Abstract

Covid-19 pandemic has caused many changes in things that are big to society such as public health, employment, and economy, to small and individual changes such as lifestyle. Undergraduate students usually fall into the age group of young adults who are easily influenced by mental and emotional changes. Distance Learning Methods due to the pandemic can make indirect changes to physical activity, eating behavior, and nutrition needs. The design of this study was cross sectional with a sample of 63 subjects from Nutrition and Actuarial Science Study Program IPB University. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between eating behavior and physical activity of Nutrition and Actuarial students of IPB with nutritional status during Distance Learning Period. Eating behavior was measured using the Adult Eating Behavior Questionnaire, physical activity levels were measured by the IPAQ questionnaire based on MET minutes/week. Pearson and Spearman tests showed that there was a significant relationship between eating behavior and nutritional status (p<0.05) only on two subscales of appetitive traits (Hunger and Satiety Responsiveness) in Actuarial subjects, while there was no significant relationship between those variables in Nutrition Science subjects. Spearman’s test showed that there was no association between the level of physical activity and nutritional status in both study programs.
