Keywords:
Nutritional Status, PedsQL, Quality of Life, AdolescentsAbstract
Background: Nutritional imbalance, whether in the form of undernutrition or overnutrition, can affect adolescents' physical, psychological, and social well-being, which in turn may contribute to a decline in their quality of life. This impact tends to be more pronounced among children from vulnerable socioeconomic groups, who often face limited access to nutritious food and healthcare services. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the correlation between nutritional status and quality of life among children at Rumah Ilmu Arek Suroboyo (RIAS), a community shelter that supports children from underprivileged families in the Surabaya area. Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design involving 59 adolescents aged 13–18 years living at RIAS as respondents, selected using a purposive sampling technique. Nutritional status was assessed using body mass index-for-age (BMI for age), while quality of life was measured using the PedsQL 4.0 questionnaire. The relationship between variables was analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Result: The results showed that the majority of respondents had normal nutritional status (71.2%; n=42) and good quality of life (55.9%; n=33). Statistical analysis found no significant correlation between nutritional status and quality of life (p=0.382; α=0.05). Conclusion: There was no significant correlation between nutritional status and quality of life. Nutritional status was not a major determinant of quality of life, as quality of life is inherently multidimensional; however, it remains an important factor to monitor given its critical role in children's growth and development.
