<![CDATA[Changes in food consumption patterns and physical activity habits can lead to nutritional problems among adolescents. Adolescent nutritional status may be influenced by imbalances in energy intake, protein intake, and physical activity. This study aimed to analyze the association between energy intake, protein intake, physical activity, and nutritional status among students of SMPN 10 Surakarta. This study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 167 students selected using simple random sampling. Energy and protein intake data were collected using a food record method for three consecutive days. Physical activity was measured using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), while nutritional status was assessed based on the BMI-for-age index using the WHO AnthroPlus application. Bivariate analysis was performed using the chi-square test. Most respondents had normal nutritional status (63.5%), good energy intake (53.3%), good protein intake (58.1%), and moderate physical activity (58.1%). The analysis showed a significant association between energy intake and nutritional status (p = 0.005), as well as between physical activity and nutritional status (p = 0.001). However, no significant association was found between protein intake and nutritional status (p = 0.068). Thus, energy intake and physical activity were significantly associated with adolescent nutritional status, whereas protein intake was not significantly associated with nutritional status.]]>
