Abstract

Recently, there has been an increase in obesity cases among adolescents in Indonesia with a prevalence rate of 19%, which exceeds the national prevalence of 16%. This was caused by the decrease in physical activities and consumption of fruit and vegetables by 95% of the population during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to foster the development of a Nutrition Education Center (Nutrecent) as a distance learning to promote the consumption of plant-based foods containing polyphenols such as vegetables and fruits. This was a quasi-experiment with three Nutrecent (Nutrition Education Centre) Webinar series and an international webinar. Participants were high school and college students, health workers, and the general public. A total of 654 participants were included in the analysis. The statistical results showed no significant improvement in knowledge due to the Nutrecent webinar series activities, but there was a significant improvement due to the international webinar (p-value 0.001). Online learning is only effective for students and adults with previous knowledge of the webinar topic. Consequently, there is a need to include the importance of consuming plant-based foods in the school curriculum.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescent health will impact future well-being. The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted governmental imposition of restrictions on social activities. Hence, understanding the lifestyle factors, such as sedentary activities and fruit and vegetable consumption, affecting adolescents' nutritional status during the pandemic is crucial. In Samarinda, more than 18% of adolescents have inadequate nutritional status. Aims: to explore the relationship between sedentary activities, fruit and vegetable consumption, and the nutritional status of adolescents. Method: Using an online questionnaire, a cross-sectional study was conducted on 300 high school students during the COVID-19 pandemic, between October and December 2021. Sedentary activity levels were assessed using the Adolescent Sedentary Activity Questionnaire (ASAQ), while fruit and vegetable consumption was evaluated through the FFQ-SQ (Food Frequency Questionnaire-Semi Quantitative). Nutritional status was determined using z score of body mass index (BMI) for age. Data analysis employed the Chi-square test and Fisher exact test. Results: Gender, maternal occupation, and average monthly parental income were found to be associated with nutritional status (p=0.020; p=0.038; p=0.045). However, no significant association was observed between fruit and vegetable consumption and nutritional status (p=0.102; p=0.121). Certain sedentary activities, such as doing assignments without using a laptop/computer (p=0.029) and reading for pleasure (p=0.038), were linked to nutritional status. Fruit and vegetable consumption showed no association with the nutritional status of adolescents. Conclusion: Conversely, certain sedentary activities were found to be associated with nutritional status. Educating adolescents within families and schools regarding the significance of physical activity and balanced nutrition is imperative.
