Abstract

Introduction: Adolescence is a critical period vulnerable to nutritional problems. The environment in which adolescents live can significantly impact various aspects such as body image, lifestyle, and nutritional status. This study aimed to analyze differences of subject characteristics in the forms of body image, physical activity level, nutritional knowledge and nutritional status in two different environment (boarding school and nonboarding school). Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed for this study, involving a total of 120 adolescent girls, divided equally into two groups (boarding school and non-boarding school), with each group comprising 60 subjects. Eligible subjects were female students aged 16 to 18 years, in good health, and willingly participating in the study. Data analysis used Independent Sample T Test or Mann-Whitney test. Results: The majority of subjects were 16 years old. Both the boarding school group (60.00%) and the nonboarding school group (51.67%) exhibited negative body image among most subjects. In the boarding school group, 85.00% of subjects demonstrated a moderate level of physical activity, while in the non-boarding school group, 58.33% of subjects reported engaging in a heavy level of physical activity. Moreover, a significant proportion of subjects in both the boarding school group (73.33%) and the non-boarding school group (60.00%) possessed low nutritional knowledge. The analysis comparing the two groups indicated a significant difference in variables of physical activity and nutritional knowledge (p-value <0.05). Conclusion: The level of physical activity and nutritional knowledge in adolescent girls living in boarding schools and non-boarding schools showed significant differences. However, no significant differences were observed in terms of body image and nutritional status between the two groups. Consequently, there is a compelling need for curricular integration focusing on balanced nutrition knowledge and promoting increased physical activity within the school environment.
