ABSTRACT
This study aims to find out the nutritional status of students based on height and weight. Study participants were randomly selected from two countries: Indonesia and Portugal. This study is a quantitative descriptive study using survey methods, instruments for the calculation of weight index by height in children aged 6-17 years. The study used measurements of weight and height. Data collection techniques using anthropometric measurements that include measurements of weight and height are then calculated based on data analysis techniques using quantitative descriptive with percentages. The results of the above study and discussion concluded that the nutritional status of children aged 6-17 years during the COVID-19 pandemic was reviewed and the weight index by height was the majority in the normal category. This study has implications for 1) Helping children understand the importance of nutritional status for development and growth, especially for those who do not fall into the normal category and; 2) Children are expected to maximize the role of physical activity to improve the physical freshness and nutritional status of students. Then, this study contributes to future research that is the need to include certain free variables to be known the dominant variables in affecting nutritional status in children.
