Abstract

Obesity is a nutritional problem that has a negative impact on the health of adolescent girls. Based on the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia report in 2018, the prevalence of obesity in adolescent girls in Pontianak City was 32.50%. Changing conditions during COVID-19 had changed the eating habits of adolescent girls, up to the point they were at risk of obesity. This study aimed to determine the relationship between eating habits and obesity incidence in adolescent girls during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research method used is a cross-sectional design. The targeted population for this study was all female students at the Pontianak Health Polytechnic, Yarsi College of Health Sciences, and Aisyiyah Health Polytechnic. The sample was 102 female students, and the sample was selected using proportional random sampling. Data collection was carried out from March to April 2022. The obesity criteria are based on the measurement of waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and the measurement of eating habits using the Adolescent Food Habit Checklist (AFHC) questionnaire with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.905. The research data were analyzed using the chi-square test with a 95% confidence level. The results of this study showed that the prevalence of nutritional status of adolescent girls with obesity was 72.5% and the prevalence of bad eating habits was 62.7%. There was a correlation between eating habits and obesity incidence in adolescent girls (p-value = 0.01, OR=0,317). In conclusion, eating habits correlated with obesity among adolescent girls in Pontianak City. Preferably, adolescent girls are able to choose healthy foods for daily consumption, monitor their nutritional status regularly, and expand their knowledge about balanced diets.
