nutritional status of students of Jember University. The research was
observational analytic and, based on time, it belongs to cross-sectional research.
The number of samples in this research was 384 college students taken by cluster
random sampling technique. Analysis of data applied Spearman correlation test
with = 0.05. The result of statistical analysis showed that there was a significant
correlation between knowledge level of nutrition and nutritional status (p=0.027).
There was a significant correlation of energy consumption (p=0.003), level of
protein consumption (p=0.011), level of fat consumption (p=0.000), level of
carbohydrate consumption (p=0.029). There was a correlation of consumption
patterns of main food of rice (p=0.016), instant noodle (p=0.024), bread
(p=0.007), cassava (p=0.021), and potatoes (p=0.004). There was a correlation
pattern of beef consumption (p=0.000), liver (p=0.030), shell (p=0.013), shrimp
(p=0.004), tofu (p=0.000), oncom (p=0.000) and nuts legumes (p=0.000). There
was a correlation of consumption pattern of spinach vegetable (p=0.000),
mustard (p=0.000), carrots (p=0.000), long beans (p=0.000), cassava leaves
(p=0.000), soybean (p=0.000), water spinach (p=0.000), beans (p=0.000),
cabbage (p=0.000), and cucumber (p=0.000). There was a correlation of
consumption patterns of banana (p=0.000), papaya (p=0.001), orange (p=0.000),
apples (p=0.000), Malay apple (p=0.002), rambutan (p=0.002) and watermelon
(p=0.001). There was a correlation of consumption patterns of Yakult (p=0.042)
and yogurt (p=0.000). There was a correlation of other food consumption
patterns of meatballs (p=0.020) and cilok (p=0.000). There was a correlation of
consumption patterns of vitamin B12 (p=0.041). Based on the result of reseach,
student are expected to increase knowledgeabout nutrition and increase their
intakeof nutrients both quality and quantity. So that it can go a good nutritional
