Abstract

Many variables, both directly and indirectly impact teenage girls' eating habits and nutritional condition. The goal of this study is to see if there's a link between teenage girls' nutritional awareness, their mothers' education, their parents' roles, and their family's income and their eating habits and nutritional status in SMA Negeri 1 Eban.
