Background

Adolescents (10 – 19 years old) in Indonesia consume inadequate amounts of
protein, fruits and vegetables, and excessive amounts of Na and western fast
food. Adolescent malnutrition is a growing global concern. Behavior acquired
during adolescence often lasts into adulthood and inluences peers. For some,
health risks such as obesity and its psychological cost may also persist in
adulthood. Adolescents’ nutritional status plays an essential role in the health
of their offspring, particularly for girls. Thus, adolescence is a critical period to
instill positive dietary and health behaviors.
