“…The current study revealed statistically significant association between gender,and nutritional knowledge and dietary lifestyle as revealed in previous studies (Otsuka et al, 2020;Grzymisławska, Małgorzata,Puch, Zawada,&Grzymisławski, 2020).Moreover, there was statistically significant between BMI and nutritional knowledge and practices. This finding was consistent with the results of previous studies (Valmórbida,Goulart,Busnello,&P ellanda,2017;Gutiérrez-Pliego,Camarillo-Romero,Montenegro-Morales&GarduñoGarcía,2016).…”

The outbreak of Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) has upended education systems. The pandemic switched traditional face-to-face classes to online classes. Poor eating behaviors in undergraduate students’ lives may affect the well-being of their later stages of life. This study aimed to investigate the eating behaviors among online learning undergraduates during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 122 students were recruited. The results revealed more than half of the respondents (52.46%) skipped meals. Breakfast (46.72%) was the most skipped meal. The majority of the respondents (94.26%) snacked between meals. Biscuits (88.52%), bread (84.43%), and fruits (80.33%) were the most common snacked foods. Meal skipping was found to be associated with gender (χ2 = 6.83, p < 0.05). In the future, more health interventions program aimed to promote healthy eating behaviors among undergraduates are highly warranted.

“…Most of the evidence on such association among adolescents came from the developed countries and there is a paucity in evidence coming from developing countries (15,16). Previous studies have also showed that adolescent girls are more likely to suffer from mental health problems but adhere to healthier dietary behaviours than boys (17,18). Therefore, it is important to quantify potential sex differences in the burdens of psychological distress and unhealthy dietary behaviours.…”

It is unclear whether there is any association between psychological distress and unhealthy dietary habits among adolescents in low- and middle-income countries. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of these factors in South-East Asia region and investigate their associations. We used data from the Global School-based Health Survey for nine South-East Asian countries. Psychological distress was defined by presence of ≥2 factors from loneliness, anxiety, suicide ideation, suicide planning, and suicide attempt. We assessed inadequate fruit intake, inadequate vegetable intake, daily soft drink, and weekly fast-food consumption. We used random-effects meta-analysis to estimate pooled prevalence. Logistic regressions were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) of unhealthy dietary behaviours for psychological distress. Among 30,013 adolescents (56% girls) aged 12-15 years, the prevalence of psychological distress was 11.0%, with girls reporting slightly higher than boys (11.8% vs. 10.1%). The prevalence of inadequate fruit intake, inadequate vegetable intake, daily soft drink consumption, and weekly fast-food consumption was 42%, 26%, 40%, and 57%, respectively. Psychological distress was associated with inadequate fruit intake (pooled OR=1.20, 95% CI 1.03-1.40), inadequate vegetable intake (pooled OR=1.17, 1.05-1.31), and daily soft drink consumption (pooled OR=1.14, 1.03-1.26); but not with weekly fast-food consumption (pooled OR=1.13, 0.96-1.31). We observed substantial cross-country variations in prevalence and OR estimates. In conclusion, South-East Asian adolescents have significant burden of psychological distress and unhealthy dietary behaviours, with those having psychological distress are more likely to have unhealthy dietary behaviours. Our findings will guide preventative interventions and inform relevant policies around adolescent nutrition in the region.
