Abstract

Background:Information and communication technology has brought significant changes to various aspects of human life, including how teenagers interact, learn, and consume information. One of the most obvious impacts of this development is the increasing use of social media among teenagers. Intensive social media use among teenagers often has a major impact in the form of digital advertising. Teenagers tend to be easily influenced by advertising because they are still in the stage of forming their identity, interests, and consumption interests. Advertisements are designed in such a way as to attract attention, influence perceptions, and encourage spontaneous purchases, thus potentially leading to excessive consumer behavior. In addition, easy internet access gives teenagers the freedom to determine food choices that can lead to changes in their lifestyle. This allows more quickly and widely lead teenagers to choose the food they want to consume, such as fast food or foods with unbalanced nutritional content, which can cause short-term and long-term nutritional problems in teenagers.Method:The researchers used an observational analytical design with a sample of 98 respondents at Muhammadiyah Vocational School Lebaksiu, Tegal Regency.

Statistical analysis showed that there was a relationship between eating habits and nutritional status (p>0.5).Conclusion :Researchers concluded that FoMO was not related to nutritional status, while eating habits were related to the nutritional status of adolescents in the digital era at Muhammadiyah Lebaksiu Vocational School.
