Students are individuals who have graduated from high school/high school and are currently pursuing higher education at a university. The study period is an important period to look forward to, even though new students often face challenges in the form of academic stress. The transition period from high school to college, busy schedules, new environments, and homesickness are factors that cause stress (Ajeng Febrianti Rahayu et al., 2021). Adaptation is an important skill to help students face these changes. According to Adimiharja (1993), adaptation is the process of a person adapting to the environment and using resources to solve problems. In the first year of college, the ability to adapt is the basis for success in studying for the next few years (Rahmadani & Mukti, 2020). According to Sarafino (2012),stress is the body's response to demands that exceed an individual's capabilities (Hasanah, 2019). How to deal with stress is different for each person, from avoiding the source of stress to solving the problem that causes it. For new students, this stress occurs because of major changes, especially in the learning system (Paramita et al., 2022).

Stress is a psychological condition that can affect nutritional status through changes in eating patterns and body metabolism. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between stress levels and nutritional status among final-year medical students at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Lampung. The study was conducted from November 2024 to January 2025 using a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of final-year medical students in the 2024 academic year. A total of 141 students were selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data analysis was performed using the gamma correlation test. Stress levels were assessed using the Medical Student Stressor Questionnaire (MSSQ), while nutritional status was measured through anthropometric assessments. The results showed that 34.8% of respondents had an overweight or obese nutritional status, and 44.7% experienced moderate stress levels. Bivariate analysis revealed a significant relationship between stress levels and nutritional status (p = 0.033, p < 0.05) with a weak positive correlation (r = 0.260). This positive correlation indicates that higher stress levels are associated with an increased risk of being overweight or obese. In conclusion, this study demonstrates a significant relationship between stress levels and nutritional status among final-year medical students. These findings highlight the importance of effective stress management to prevent the risk of excessive weight gain and its potential contribution to degenerative diseases.
