Female model has a variety of body image and experiences social pressure to have low weight. Thus, there is a desire to lose weight with a variety of efforts, such as fad diets. This type of diet can lead to insufficient intake of nutrients in the body and increase the risk of health problems in the long run. The research aimed to analyze fad diets, nutritional status, and nutritional adequacy of female models in Malang. The research design was cross-sectional in 52 female models aged 18–25 years who were selected by simple random sampling. The data of fad diets used in the questionnaire, nutritional status data using the calculation of the last body weight and height, and nutritional adequacy were measured using 2 × 24 hour food recall. Data analysis used the chi-square test. The results of this research showed that most respondents implement fad diets (69%), had negative body image (62%), had a skinny at high level (22%), skinny at mild level (44%), and normal (33%) of nutritional status, and had inadequate nutritional adequacy (77%). There was a significant ( p = 0.023 ) correlation between fad diets and nutritional adequacy (r = 0.369), and in addition, there was a significant correlation ( p = 0.041 ) between nutritional status and nutritional adequacy (r = 0.35). It is concluded that the female models who implemented fad diets and nutritional status below normal tended to not have adequate levels of nutritional adequacy because of improper food selection and psychological factors. Female models are expected to be able to conduct weight loss with the assistance of a nutritionist or in accordance with balanced nutrition guidelines.

Introduction: This study was aimed to explore the effectiveness of 2-months online-based nutrition education related to the reduction of obesity and the risk factor of overweight in adulthood aged 17-25 years compared to the control group. The nutrition education was followed by 800 participants which consist of intervention and control groups. The intervention group was given pre-test and post-test each module, on the other hand, control groups only had to join webinar nutrition education. Materials and method: 800 early adulthood participants coming from various regions in Indonesia were invited to join the WhatsApp group to get intervention by modules and webinars on different topics about nutrition. This is a randomized control trial study by giving nutrition education modules to adults. This study targets adult aged 17-25 years using a quasi-experiment design with a pre-post test control group design. The study will be conducted online in 8 urban areas (center) in Indonesia, namely: Surabaya, Yogyakarta, Jember, Medan, Bali, Samarinda, Kupang, Palu City.

The COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia has made changes in the learning system from face-to-face learning to online learning. With these conditions, technology should be utilized by making an innovation to improve the quality of learning. In this regard, innovations that can be done include the implementation of website seminar activities (webinar) in the midst of a pandemic. Webinars are a learning resource that can be widely accessed by students, academics, and the general public. Of course, this webinar activity is very useful to increase knowledge and insight. The prevalence of obesity in Indonesia according to Riskesdas 2018 shows that 13.6% of adults aged >18 years are overweight while 21.8% are obese. One of the challenges in this phase of life is how to influence and encourage young adults to adopt healthy eating behaviors. Therefore, one way that can be done to increase knowledge, attitudes, and behavior toward eating habits is to provide nutrition education through social media. This study aims to increase knowledge, attitudes, and behavior toward the habit of ordering food online, nutrient-dense food and energy-dense food, food safety, physical activity, sugar-sweetened beverage, and intake of energy, protein, fat, and fiber through the platform. Social media is widely used by the target. This is a randomized control trial study by giving nutrition education intervention related to reduction of obesity in adults age 17–25 years. This study targets adults using a quasi-experiment design with a pre- and post-test control group design. The study will be conducted online in Indonesia. A total of 311 adults aged 17–25 years are joining in this research.

Consumption habits and nutritional status during adolescence can affect nutrition and health status in the future related to the risk of degenerative or non-communicable diseases.

Data were triangulated to enhance validity and to create a more comprehensive understanding of healthy food environments in schools in Indonesia and Malaysia and were analyzed using a content analysis research technique. The results highlighted the current status of the food environment at schools in Indonesia and Malaysia, challenges to implementing healthy food environment, best practices, and future, including propose concept and solution to initiate too. The results emphasize the need to dig deeper to understand why the school food environment in Indonesia and Malaysia is still far from an ideal healthy food environment. Concepts and suggestions on how schools in Indonesia and Malaysia should move forward to build a healthy school food environment are also presented in this paper.
