This study aims to evaluate nutritional status and sedentary behavior in adolescents in Indonesia. Adolescence is a phase of growth and development that requires good nutrition. However, adolescents are faced with the risk of malnutrition or overnutrition, as well as micronutrient deficiency. In addition, the development of science and technology has a significant impact on adolescent behavior, with the use of sophisticated and instantaneous equipment that contributes to sedentary behavior. Lack of knowledge about nutritional value can also negatively impact adolescent health. Therefore, it is important to understand the sedentary behavior and nutritional status conditions of adolescents in this modern era. ThisĀ study used descriptive quantitative methods with a population of 450 adolescents and a sample of 115 students. Data analysis was performed using Excel.
