<![CDATA[The current generation cannot be separated from the use of technology in their daily routines. Several research results show that excessive use of smartphones can have various impacts on health. However, some of them also prove that there is no relationship between a person's nutritional status and the smartphone usage intensity. This research aims to explore the random effect size of smartphone usage intensity on the nutritional status of Indonesian students in terms of educational level using sample of 1679 students. The research design uses meta-analysis. Data sources were taken from 16 Local indonesian studies published in the last six years with filters used including: Correlational research, accessed from Google Scholar, research subjects were students at primary/junior/high school/university levels. The research results showed that there was a significant random effect size correlation between the smartphone usage intensity and nutritional status which was categorized as low effect size (r=0.181; p-value <0.001). This proves that the smartphone usage intensity is very weakly correlated with students' nutritional status. Thus, the higher educational level, also has higher level of significance about the correlation between smartphone usage intensity and the student's nutritional status. We hope that these results can help us understand that smartphone use must be done wisely and according to needs.]]>
