Obesitas adalah penimbunan lemak berlebih pada manusia yang berdampak buruk pada kesehatan, ini merupakan peningkatan akumulasi lemak dalam tubuh, dan menyebabkan resiko terhadap kesehatan. Tingginya konsumsi minuman yang mengandung pemanis dikaitkan dengan peningkatan angka kematian dan kejadian penyakit akibat kelebihan berat badan (obesitas). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti hubungan antara pengetahuan konsumsi minuman berpemanis dan status gizi remaja. Desain survei lintas-seksional digunakan dalam mengumpulkan data dari sampel remaja. Data diperoleh melalui penggunaan kuesioner yang dikembangkan langsung oleh peneliti dengan hasil uji validitas rentang pearson correlation 0,309-0,677 dan reabilitas diperoleh Alpha sebesar 0,801 untuk mengevaluasi pengetahuan tentang konsumsi minuman berpemanis serta status gizi. Untuk menganalisis hubungan antara variabel-variabel tersebut, dilakukan analisis korelasi menggunakan spearman rank correlation dengan uji non-parametric test. Namun, hasil penelitian yang mengejutkan menunjukkan bahwa nilai p-value dari pengetahuan dan status gizi 0,183 > 0,05 yang berarti tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara pengetahuan konsumsi minuman berpemanis dengan status gizi remaja. Lebih spesifik lagi, ditemukan bahwa individu dengan Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) yang normal tidak selalu memiliki pengetahuan yang lebih baik, begitu pula sebaliknya, individu dengan IMT yang lebih tinggi tidak selalu memiliki pengetahuan yang lebih buruk. Temuan ini menekankan bahwa status gizi tidak hanya ditentukan oleh pengetahuan tentang konsumsi minuman berpemanis semata.
