School-aged teenagers, in particular, have a habit and the pattern of food consumption is often irregular and does not pay attention to the pattern of good and balanced consumption. The condition of unbalanced consumption patterns can affect individual nutritional status. Body mass index measurement (BMI) is related to the prevalence of nutritional status in students of SMK N Pringkuku Kab. Pacitan is used as a general description of nutritional conditions within the school environment. Nutrition status data obtained from the calculation of height and weight and then calculated body mass index (BMI), and data related to healthy habits and lifestyle obtained from the filling of questionnaires by respondents. The results showed that there were students with less nutritional status, normal nutritional status, more nutritional status, and obesity were 25.44%, 58.18% 10.91% and 5.45% respectively with the condition related to sex and general breakfast habits and the frequency of eating a day showed 72.09% of students behaved well, while 27.91% of students behaved eating is not good.   Keywords: body mass index, consumption patterns, nutrition, students ABSTRAK Remaja usia sekolah khususnya memilikikebiasaan dan pola konsumsi makanan sering tidak teratur serta tidak memperhatikan pola konsumsi yang baik dan seimbang.

Body mass index (BMI) is to monitor nutritional status adults, especially those related to deficiency and overweight. Body fat percentage can describe the risk of degenerative diseases.This study was conducted to measure the relationship between BMI and body fat percentage. Methods An analytical study was conducted to 41 male and 51 female participant from Universitas Teuku Umar. The body weight was measured using scales, whereas the body height was measured using microtoise. The body fat percentage was measured using Karada Scan. The BMI was calculated by dividing the body weight in kilogram divided by body height in meter square. Data was collected from 16-18th February 2021 and analyzed by Pearson’s correlation test. The results showed BMI underweight, normal, and overweight were 10,9, 57,6, and 31,5. High body fat percentage in men were 75,6% and in women were 35,5%. There is a relationship between the nutritional status of the women group and the body fat percentage with p-value is obtained = 0.021. Furthermore, for men, there is no relationship between nutritional status in the men group and the body fat percentage. There is a relationship between nutritional status and body fat percentage in women. Among this population, BMI can still be used to determine body fat percentage

ABSTRACTBackground: Anemia is a condition characterized by low levels of hemoglobin (Hb) from normal limits. Anemia is still a public health problem. Data states that the prevalence of anemia in Indonesia in 2013 was 21.7%, with the number of sufferers known to be higher in women than men. The prevalence of anemia in the age range 15 to 24 years was 18.4%. Nutritional status shows the balance of nutrients due to the consumption, absorption, and use of nutrients that come from food in the body. A person's nutritional status can be said to be deficient if the body lacks intake of one or more essential nutrients for the body. One of the indicators for assessing a person's nutritional status is the Body Mass Index (BMI). Inadequate nutritional status will affect the nutritional status of iron in a person' s body so that it can be interpreted that nutritional status is one of the factors of anemia. Consuming foods with good nutritional value, especially foods that contain high iron will also affect the nutritional status of these adolescents so that the risk of suffering from anemia will decrease.Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between body mass index and anemia among young women in Indonesia.Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study. The data used are secondary data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) 5. The population of this study was all Indonesians who participated in IFLS 5. The sample used in this study amounted to 3,525 respondents. IInclusion criteria of this study included female, aged 10-18 years, unmarried, having complete data regarding body weight, height and hemoglobin measurement results. If data related to the measurement results of hemoglobin, body weight, height are incomplete, they will be excluded.The statistical test was used is a chi-square test.Results: There was a relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and anemia among young women in Indonesia (p = 0.034 <0.05).Based on the odd ratio analysis using the normal Body Mass Index (BMI) group as a comparison, it is known that young women with underweight BMI categories have a 1.198 greater risk of experiencing anemia than girls with normal BMI categories.Conclusion: There is a relationship between BMI and anemia in adolescent girls. It is important for young women to always pay attention to daily iron intake by eating foods that are rich in iron or taking blood-booster tablets (TTD) to avoid anemia.

Health among elderly is an important dimension of quality of life. Health is the outcome of interaction of genetic and environmental factors. In elderly, it is the result of a complex interaction of the physical, social, and psychological aspects of ageing. Health status in this paper has been looked at from the point of view of incidence of diseases, functional ability, nutritional status, and elderly’s self-assessment of health condition. Data for the study have been collected from 20 villages in Morigaon district of Assam, predominantly inhabited by the Karbi community. Sixty years and above have been taken as the inclusive criterion. The sample consists of 508 elderly male and female Karbis. It is cross-sectional study using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Data have been collected with a structured schedule and nutritional status assessed from body mass index. Majority of the elderly did not reportedly suffer from any disease. A look into the treatment and management of disease conditions indicates that the elderly persons are mostly not aware of any disease prevalence due to their ignorance. The elderly remain functionally active and this is mainly their criteria of defining health. Of the elderly, 30 percent show low body mass index indicating protein deficiency malnutrition. Self-assessment of health condition as good by most elderly indicates a better psychological health. Functional ability, nutritional status, and self-assessment show an association with age.

Sample collection is consecutive subjects. Subjects were 158 people with a mean age of men (67.8 ± 7.1) years while women were 67.5 ± 7.3 years. The data was analyzed using the bivariate correlation test with CI 99%. The results of the analysis showed that the average body mass index with an average waist circumference was positively correlated (r= 0.66; p: 0.000), but did not correlate with systole pressure (r= -0.009; p= 0.97) diastole (r= 0.093; p= 0.477), age (-0.05; p= 0.71), and gender (r= -0.146; p= 0. 27). The potential health problems among the elderly is the risk of high BMI due to the larger waist circumference

Background: Nutrition are the essential factor to maintain body weight, body mass index and food intake in CAPD patients. Dialysis could increase nutrients lost and had to be replaced by adequate intake. Nutrition education should be needed to increase patient’s knowledge, food intake and body mass index.Objectives: To determine the role of nutrition education towards energy-protein intake and body mass index in patient with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD)Method: A cross-sectional study design with total sampling technique to obtains thirthy CAPD outpatient at RSUPN Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo. Energy and protein intake were assessed by 3-days-food records (weekday and weekend). Nutritional status were obtained with BMI by dry body weight. Data were analyzed with independent t-test.Results: Most of subject are male outpatients, 25 – 55 years old (76.7%), had hypertension (83.3%) and normal BMI (50%). Most of subject had been undergoing peritoneal dialysis more than a year (67%), and had less than two times education per year. Energy intake were categorized as sufficient (80%) but protein intake were categorized as insufficient. There were no differences between frequency of nutrition education with energy-protein intake and nutritional status (p0.05)Conclusion: There are no differences between energy-protein intake and nutritional status with the frequency of nutrition education. Nutritional education by nutritionist and/or dietitian according to the recommendations help to maintain normal body mass index.
