Abstract

One of the efforts to reduce stunting in children under five is to pay attention to nutrition problems in adolescents. This is important considering that nutrition problems in adolescents have many determinants. The main problems in the form of diet and infection still do not get a clear picture. Especially in geographically isolated areas. The purpose of this study was to determine the description of nutritional status and determinant factors associated with the nutritional status of adolescents in Telok Pakdai District, Kubu Raya Regency. This type of research is crossectional, which is a study in which data collection is done at one time. The population in this study were all adolescent girls. The sample in this study were all adolescent girls from 10 villages in Telok Pakedai District. Data analysis shows that there is a relationship between diet and knowledge of nutritional status, but there is no relationship between history of infectious diseases and nutritional status in adolescent girls in Telok Pakedai District.
