Abstract


Obesity among adolescents in Indonesia continues to increase and poses a risk of triggering chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. One contributing factor is poor nutrition knowledge and unhealthy eating patterns. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of nutrition education in improving adolescents’ knowledge as an effort to prevent obesity. The intervention was delivered through interactive lectures, group discussions, and visual media (posters, booklets, videos), covering topics such as balanced nutrition, reducing excessive sugar and fat intake, and choosing healthy snacks. Thirty adolescent respondents participated in a pretest and posttest, with data analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and crosstab. The Wilcoxon test results showed that there was a significant difference between the pretest and postwith all respondents achieving a good knowledge category after the intervention. However, 73.3% of respondents still demonstrated less supportive attitudes. In conclusion, nutrition education effectively increased nutrition knowledge, but sustainable programs focusing on behavior habituation through the involvement of schools, families, and social media are recommended to foster long-term positive attitudes.
