The results of the Chi-square test showed that there was no correlation between gender (p-value = 0.79), class (p-value = 0.94), and food intake (p-value = 0.782) on nutritional status. Moreover, the results of the ANOVA test (p-value = 0.584) indicate no correlation between age and nutritional status in students of the Faculty of Medicine, Tarumanagara University. At the same time, the variable sleep pattern on food intake found a p-value = 0.000 through the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. It means that there is a correlation between sleep patterns and food intake by these students. In addition, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was also carried out on the variable of sleep pattern on nutritional status with p-value = 0.000, which means there was a correlation between sleep patterns and nutritional status.
