Latar Belakang : Status imun dapat menjadi salah satu penanda kondisi sistem imun di dalam tubuh. Vegetarian umumnya memiliki indeks massa tubuh (IMT) yang lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan non-vegetarian. Hal tersebut memberikan dampak positif terhadap status imun vegetarian. Di samping itu, vegetarian juga mengalami defisiensi beberapa zat gizi yang dapat menyebabkan dampak buruk pada status imun vegetarian. Salah satu penanda status imun tubuh yaitu jumlah leukosit, dimana leukosit merupakan imunologi pertama yang muncul untuk melawan patogen.Tujuan : Membandingkan asupan zat gizi makro, status gizi, dan status imun antara vegetarian dan non-vegetarian.Metode : Sampel penelitian sebanyak 64 wanita dipilih melalui consecutive sampling yang terdiri dari 32 subjek vegetarian dan 32 subjek non-vegetarian. Berat badan dan tinggi badan dari subjek diukur untuk menentukan status gizi. Asupan zat gizi makro diukur melalui Semi Quantitative-Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) dan dianalisis menggunakan program software gizi. Status imun diperoleh dari perhitungan jumlah sel darah putih (leukosit). Analisis statistik yang digunakan yaitu uji T Independen atau Mann-Whitney.Hasil : Terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan pada status gizi (p=0.019), asupan karbohidrat (p=0.002), asupan serat (p=0.001), asupan lemak jenuh (p=0.001), dan asupan lemak tidak jenuh (p=0.001) antara vegetarian dan non-vegetarian.Simpulan : Asupan karbohidrat, serat, dan lemak tidak jenuh lebih tinggi pada vegetarian sementara status gizi dan asupan lemak jenuh lebih tinggi pada non-vegetarian.
