To analyze the relationship between physical activity levels, dietary patterns, and nutritional status among adolescents living in rural versus urban environments.
Conducted a cross-sectional study of 261 adolescents (120 males, 141 females) aged 12–14 years in East Java, Indonesia.
Assessed physical activity using the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (PAQ-C), dietary patterns via daily recall and a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), and nutritional status via BMI-for-age Z-scores.
Overweight prevalence (Z-score > 2) was 31% in urban areas compared to 21% in rural areas, with urban youth consuming more sugary drinks, having longer screen time, and sleeping less (p < 0.05).
Key independent risk factors for overweight status included sugary beverage consumption (OR 2.32), high-fat food intake (OR 1.61), prolonged screen time (OR 1.21), and physical activity levels (OR 0.09).
