Overview

Cross-sectional study examines eating habits and nutrition status influenced by social and physical environments.

Key Points

  • Eating habits are significantly associated with the nutrition status of students, indicating that environmental factors play a crucial role.
  • Peer influence and media significantly affect students' food choices, with 58% reporting varying degrees of influence on their eating habits.
  • A chi-square test showed a positive association between the occupation of parents and students' waist-hip ratio, highlighting socioeconomic factors' impact.
  • Higher amounts of pocket money received were linked to increased obesity (higher WHR), suggesting economic factors influence dietary choices.
