dc.description.abstractObjective: To obtain an overview of adolescents’ nutritional status in Bandung City, Indonesia, during the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2022 until January 2023. Nine subdistricts in Bandung City were selected using the probability proportional to size sampling method and 172 adolescents aged 15—17 were recruited using the convenience sampling method. Interviews were conducted to obtain subject characteristics: age, gender, educational level, occupation of parents, parents’ monthly income, number of people living together (excluding the subject), and number of siblings. Anthropometric measurements were conducted to obtain data on height, weight, and BMI to later be calculated as height-for-age and BMI-for-age z-scores. Height-for-age and BMI-for-age z-scores were classified according to WHO 2007 growth reference data. Results: The majority of adolescents in this study (87,2%) have normal height-for-age status, while the rest had stunted (12,2%) or severely stunted (87,2%) stature. The nutritional status based on BMI-for-age for 73,3% of the subjects is normal, while 3,5% were classified as “severe thinness”, 5,8% as “thinness”, 12,8% as “overweight”, and 4,7% as “obese”. Conclusion: In this study, most adolescents in Bandung City have normal nutritional status during our study period. However, some adolescents with nutritional problems were still discovered. We recommend routine nutritional status screening, maintaining a balanced diet, and getting enough physical exercise to achieve normal nutritional status in adolescents.
