The responses are scored on a 5-point Likert-type scale ranging from strongly disagree (1) to agree (5) strongly. The Cronbach's alpha of the original scale is 0.84 and the item-total score correlations are between 0.43 and 0.68 .

It was measured using the adolescent nutrition knowledge scale. The scale consisted of 20 items and was developed to determine the level of knowledge about nutrition in adolescents, such as the types of nutrients, portion size, and eating habits. The answer categories of each question are structured as "yes", "no" or "do not know". The Cronbach's alpha of the original scale is 0.86, and item-total score correlations are between 0.13 and 0.59.

It was measured using the adolescent activity knowledge scale. The Activity Scale consists of 12 items and was developed to determine the knowledge level of physical activity and exercise in adolescents. The answers categories of each question are structured as "yes", "no", and "do not know". The Cronbach's alpha of the original scale is 0.69, and item-total score correlations are between 0.22 and 0.46.

The weight and height of adolescents were measured by the researcher. Tanita Bc-730 was used as a weighing machine. Mesilife Mst-200 was used as a height meter. They were measured in schools. After, body mass indexes were calculated for each adolescent.
