<![CDATA[Overweight is a condition where excess body fat accumulates, leading to increased risks of diseases such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, and cancer. The prevalence of overnutrition in adolescents aged 16-18 years has been rising over the years, from 5.7% in 2013 to 9.5% in 2018. This study aims to analyze the relationship between Ultra-Processed Food (UPF) consumption and sedentary behavior on overweight status among students at SMAN 1 Tangerang. A cross-sectional design, data were collected through interviews with 114 respondents using the SQ-FFQ Ultra-Processed Food questionnaire and the Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ), with quota sampling employed. The data was analyzed using univariate and bivariate (Fisher Exact test) analyses. The results showed that as many as 59.6% of respondents had over-nutrition status with the results of the analysis showing that there was no significant relationship between consumption of ultra-processed food and the incidence of over-nutrition status (p-value = 0.156). However, there is a significant relationship between sedentary activities and the incidence of excess nutritional status among students at SMAN 1 Tangerang (p-value 0.007).]]>
