanan dan total energi sehari. Sehingga semakin tinggi kontribusi bekal makanan dan total energi sehari maka status gizi anak juga semakin tinggi.

Abstract: Nutritional status problems such as undernutrition and overnutrition are still widespread in Indonesia. Nutritional status, notably overnutrition, may result in increased blood pressure through the mechanisms of increased leptin, insulin resistance, increased free fatty acids, and activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. This study was aimed to determine the relationship between nutritional status and blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) in Santo Yohanes IV Catholic Elementary School students. This was an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional design. Sampling was conducted among students at Santo Yohanes IV Catholic Elementary School from August 2016 until November 2016 using consecutive sampling method. Total samples were 152 students.. The chi-square test showed that there was a relationship between nutritional status and systolic as well as diastolic blood pressure (p=0.003). The Spearman correlation test concerning nutritional status with systolic and diastolic blood pressure showed the r values of 0.321 and 0.319, respectively. Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between nutritional status and blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) in school-aged children, however, overweight and obese children had higher risks of elevated blood pressure (systolic and diastolic).Keywords: nutrirional status, blood pressure, school-aged children Abstrak: Masalah status gizi seperti gizi kurang dan gizi lebih masih tersebar luas di Indonesia.
