    Background. The prevalence of obesity in children and adolescents is increasing and it impacts their quality of life. The late adolescent stage (aged 16-19 years) is critical since it marks the beginning of adulthood as well as independence and responsibility. This study aimed to determine whether obesity impacts the quality of life and academic performance of late adolescents in Jatinangor. Methods. This observational cross-sectional study of senior high school students in Jatinangor was conducted from August to September 2022. Their quality of life was assessed using the Indonesian version of the PedsQL (Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory) 4.0 Generic Scale report on adolescents aged 13-18. Academic performance was assessed from the student`s last semester report score. Results. There was no association between obesity and quality of life (p=0.691; CI=0.441 – 3.435) or academic performance (p=0.089; OR=0.396; CI=0.136 – 1.151). Physical activity and sleep duration were significantly associated with quality of life (p=0.006 and p=0.001, respectively), while academic performance was significantly influenced by gender (p=0.001) and physical activity (p=0.002). Based on the Mentel-Haenszel test, physical activity affected the relationship between obesity and quality of life (p=0.036) and is a confounding factor for the relationship between obesity and academic performance (p=0.474). Conclusion. There was no association between obesity and quality of life or academic performance but physical activity affected both quality of life and academic performance.
