Latar Belakang : Berdasarkan data Survei Kesehatan Indonesia (SKI) (2023), di DI Yogyakarta terdapat 13,5% overweight dan 5,6% obesitas pada kategori usia 16-18 tahun, sedangkan pada individu usia >18 tahun sebanyak 14,4% overweight dan 24,6% obesitas. Status gizi individu dapat disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor, salah satunya stres. Stres seringkali dialami oleh mahasiswa dalam proses akademik.

Tujuan : Mengetahui hubungan stres akademik dengan status gizi pada mahasiswa Universitas Gadjah Mada

Metode : Desain penelitian ini adalah cross sectional. Subjek penelitian ini merupakan mahasiswa UGM yang sesuai dengan kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi dengan teknik cluster sampling sejumlah 220 responden. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Februari 2025. Stres akademik diukur dengan kuesioner PASS melalui platform Google Form, sedangkan status gizi menggunakan IMT dengan pengukuran antropometri. Analisis statistik yang digunakan adalah Chi-square.

Hasil : Sebagian besar responden mengalami stres akademik (52,7%) dan tergolong dalam kategori stres sedang (72,7%), serta memiliki status gizi normal (63,2%). Berdasarkan hasil analisis statistik, tidak ditemukan hubungan yang signifikan antara stres akademik dengan status gizi (p-value >0,05).

Kesimpulan : Tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara stres akademik dengan status gizi pada mahasiswa Universitas Gadjah Mada
