“…The latter ate these meals at their rooms on the university campus. Several previous studies showed similar results (Yahia, 2008;Al-Rethaiaa, 2010;Parmar, 2017). Moving away from home and family might be associated with significant negative changes in nutritional habits and students living away from home are often at higher risk of consuming fast-foods (Kattelmann, 2014).…”

“…Studies showed that the most common unhealthy eating habits in university students were high consumption of sugar-sweetened drinks, butter and saturated fats; skipping breakfast, and midnight munching (Yahia, 2008;Al-Rethaiaa, 2010). College students living away from home were highly vulnerable to imbalanced diet and malnutrition, attraction to a new lifestyle, making their own food choices and irregular daily routines (Parmar, 2017). Unhealthy food choices of university students could affect weight management and lead to overweight or obesity (Peltzer, 2014).…”

BACKGROUND: Living with the family at home or away from it at the university dorm might affect the behavior of students, including their dietary habits. The aim of this study was to assess the differences in dietary habits between Saudi undergraduate students living with their families and those living at university dorms.METHODS: A cross-sectional study done at six Saudi universities. We recruited 354 undergraduate students. A self-administered structured questionnaire was used to collect data on socio-demographic characteristics, dietary habits, physical activities, perceived body weight and gastro-intestinal symptoms. Differences between students living at home with their families and those living on campus at university dorms were assessed using the chi-squared test. RESULTS: Three quarters of our sample were female (77%). Almost 80% of the students lived with their families. Change in dietary habits after joining the university was significantly more common among students living at university dorms (p< 0.001). Major changes in dietary habits were found in 68.6% of students living at home with their families and in 31.4% of those living at university dorms. Moreover, we found significant difference between students living with their families and those living at university dorms, regarding place of breakfast (p= 0.003), place of lunch (p< 0.001), place of dinner (p= 0.002) and perceived body weight (p= 0.018).CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS: Most of the students were living with their families. However, students living at university dorms were at higher risk of unhealthy change in their dietary habits. More nutritional interventions to enhance the health of students should be introduced.

Latar Belakang: Selama pandemi COVID-19, santri Madrasah Aliah (sederajat Sekolah Menengah Atas) tetap melaksanakan kegiatan belajar di sekolah, namun mereka dapat tinggal di rumah atau asrama. Perbedaan kondisi tempat tinggal ini dapat mempengaruhi skor keragaman pangan dan status gizi. Tujuan: Untuk membandingkan skor keragaman pangan dan status gizi antara santri yang tinggal di asrama dan rumah selama pandemi COVID-19. Metode: Penelitian dengan desain cross-sectional dilakukan pada 232 (116 asrama dan 116 rumah) santri dan santriwati berusia 16-18 tahun di 8 pesantren di Kecamatan Mranggen, Kabupaten Demak. Subjek dipilih melalui clustered random sampling berdasarkan kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Data dikumpulkan dengan kuesioner recall 2x24 jam untuk mendapatkan Individual Dietary Diversity Score (IDDS) serta pengukuran berat dan tinggi badan untuk menghitung skor-Z IMT/U. Data dianalisis dengan uji T Independent, Mann Whitney U, Chi Square, Rank Spearman dan General Linear Model. Hasil: Tidak terdapat perbedaan usia dan jumlah subjek yang terkonfirmasi COVID-19 antar subjek yang tinggal di asrama dan rumah. Rerata skor IDDS (p<0.001) dan skor-Z IMT/U (p<0.001) subjek yang tinggal di rumah lebih tinggi daripada subjek yang tinggal di asrama. Rerata uang saku subjek yang tinggal di rumah juga lebih tinggi daripada subjek yang tinggal di asrama (p<0,001). Setelah dikontrol IDDS dan uang saku, skor-Z IMT/U subjek yang tinggal di rumah tetap lebih tinggi daripada subjek yang tinggal di asrama. Kesimpulan: Selama pandemi COVID-19, santri yang tinggal di rumah mempunyai skor keragaman pangan dan skor-Z IMT/U yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan santri yang tinggal di asrama. Kata kunci: Skor Keragaman Pangan, Indeks Masa Tubuh, Asrama, Rumah, Pandemi COVID-19
