Abstract

Overweight and obesity can be caused by lack of physical activity and an imbalance in energy intake and energy expenditure, which can lead to excess energy which will be stored in the form of fat tissue in the body. Efforts to improve healthy lifestyles can be done with nutritional education. Technological developments can provide opportunities to increase telehealth activities in Indonesia, one of which is tele-nutrition. This study aims to determine the effect of tele-nutrition education on changes in percent fat, cholesterol and physical activity in overweight adults. This research uses a pre-test post-test control group design. A total of 46 adult respondents aged 19-49 years. Both groups were first given an initial test (pre-test) with the same test. Then the experimental group was given special treatment, namely tele-nutrition-based nutrition education, while the control group was given direct leaflet-based nutrition education treatment. Data analysis was used using the Paired T Test and Wilcoxon Test. Based on the results of the analysis, there was no effect on body fat percentage before and after being given nutritional education in the experimental group and control group (p>0.05). There was an effect on cholesterol levels and physical activity before and after being given nutrition education in the experimental group, while in the control group there was no effect on cholesterol levels and physical activity before and after being given nutrition education (p<0.05).
