Abstract: Unhealthy eating habit could lead to obesity. Obesity is always associated with the increase of blood cholesterol level (hypercholesterolemia). Increased cholesterol level is a risk factor of the death in young adult. This study was aimed to obtain the profile of total blood cholesterol levels among students of Faculty of Medicine Sam Ratulang University with body mass index (BMI) ≥23 kg/m2. This was a descriptive study. Samples were obtained by using total sampling method. There were 53 students involved in this study consisted of 22 males and 31 females. The results showed that 23 students (43.4%) had normal total cholesterol levels and 30 students (56.6 %) had low total cholesterol levels. Conclusion: More than half of the students of Faculty of Medicine Sam Ratulangi University with BMI ≥23 kg/m2 had low total cholesterol level.Keywords: total cholesterol, BMI ≥23 kg/m2. Abstrak: Kebiasaan makan yang tidak sesuai dengan kaidah sehat dapat mengakibatkan obesitas. Kondisi obesitas selalu dikaitkan dengan peningkatan kadar kolesterol dalam darah atau hiperkolesterolemia. Peningkatan kadar kolesterol merupakan factor risiko penyebab kematian di usia dewasa muda. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran kadar kolesterol total darah pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sam Ratulangi dengan indeks massa tubuh (IMT) ≥23 kg/m2. Jenis penelitian ialah deskriptif. Sampel diperoleh dengan metode total sampling. Penelitian ini diikuti oleh 53 orang subyek penelitian yang terdiri dari 22 orang laki-laki dan 31 orang perempuan. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan 23 orang (43,4%) memiliki kadar kolesterol total normal dan 30 orang (56,6%) memiliki kadar kolesterol total rendah. Simpulan: Lebih dari setengah mahasiwa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Sam Ratulangi dengan IMT ≥23 kg/m2 memiliki kadar kolesterol total rendah.Kata kunci: kolesterol total, IMT ≥23 kg/m2

This systematic review analyzed the prevalence of physical inactivity, sedentary behaviors and unhealthy eating habits among Brazilian adolescents. Searches were conducted in five databases (Lilacs, SciELO, Medline, Web of Science, and Google Scholar) and in the references cited in the articles retrieved. The literature search yielded 5,872 potentially relevant titles and a total of 69 studies met all the inclusion criteria. The risk behavior most often evaluated was physical inactivity (48/69; 69.6%), and its prevalence rate ranged from 2.3% to 93.5%. Twenty-eight studies estimated the prevalence of physical inactivity at over 50%. Most studies observed the prevalence of greater physical inactivity among girls. The prevalence of sedentary behaviors (lengthy screen time or TV use) was also frequently over 50%. Several variables were used to identify unhealthy eating habits, and some criteria/studies have indicated unhealthy eating habit estimates at close to 100% among adolescents. In conclusion, the estimates of these risk behaviors among Brazilians adolescents were very close to or even greater than those found in developed countries in several studies analyzed in this review.

Background: Childhood obesity is related to chronic diseases in the future, which could be prevented through changes in eating habit. Strategy in eating behaviour needs an in-depth understanding on contributing factors to unhealthy eating habits in school-age children. Meanwhile, evidence on those factors, especially related increased calorie intake, is still scarce in Indonesia. Objective: This study is aimed to explore the eating habit of primary school students with obesity in a private school in Yogyakarta. Method: A qualitative interview involving parents of obese children was performed at Sekolah Dasar Budya Wacana in January 2020. The transcripts were analysed using a thematic approach to acquire major themes related to the cause of unhealthy eating habits. Results: From 11 parents, there are two major themes developed, which are unhealthy eating habits and parental influences. There are two unhealthy eating habits discovered in this study, which are irregular mealtime and unhealthy food choices. Parental influence which commonly found in children with obesity is permissive parenting style. Conclusion: This study found similar result with previous studies on unhealthy food choices. However, irregular mealtime in this study is not consistent with other literatures which shows a lack of association with childhood obesity, hence need further research to explore the relationship. Permissive parenting style, which commonly found in younger population also play an important role in children unhealthy food choice. This study revealed that health behaviour change strategy in obese children should consider focussing on healthy food preferences with support from parents and family.

Few studies have examined the association between the accumulation of unhealthy eating habits and the likelihood of obesity or central obesity in a general Japanese population. We examined this association in a sample of 1906 community-dwelling Japanese subjects (age: 40–74 years) who participated in a health check-up in 2014. A face-to-face questionnaire interview was conducted to collect information about three unhealthy eating habits, i.e., snacking, eating quickly, and eating late-evening meals. Obesity was defined as body mass index ≥25 kg/m2 and central obesity was defined as waist circumference ≥90 cm in men and ≥80 cm in women. The odds ratios (OR) were estimated by using a logistic regression analysis. Subjects with any one of the three eating habits had a significantly higher likelihood of obesity than those without that habit after adjusting for confounding factors. The multivariable-adjusted OR for obesity increased linearly with an increase in the number of accumulated unhealthy eating habits (p for trend < 0.001). Similar associations were observed for central obesity. Our findings suggest that modifying each unhealthy eating habit and avoiding an accumulation of multiple unhealthy eating habits might be important to reduce the likelihood of obesity.

Background: Obesity is one of serious nutritional problems in Indonesia. Based on health profile of Central Java in 2015, Salatiga has the highest percentage of obesity problem counted 71.8% of 561,621 cases. Obesity in elderly are mostly caused by degenerative function of organs which lead to diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and heart disease. Objective: This study aimed to identify elders’ eating habits, their knowledge of obesity and to identify correlation between the knowledge and obesity. Methods: Observational survey technique by using interview, observation, and questionnaire method was employed to 89 respondents. Correlation among all variables was measured by utilizing Pearson Correlation Coefficient. Results: As many as 10.8% of elderly are obese. Their knowledge regarding Pedoman Gizi Seimbang (PGS) is in sufficient category (69,7%). The respondents had unhealthy eating habit by consuming high carbohydrates and fats which might influence the incidence of  obesity. There is no statistical correlation between respondents' knowledge and eating habits (r=-0.37, p>0,05). Conclusion: Even though there is no statistical correlation between respondents’ knowledge and their eating habits, there might be other factors such as age, sex, education, occupation, socio-economic, and family roles that need to be investigated as influencing factors to the obesity incidence in this population.  Keywords:Obesity, elderly, knowledge, dietary history, Salatiga
