The results showed that most adolescent girls had normal nutritional status (44 respondents (57.89%), followed by overweight (16 respondents (21.05%), obesity (10 respondents (13.16%), and malnutrition (6 respondents (7.89%). In addition, it was found that 41 respondents (53.95%) experienced menstrual cycle disorders, while 35 respondents (46.05%) had normal menstrual cycles. In general, the results of this study provide an overview that the nutritional condition of adolescent girls in Tumpaan Village tends to be in the good category, although there are still cases of malnutrition, overweight, and obesity.
