Abstract

Introduction: Adolescence is one of the life stages that play a key role and is also affected by the epidemiology transition as the result of the development of the era. Consuming a lot of fast food and junk food nowadays causes adolescents, both girls and boys, to be subjected to nutritional problems such as the high body fat percentage. Adolescent boys even tend to be unaware of their health. This study aims to analyse nutritional factors which have an effect on body fat percentage in adolescent boys. Methods: This study was performed involving 1046 high school students in 5 Jakarta districts. Spearman’s correlation and multiple linear regression were used for the data analysis of this study. Results: The result shows that there was a relationship between BMI-for-age, energy and macronutrient intakes, and body fat percentage. Adolescents with excessive intakes got affected by their body fat percentage, although their BMI-for-age is normal. The result of multivariate analysis suggests that BMI-for-age had the most effect on body fat percentage. Conclusion: There needs to be a regular education for adolescent boys to be aware of their body fat percentage and other factors that have an effect on it.

雅加达5个地区青少年男孩体脂百分比的营养因素

引言：青春期是人生中起关键作用的阶段之一，也受到时代发展导致的流行病学转变的影响。如今，大量食用快餐和垃圾食品会导致青少年，包括男孩和女孩，出现营养问题，如高体脂率。十几岁的男孩甚至往往不知道自己的健康状况。本研究旨在分析影响青春期男孩体脂百分比的营养因素。方法：本研究涉及雅加达5个地区的1046名高中生。本研究采用Spearman相关和多元线性回归进行数据分析。结果：研究结果表明，年龄、能量和大量营养素摄入量的BMI与体脂百分比之间存在相关性。摄入过多的青少年会受到身体脂肪百分比的影响，尽管他们的BMI在年龄上是正常的。多变量分析的结果表明，BMI对体脂百分比的影响最大。结论：需要对青春期男孩进行定期教育，让他们意识到自己的体脂百分比和其他影响体脂百分比的因素。
