 CHAPTER I

Introduction

Excess weight in the young population has serious health

implications. The frequencies of endocrine, metabolic, orthopedic and

psychological disorders are significantly higher in children and adolescents

with obesity than in peers with normal body weight. Research indicates

that approximately 80% of obese adolescents will remain obese in

adulthood. Adolescence is a period of many essential changes in physical,

psychological and social growth. It is also a key period in developing

lifestyle and nutritional behaviors that may have various health implications

for young individuals. One of the lifestyle components that are crucial for

adolescent growth is a well-balanced diet.

Many authors highlight the insufficient knowledge of a healthy

lifestyle among the young generation, including their choices regarding

eating. The most common nutrition mistakes committed by adolescents are

eating meals irregularly, including omitting breakfast, consuming an

improperly balanced diet and consuming large amounts of highly

processed products and sweetened beverages. In 2019, the 4th National

Nutrition Conference was held to discuss why the obesity epidemic

continuously grows despite the actions taken in 2006 at the WHO

European Ministerial Conference on Counteracting Obesity in Istanbul. At

that time, all European countries committed to implementing the strong,

comprehensive actions recommended in the European Charter on

Counteracting Obesity to achieve a reversal of the trend of increasing

obesity by 2015.

The “National Program for the Prevention of Overweight and

Obesity” was a response to the ideas contained in the Charter, signed by

the Polish Minister of Health in 2006. One of the two specific objectives of

the Program included preventing overweight and obesity, improving

nutrition quality and physical activity of children and adolescents. As

studies have shown, there has been no success in reversing and even

stopping the trend of increasing obesity. This problem is very complex and

challenging to explain.

Knowledge of nutrition behaviors is an essential element in

designing educational activities aimed at eliminating these undesirable

habits. These actions may contribute to the reduction of excessive body

weight among children and adolescents. Research emphasizes the

effectiveness of programs promoting a healthy diet and physical activity

and the importance of more personalized actions, as well as the need to

identify potential barriers for such actions. The primary purpose of this

study was to characterize nutrition behaviors of adolescents and their

knowledge about food and nutrition in the context of the risk of developing

overweightness or obesity. The secondary aim was to identify improper

dietary behaviors of adolescents, verify the relationship of these behaviors

with their level of nutrition knowledge and indicate directions for

educational activities aimed at increasing their awareness about the

diseases of civilization. (Mizia, et.al 2021)

BACKGROUND OF THE PROBLEM

Good nutrition help student show up at the school prepared to learn.

Because improvements in nutrition make the student heal their students an

likely to have fever absences and attended class more frequents studies

show that malnutrition leads to behavior problems and that has negative
impact on child behavior. The student when they’re well nourished and

eating healthy meals has been linked to higher grades better memory and

are faster information processing. We want these topic because healthy

students are more likely to attend to school are better able to focus in class

and better position and to achieve academic success. Our target on our

research studies are the 10 students. Our target on our research studies

are those students in senior high school in Saint Anne Academy in

Binubusan, Lian, Batangas.

 CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

Health behavior theories are useful
to interpret adolescents’ dietary
behaviors. Evidences show that
theories are influenced by social
and psychological determinants. So,
the purpose of this study is to
systematically review studies that
tested social cognitive theories
(non-integrated) that predict
adolescents’ dietary behaviors
Beliefs about one’s own abilities and
perspective-taking are essential for
appropriate behavior in professional
and social life, cooperative learning,
and situations were conflict is
occurring. The social comparison
theory and previous research
suggested positive relations between
school students’ beliefs about one’s
own abilities and perspective-taking.
The hypotheses were: Beliefs about
one’s own abilities and perspective-
taking are positively related to each
other after the transition to
secondary school and will fade
thereafter.

These two theory are connected to research because food help students to enhance
their study ability that benefits and help to boost their knowledge also healthy lifestyle
behaviors have given emphasis as an important characteristic in health promotion and
to prevent diseases.
