Hubungan Antara Status Gizi dan Lemak Tubuh dengan Kebiasaan Makan pada Mahasiswa di Malang
Background: An imbalance between energy intake from food and energy expended by the body can result in the development of obesity. The practice of eating out is becoming increasingly prevalent among university students in major urban centres such as Malang. This phenomenon can be attributed to several factors, including the demands of busy schedules, convenient access to a diverse range of foods, and shifts in lifestyle patterns. Nevertheless, this practice may elevate the likelihood of obesity and elevated body fat levels in university students, particularly during the early stages of adulthood. This phenomenon requires further investigation.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to ascertain the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and body fat mass in a cohort of university students, utilising five indicators of dietary habits, namely consumption of takeaway food, eating at home, eating at restaurants, consuming food from supermarkets, and consuming market snacks.
Methods: The research is analytical observational research with cross-sectional approach. The number of respondents in the study was 385 people. The data collected from the respondents were BMI, body fat mass and eating habits. Data was processed with Chisquare and Logistic Regression Analysis.
Results: The majority of respondents were female, resided in boarding houses/dormitories/contracts, and had a family income classified as lower-middle class (less than 5 million per month). A total of five indicators of eating habits were identified, namely the consumption of takeaway food, food prepared at home, food purchased from restaurants, food items purchased from supermarkets, and food items purchased from street vendors. Four indicators were not found to be significantly associated with BMI and body fat mass (p > 0.05). The sole indicator associated with both BMI and body fat mass at the p<0.05 level was eating at restaurants. The correlation between all indicators of dietary habits, BMI and body fat mass was found to be weak.
