Abstract

Overnutrition is an imbalance between the energy consumed through food and the energy expended by the body; it is divided into two conditions: overweight and obesity. Adolescents with overweight generally exhibit faster height growth but tend to experience earlier puberty and have their growth cease earlier compared to adolescents with normal nutritional status. This study aims to identify factors associated with overweight status among adolescents at MAN Jakarta Timur in 2026. This study employs a quantitative method with a cross-sectional study design. This study was conducted among all 10th-grade students at MAN Jakarta Timur. Nutritional status was assessed through anthropometric measurements, including body weight using a digital scale and height using a microtoise. Nutritional status was determined using the BMI-for-age indicator, with categories of overweight (z-score >+1 SD) and normal weight (z-score ≤+1 SD). Data on UPF consumption were collected through interviews using the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), while data on night eating syndrome were obtained through completion of the Night Eating Questionnaire (NEQ). Sampling for this study used total sampling, with a total of 124 respondents, and the data were analyzed using the chi-square test. The data obtained were analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods. The results of this study indicate a statistically significant association between ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption (p-value = 0.041) and overweight status, but show no statistically significant association between night eating syndrome (p-value = 0.259) and overweight status. It is recommended that adolescents limit their consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF) and maintain regular eating patterns by avoiding overeating and consuming food late at night.
