Abstract

Background: Improper diet behavior and negative body image can affect adolescents’ poor nutritional status. Poor nutritional status of adolescents affects nutritional status during pregnancy and is closely related to nutritional problems in children who will be. The anemia rate for adolescent girls in Bantul is still quite high and there is still a lack of data related to self-concept in relation to body image and diet behavior of young women. Objective: To determine the relationship between self-concept and diet behavior, body image, anemia status, and nutritional status of young women in Bantul, Yogyakarta. Method: This was a cross sectional study, taking subjects from 3 high schools in Bantul Regency with a cluster random sampling system. Results: There is a significant negative correlation between body image and the respondent’s diet behavior (p <0.05) (rho = 0.4084) (moderate correlation) and between nutritional status and body image (p <0.05) of 0.6935 (strong correlation). There is a significant positive correlation between dietary behavior and Hb levels (p <0.05) of 0.2128 (weak correlation). There is no significant positive correlation between nutritional status and anemia status (Hb levels) (p> 0.05) of 0, 1648. Conclusion: The more negative body image, the higher the diet behavior; the higher the nutritional status, the lower the diet behavior; the lower the diet behavior, the lower the Hb level.
