Abstract

Snacking habits among school-aged adolescents can influence nutrient intake and affect their nutritional status, particularly in school environments where ready-to-eat foods high in sugar, salt, and fat are widely available. This study aimed to describe the snacking behavior and nutritional status of students at SMP Negeri 1 Mamuju, Mamuju Regency. A quantitative descriptive design was employed with a sample of 192 students from grades VII and VIII, selected using proportional random sampling based on the Slovin formula. Data were collected through structured questionnaires assessing snacking behavior, frequency of snack consumption, attention to nutritional content, and anthropometric measurements using a digital scale and microtoise to determine nutritional status via the BMI-for-age index. The results showed that most respondents had moderate snacking behavior (90.6%), while good and poor behaviors were reported in 7.3% and 2.1% of students, respectively. The majority consumed snacks at a moderate frequency (66.7%) and consumed colored snacks (75.0%), yet only 28.6% paid attention to snack nutritional content. Most students had a normal nutritional status (90.6%), with undernutrition (3.1%), overweight (5.7%), and obesity (0.5%) reported in smaller proportions. Chi-square analysis revealed no significant association between snacking behavior or snacking frequency and nutritional status (p>0.05). These findings highlight the need for nutrition education programs and healthy canteen initiatives in schools to improve healthy snacking behaviors while maintaining optimal nutritional status

Abstract

Previous research has shown that 72.8% of school children’s snack samples in six major cities in Indonesia contained harmful substances. This study aimed to describe students’ knowledge and attitudes toward healthy snacks at SMP Negeri 1 Mamuju. A descriptive design was used with a total sample of 192 students selected through proportional random sampling from grades VII and VIII. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire measuring levels of knowledge and attitudes toward healthy snacks. The results showed that the majority of respondents had low knowledge (65.1%), followed by moderate knowledge (26.0%) and high knowledge (8.9%). Nevertheless, most students had a positive attitude toward healthy snacks (68.2%), followed by moderate (22.4%) and poor attitudes (9.4%). Relationship analysis revealed that all students with high knowledge also had positive attitudes, while those with low knowledge were still dominated by positive attitudes, although a considerable proportion exhibited moderate and poor attitudes. These findings indicate a gap between knowledge and attitudes, which could potentially affect the consistent application of healthy snack consumption behavior. Integrated nutrition education interventions, along with school canteen supervision and the habituation of healthy eating practices, are needed to improve knowledge while maintaining students’ positive attitudes.
