Adolescents represent a population group that is particularly vulnerable to various nutritional issues, including both undernutrition and overnutrition. With the rising number of adolescents in Indonesia, adolescent nutrition has become a public health concern due to its significant implications for physical growth and development, as well as its long-term impact on nutritional status into adulthood and later life. This research explored the association between Clean and Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors (CHLB) and dietary intake, with a focus on their impact on the nutritional status of adolescents. Utilizing a cross-sectional design, the study was conducted at SMPN 18 Mataram and included 60 student participants. Data were analyzed through Spearman’s rank-order correlation test. Findings indicated a significant correlation between CHLB and adolescents’ nutritional status (p=0.001, p0.05). These findings suggest the need to enhance adolescents’ awareness and practices regarding clean and healthy lifestyle behaviors and to encourage the adequate consumption of both macro- and micronutrients in order to support optimal nutritional status.
