Macronutrient Intake and Overweight
Keywords:
Carbohydrate, Fat, Macronutrient, OverweightAbstract
Obesity among adolescents is increasingly on the rise. Obesity is linked to various health issues, including cardiometabolic conditions, mental health challenges, and an increased risk of early mortality in adults one of the cause of obesity and overweight is macronutrinet intake over nutritional requirement figures. The aim of this study was to describe the consumption of macronutrients in the form of carbohydrate and fat as well as the number of overweight students. The sample for this study was late adolescents studying at Teuku Umar University, Faculty of Public Health, who were taking nutritional surveillance classes. This research used kuantitative and cross sectional design. The variables measured were body weight, height and daily consumption of macronutrient about carbohydrate and fat. Data was collected using questionnaires and anthropometric measuring instruments and analyzed using a nutritional survey. Research shows that 12% of students are obese, consuming 37% too much protein and 25% less, consuming 50% too much fat, 25% consuming excess calories while 65% lacking calories. In conclusion, students at the research location still have nutritional status problems which are suspected to be caused by consumption factors which are still not normal from the analysis of consumption needs. Further research needs to be done on other risk factors in order to obtain the right solution to solve the problem of overweight in the late adolescent group by manage the macronutrient intake and ensure their metabolism.
