<![CDATA[Adolescent nutritional status can be influenced by various factors. One factor that can influence the nutritional status of adolescents is body image. Body image can occur due to perceptions that tend to assess body size as being larger than its actual size. This is what causes most teenagers to use various unhealthy methods to achieve their satisfaction. These actions often pose a danger to themselves, such as losing weight through unhealthy diets and reducing food portions excessively, which will affect their nutritional status.
