Health problems that generally occur in adolescents are excess and underweight, where the nutritional status figures do not reach normal according to standards. As for these problems, the causative factors are identified, such as food consumption and physical activity factors. From the available data, there is still little research devoted to adolescents who have special conditions (disabilities). This study aims to determine the relationship between food consumption and physical activity with the nutritional status of adolescents, so that it can be ascertained that the most important factors for normal nutritional status are achieved. This research is a type of correlational quantitative research and was carried out at the Galuh Handayani Inclusive High School, Surabaya. The research subjects were adolescents with various disabilities, totaling 17 students. The independent variables in the study were food consumption and physical activity, while the dependent variable was nutritional status. The instruments used include 2 x 24 Food Recall and Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents. To determine the relationship between variables, then analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation. The results of the analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between food consumption (P = 0.025) and nutritional status and the correlation coefficient value was 0.540 which resulted in a strong correlation, but there was no significant relationship between Physical Activity (P = 0.133) and the nutritional status of adolescents at Galuh Handayani Inclusive High School Surabaya with a correlation coefficient value of 0.380 which means that the correlation is sufficient.There is a significant relationship between food consumption and nutritional status, but there is no significant relationship between physical activity and the nutritional status of adolescents at Galuh Handayani Inclusive High School, Surabaya

In human life, adolescence is a very important period. During this period, the initial process of maturation of the reproductive organs occurs. In this phase, adolescents will experience physical growth accompanied by mental, cognitive and psychological development. Lack of adequate nutrition during this period can cause disruption and obstacles in adolescent growth. One program that can be carried out to achieve and maintain normal nutritional status in adolescents is by implementing a balanced nutritional intake. This community service activity is carried out using nutrition education methods for teenagers. Through this service activity, it is hoped that there will be an increase in knowledge among teenagers regarding the importance of implementing a balanced nutritional intake for teenagers, which in turn is hoped that teenagers will be able to achieve and maintain normal nutritional status. This activity was attended by 23 teenagers in the working area of ​​the Somba Opu Health Center, Gowa Regency. The knowledge score results show that before being given counseling about balanced nutrition, the average knowledge score for teenagers was in the medium category, namely 60,8%. After following the counseling regarding balanced nutrition and carrying out a posttest, the results showed that the teenagers' knowledge scores increased to an average of 65,22% in the high category. This shows that there is an increase in knowledge among teenagers regarding balanced nutrition after attending this counseling.

One of the stunting locations in East Tanjung Jabung Regency is located in Geragai Sub-district, Pandan Lagan Village. According to data from the Puskesmas in 2019, the incidence of stunting in Pandan Lagan Village was 35 toddlers, in 2020 it was 17 stunting children out of a total of 70 children in Pandan Lagan Village. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between maternal nutritional status, history of maternal conditions, and maternal knowledge about 1000 HPK with the incidence of stunting in Pandan Lagan Village. This type of research is quantitative research, using a cross-sectional approach. The number of samples to be studied with the Lemeshow Formula is 45 respondents. The dependent variable is stunting and the independent variables are maternal nutritional status (pre-pregnant maternal BMI and weight gain during pregnancy), history of maternal conditions (maternal age during pregnancy, birth spacing), and maternal knowledge about 1000 HPK. The research instrument used a questionnaire sheet, then the data was processed through data editing, data coding, data entry, data cleaning, and data processing, then analyzed univariate, bivariate with a chi-square test, and multivariate with multiple logistic regression test. Based on the results of the study, there is a relationship between pre-pregnancy maternal BMI with a risk of 4,464 times, weight gain with a risk of 3,75 times, maternal age during pregnancy with a risk of 3,0 times, and spacing of babies with a risk of 2,444 times with the incidence of stunting. There is no relationship between maternal knowledge about 1000 HPK and the incidence of stunting with a p-value = 0,114, and it is known that the pre-pregnancy mother's BMI variable is the variable that has the greatest influence on infants with stunting nutritional status (odds ratio = 15,943). For this reason, it is expected to be more intensive in educating couples of childbearing age, pre-pregnant mothers, or early on to adolescent girls to pay attention to factors that affect stunted children, especially to have an ideal BMI so that it will reduce the risk of having children with stunted nutritional status.
