Profil Antropometri dan Faktor Gaya Hidup pada Remaja: Studi Berbasis Sekolah untuk Deteksi Awal Obesitas dan Resiko Diabetes di Indonesia Anthropometric Profile and Lifestyle Factors in Adolescents: A School-Based Study for Early Detection of Obesity and Diabetes Risk in Indonesia
Main Article Content
Abstract
Obesity and diabetes among adolescents have become significant public health concerns globally, including in Indonesia. This study aimed to evaluate the anthropometric profiles and lifestyle factors that influence the risk of obesity and diabetes among adolescents at an urban Indonesian school. A cross-sectional design was employed, involving 93 students aged 13–18 years who underwent anthropometric measurements and completed lifestyle questionnaires. Results indicated that 36.5% of participants were overweight or obese. Key lifestyle factors, such as frequent fast food consumption and low fiber intake, were significantly associated with higher BMI. After a health education intervention, participants demonstrated a significant improvement in knowledge regarding obesity and diabetes. The findings highlight the importance of school-based screenings and educational interventions in early detection and prevention of obesity and diabetes risks, highlighting the potential for sustainable health promotion strategies targeting adolescents.
