• Background/Aims: Adolescent nutritional status determines quality of human resource in the future. This study analyzed the correlation of food habit and physical activity with nutritional status among adolescents in Java Island Indonesia. Methods: The study used secondary data from Global School-Based Student Health Survey 2015 involving 2,699 junior and senior high school students. The data on subject characteristics, food habits, physical activity and nutritional status were collected through self-reported questionnaires. Results: Almost three-quarter of subject (73.0%) had normal nutritional status, around one-fifth (21.3%) were overweight and around one-tenth (11%) were stunting. Female subjects were significantly found more in normal nutritional status than male subjects. There were differences in consumption of vegetables, fast food, soft drinks, breakfast habits, frequency of physical activity, and duration of sedentary activities between male and female subjects (p < 0.05). There was a negative correlation between age and consumption of fruit, fast food and breakfast habit (p < 0.05). Age was also correlated positively with frequency of walking or cycling, attendance in Physical Education (PE) and duration of sedentary activities (p < 0.05). Breakfast habits was correlated positively with nutritional status (BAZ), meanwhile attendance in PE was correlated negatively with nutritional status (BAZ) (p < 0.05). Age was correlated positively with nutritional status (HAZ), while frequency of fruit consumption was correlated negatively with nutritional status (HAZ) (p < 0.05). Conclusion: There is a need to increase awareness on healthy eating and lifestyle in Java Island, and need to compare the figure with the situation outside Java Island in order to develop more comprehensive policy.
