Abstract

The consequences of energy imbalance have resulted in a high prevalence of overweight students in primary schools, reaching 39.8%. Several factors contribute, including macronutrient intake and sedentary activity. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between macronutrient intake and sedentary activity among overweight primary school students. The study was conducted using a cross-sectional design. Proportional random sampling was employed to select a sample of 98 students from Pacar Kembang IV Surabaya Primary School. Data collection included parent and student characteristics, macronutrient intake (assessed using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire), and sedentary activity (measured using a sedentary behavior questionnaire). Bivariate analysis was conducted using the Chi-Square test and the contingency coefficient relationship. Most respondents with high levels of sedentary activity (44.4%), excessive intake of energy (50%), protein (44.8%), fat (51.9%), and carbohydrates (46.2%) were overweight. The bivariate analysis revealed no relationship between energy intake (p = 0.189), fat intake (p = 0.236), carbohydrate intake (p = 0.279), and sedentary activity (p = 0.414) with overweight. However, a relationship was found between protein intake and overweight status (p = 0.036, r = 0.252). A higher protein intake is associated with an increased likelihood of being overweight. On the other hand, there is no relationship between intake of energy, fat, carbohydrate, and sedentary activity and being overweight.
