Background: Changing lifestyles and food habits have an impact on both nutrient requirements and intake among adolescents. The aim of this study is to assess the level of knowledge, habits, practices, and the presence of food addiction among adolescents residing in Damanhur City.Methods: A descriptive correlational study design is employed to collect data from 363 adolescents selected conveniently from two youth centers in Damanhur, Egypt. Four tools are used: a demographic questionnaire, the Adolescent Food Habits Checklist (AFHC), the General Nutritional Knowledge Assessment Questionnaire (GNKQ), and the Yale Food Addiction Scale version 2.0 (YFAS 2.0).Results: The age of the participating adolescents ranges from 10 to 19 years. More than half of the participants (51.8%) reported choosing low-fat foods. Additionally, around one-third of the adolescents (34.7%) meet the diagnostic criteria for food addiction. However, there is no statistically significant association found between food addiction and adolescents' eating habits and practices.Conclusion and recommendations: Most of the studied adolescents exhibit unhealthy eating practices. Food addiction is identified as a significant health concern among this population. Therefore, it is highly recommended to provide nutritional education for adolescents and their families and implement schoolbased strategies to promote healthy eating habits.

“…The study shows satisfactory knowledge and attitude toward nutrition and diet during pregnancy but practices toward nutrition are still lacking among the study population. Thus, a significant gap is there in translating knowledge attitude into practice (Sangwan et al, 2022). The good knowledge of minimum dietary diversity for children 6-23 months old and a very low proportion of children 6-23 months old received diversified meals according to Infant and Young Child Feeding indicators.…”

BackgroundDespite global efforts, progress in reducing maternal malnutrition falls short of international goals, which is the same for Ethiopia, provided that studying dietary knowledge, attitude, and practice and their determinants is crucial to developing and implementing effective interventions, which this review tried to investigate in an Ethiopian context.MethodsWe searched on Scopus, HINARI, PubMed, and Google Scholar on January 3, 2024. We used the Joanna Briggs Institute’s (JBI’s) tools and the “preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) 2020 statement” to evaluate bias and frame the review, respectively. The data were analyzed using Stata 17. Certainty was assessed using sensitivity and subgroup analyses and the Luis Furuya-Kanamori (LFK) index. The random effects model was used to determine the effect estimates with a p value less than 0.05 and a 95% CI.ResultsThe pooled good dietary knowledge, favorable attitude, and good practice were 48.0% (95% CI: 39.0–57.0%), 47.0% (95% CI: 38.0–55.0%), and 34.0% (95% CI: 28.0–40.0%), respectively. Knowledge and attitude had bidirectional relationships and were affected by sociodemographic variables and gynecological issues. The dietary practice was influenced by urban residency (OR = 6.68, 95% CI: 2.49–10.87), food security (OR = 3.51, 95% CI: 1.02–5.99), knowledge (OR = 4.53, 95% CI: 3.22–5.74), nutrition information (OR = 3.07, 95% CI: 1.13–5.02), attitude (OR = 2.32, 95% CI: 1.34–3.30), family support (OR = 2.14, 95% CI: 1.43–2.85), perceived severity of malnutrition (OR = 2.07, 95% CI: 1.82–2.31), and positive perception of dietary benefit (OR = 2.19, 95% CI: 1.56–2.82).ConclusionThe good dietary practice was lower than the knowledge and the favorable attitude toward it. It was influenced by sociodemographic variables, income and wealth, knowledge and information, attitudes and intentions, gynecological and illness experiences, family support and decision-making, and expectations of nutrition outcomes and habits. Sociodemographic and gynecological issues were also found to influence both dietary knowledge and attitude, which were also found to have bidirectional relationships.Systematic review registration: PROSPERO identifier: CRD42023440688.
