<![CDATA[Nutritional status is one of the factors that determine human resources and quality of life. For this reason, there is a nutrition improvement program in order to improve the nutritional quality of food consumption, so that there is an improvement in the nutritional status of the community. This study aims to analyze the relationship between energy and protein adequacy levels with the nutritional status of elementary school-age children. This study uses a descriptive correlation with a cross-sectional approach. The variables in this study consisted of independent variables in the form of Energy Adequacy Level (TKE) and Protein Adequacy Level (TKP), while the dependent variable was the nutritional status of the respondents. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between nutritional status and energy adequacy level (X², p = 0.000.), as well as a significant relationship between nutritional status and protein adequacy level (X², p = 0.002). This shows that the nutritional status of elementary school-age children is influenced by household food consumption so if household food consumption is good (varied, nutritious, and balanced), the child's nutritional status will also be good.]]>
