<p class="MsoTitle" style="margin: 0cm 13.05pt 6pt 17.85pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 26.95pt;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">Quality of human resources is very important to improve productivity. The worker productivity is correlated with nutritional status and health status. The objective of the research is to analyze physical activity, energy intake</span></em><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">, nutritional status, of women workers at Tea Plantation PTPN VIII Bandung, West Java.</span></em><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us"> The cross sectional design was used in this study to elaborate physical activity, nutritional status, and productivity of tea picker’s women. The criteria of study sample were tea picker’s women at cluster area of Malabar tea plantation of PTPN VIII Bandung, having infant and they were willing to be interviewed. The total number of 92 women sample was chosen randomly. Primary data consisted of physical activity recall (2x24 hours), food consumption <span>recall</span> (2x24 hours), anthropometry data (weight and height), and productivity (passage of tea sprout). Secondary data were included data of PT Perkebunan Nusantara VIII Bandung, West Java. The result showed that more than a half of samples having active or moderate physical activity level (PAL). The physical activity level of samples during work day (average PAL=1.87) was higher than holiday (average PAL=1.69) (p&lt;0.05). The physical activity was related to energy expenditure. According to Schofield equation, energy expenditure of sample during workday (average=2362 kcal) was significantly higher (p&lt;0.05) than day off (average=2134 kcal). This result is related to Oxford equation, energy expenditure of sample during workday (average=2223 kcal) was significantly higher than holiday (average=2011 kcal). The related factors of energy expenditure are body weight and age. Energy intake on workday and day off were respectively </span></em><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">2362 kcal and 2134 kcal</span></em><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">.

The energy adequacy level according to Schofield and Oxford equation are related to nutritional status of women workers. </span></em><em></em></p><strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Keywords: </span></em></strong><em><span style="font-size: 10pt;" lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">physical activity, energy expenditure, nutritional status, plantation <span>women</span></span></em>
