Background: Air pollution is a growing problem that is happening all over the world, especially in developing countries. Air pollution is a condition where there are one or more physical, chemical and biological substances in the air whose amounts are at a dangerous point. The type of air pollution that is of concern today is fine particles with a diameter of less than 2.5mm (PM2.5). Physical activity is also associated with pollution having beneficial effects that accumulate over time over the long term reducing the risk of developing disease and death from cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, type 2 diabetes, certain types of cancer, and reducing the risk of all morbidity and nutrition related diseases with mortality (number of deaths), good nutritional status and sufficient protein intake can reduce the incidence of lung disease as well as energy and protein-rich foods and snacks to increase muscle. Methods: This study uses correlational analysis using a cross-sectional study. the location of data collection was carried out at SMPN 26 Bandung. The instrument uses the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (PAQ-C) and Subjective Global Assessment (SGA). Results: Student characteristics based on body weight (45.20 ± 9.16), height (151.65 ± 6.91) and BMI (19.63 ± 3.70). Lung capacity value and physical activity value FVC value (1.82 ± 0.72), FEV1 value (1.85 ± 1.55) and physical activity value (2.30 ± 0.42). Value of the relationship between physical activity and lung vital capacity (FVC) correlation value (0.015), (FEV1) correlation value (0.067). The relationship between physical activity value and lung vital capacity (FVC) correlation value (0.044) (FEV1) correlation value (0.173). Conclusion: The conclusion from this study is that the nutritional status of students in school locations polluted by air pollution tends to be thin, furthermore the level of vital lung capacity of students in locations polluted by air pollution is lacking and has a very weak degree of relationship between physical activity and nutritional status on vital capacity lung, suggestions from researchers to students and the public to maintain nutritional intake and carry out physical activity activities with the aim of maintaining lung vital capacity capabilities for the Government or related agencies are expected to increase guidance and prevention activities related to the dangers of exposure to air pollution, especially in schools. And for further research to conduct a direct study of physical measurements related to a person's nutritional status.
