Introduction: Obesity has become a worldwide epidemic health problem. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that more than 1.9 billion adults aged 18 years and over are overweight and 600 million of them are obese. In 2014 an estimated 41 million children under the age of 5 are obese. Objectives: aiming to determine the effect of the influence of fast food consumption, breakfast intake and physical activity on the incidence of obesity in adolescent girls at the Bekasi 13th high school in 2019. Method: This study uses the Stuctural Equation Modeling (SEM) method with the Crossapproach Sectional. The total population in this study was 118 respondents, the determination of the number of samples that were reseventative with a total sample of 70 respondents taken using accidental sampling technique. The research instrument was tested for validity and reliability testing, the instrument used in this study was a questionnaire. Result: The results in this study there is a direct effect of fast food consumption on the incidence of obesity (9.45%, T Statistic 4.06%, α 5%), there is a direct effect on breakfast intake on the incidence of obesity (4.04%, T Statistic 3, 04%, α 5%), there is a direct influence of physical activity on the incidence of obesity (5.00%, Statistical T value 2.67% α 5%). Conclution: The conclusion is there is the influence of fast food consumption, breakfast intake and physical activity on the incidence of obesity in adolescent girls in Bekasi 13th High School in 2019. The suggestion is expected that adolescents reduce consuming fast food so that health is maintained and prevent obesity.

Much of what is known about food insecurity (FI) experiences for young people is based on caregiver report. As such, our understanding of relationships between youth FI and dietary intake (DI) may be limited, particularly among adolescents who often eat away from home. This study examined relationships between youth-reported past-month FI, past-week DI, and school lunch behavior. Data are from middle and high school participants in the 2019 Minnesota Student Survey (N = 125,375), one of the longest-running youth surveys in the US. Logistic regression assessed relationships between FI and DI, including fruit, vegetable, milk, sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB), and fast food consumption, and school lunch behavior, adjusting for demographic, physical, and emotional health indicators. Past-month FI was associated with reduced odds of meeting minimum thresholds for daily fruit, vegetable, and milk intake, and increased odds of daily SSB and frequent fast food consumption. Among food-insecure students, no participation in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) or NSLP participation uncertainty was associated with increased odds of skipping lunch. Findings suggest the importance of clinical and community innovations to prevent the loss of nutritional quality in favor of energy density for youth and families experiencing FI.

Abstract Background Health literacy (HL) may affect the consumption of fast food. We aimed to evaluate the effect of HL on fast food consumption among adult populations in Iran. Methods We evaluated HL and fast food consumption in 421 adult participants with age range of 18–65 years old in Fasa, Fars Province, southern Iran. Two-step cluster and systematic sampling was performed to recruit the study sample. Data were collected using a fast food consumption checklist, and the Health Literacy Instrument for Adults (HELIA) by face-to-face interviews. Population data across groups with and without fast food intake were compared. Results Most participants used fast food every few months (49.9%). People with low or unstable income consumed more fast food than others (P < 0.05). Sandwich and hotdog were the most consumed fast food (60.8%) followed by pizza (34.9%). Sausage and soda were the most seasoning food (66.7%). Most participants used fast food as dinner (67.9%) and with family (72.2%), suggesting the institutionalized consumption of this type of food in the family. Fun was the most frequent reason for the use of fast food (66.5%). Most participants completely knew about the raw materials for fast food and their adverse effects. Finally, we found that overall health literacy was lower among those who used fast food than those who did not. Consumed fast food (68.16 ± 23.85 vs. 73.15 ± 20.15; p = 0.021). This difference was also observed for some components of health literacy including reading skills, and decision-making subscales. Conclusions The findings suggest there is a negative relationship between general health literacy and fast food consumption indicating that who possess lower level of health literacy is likely to consume more fast food. Specifically, the findings suggest that reading skills, and decision-making (behavioral intention) are more associated with decreased or increased fast food intake.
