“…The proportion of respondents is not much different from the research of Irawan and Safitri (2014), which showed respondents with healthy dietary behavior at 53%. An unhealthy diet can lead to several negative consequences, such as greater weight gain and an increased risk of obesity, a lack of food intake, and eating disorders (Sukamto et al, 2020).…”

Nutritional status is an important indicator of college student health. College students are included in the age group vulnerable to nutritional problems such as decreased diet quality and excessive weight. The study aims to determine the relationship between body image, mindful eating, and weight loss diet behavior with nutritional status in female college students. The study used a cross-sectional design and was conducted among female students at Esa Unggul University in 2022. A total of 122 subjects were selected using the Proportionate Stratified Random Sampling method. Nutritional status is measured by assessing Body Mass Index (BMI). The instruments used were the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ) to assess body image, the Mindful Eating Questionnaire (MEQ) to assess mindful eating, and the dietary behavior questionnaire to assess weight loss. Data were analyzed by chi-square test at CI:95%. The results showed that body image was related to thin (p= 0,004) and obese (p= 0,000) nutritional status. Dietary behavior for weight loss is associated with thin nutritional status (p= 0,010) but not with obesity (p= 0,389). In conclusion, nutritional status (BMI) is related to body image and weight loss diet behavior in female college students.

The present study aimed to get information regarding the girls' body mass index and discover the adoption, awareness, and effect of weight management practices. Nowadays, adolescents, overweight, and obesity are the primary concerns in developing countries and are becoming more frequent in developed countries. Therefore, dieting and weight-controlling practices are becoming more common among all adolescents, particularly girls. Girls participate in weight-control activities and follow benecial weight loss practices such as exercising, eating fruits and vegetables, fasting, skipping meals, and using diet pills. This study used 100 adolescent girls aged between 16 and 19 as the sample size. Among them, 70% were normal, 14% were underweight, and 12% were overweight, whereas 4% were obese. The girls followed diet and exercise mainly through intermittent fasting, walking, and running. However, some girls think skipping meals for the length would help them lose weight faster. Due to this, many girls develop different eating disorders the most common disorders among those girls were Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa. The method that assists most in losing weight is exercise and dieting, but pills, laxatives, or surgery were less common and were not founded in the data collected.
