Overview

Cross-sectional analysis shows dietary patterns and lifestyle factors significantly influence body mass index in female university students, indicating a need for targeted interventions.

Key Points

  • Higher food spending and a healthy dietary index correlate with a normal BMI in female students.
  • CART analysis identifies better dietary index scores and less screen time as key factors associated with lower BMI.
  • Frequent consumption of high-sodium sauces and sugar-sweetened beverages shows weak but significant associations with BMI.
  • University interventions like nutrition education workshops can help promote healthier lifestyles and reduce obesity risk.
