Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara pengetahuan gizi, konsumsi sayur dan buah dengan status gizi pada remaja kelas X di SMAN 4 Kota Jambi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain cross-sectional. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan proportional random sampling dengan jumlah responden 81 orang. Pengumpulan data dilakukan pada tanggal 2628 Mei 2025. Instrumen yang digunakan berupa kuesioner pengetahuan gizi, kuesioner konsumsi sayur dan buah menggunakan Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), serta pengukuran status gizi dengan indikator Z-score IMT/U. Analisis data dilakukan secara univariat dan bivariat menggunakan uji Chi-Square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan gizi responden dikategorikan cukup (65,4%).
