Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the correlation between stress level, nutrient intake and eating behavior with nutritional status among 92 high school students aged 16 to 18 years from the Public High School (SMAN) 1 Kalianda. The Educational Stress Scale for Adolescents (ESSA), Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ), and anthropometric measurements were used for data collection. The results showed that the most likely factor to trigger stress was related to the study workload. About 44.6% of the subjects were found to be an emotional eaters. There was significant correlation of stress level, energy, protein, and carbohydrate intake with nutritional status (p<0.05).
