AbstractObjectiveTo investigate factors (ability, motivation and the environment) that act as barriers to limiting fast-food consumption in women who live in an environment that is supportive of poor eating habits.DesignCross-sectional study using self-reports of individual-level data and objectively measured environmental data. Multilevel logistic regression was used to assess factors associated with frequency of fast-food consumption.SettingSocio-economically disadvantaged areas in metropolitan Melbourne, Australia.SubjectsWomen (n 932) from thirty-two socio-economically disadvantaged neighbourhoods living within 3 km of six or more fast-food restaurants. Women were randomly sampled in 2007–2008 as part of baseline data collection for the Resilience for Eating and Activity Despite Inequality (READI) study.ResultsConsuming low amounts of fast food was less likely in women with lower perceived ability to shop for and cook healthy foods, lower frequency of family dining, lower family support for healthy eating, more women acquaintances who eat fast food regularly and who lived further from the nearest supermarket. When modelled with the other significant factors, a lower perceived shopping ability, mid levels of family support and living further from the nearest supermarket remained significant. Among those who did not perceive fruits and vegetables to be of high quality, less frequent fast-food consumption was further reduced for those with the lowest confidence in their shopping ability.ConclusionsInterventions designed to improve women's ability and opportunities to shop for healthy foods may be of value in making those who live in high-risk environments better able to eat healthily.

Prevalence Of Anemia

According to WHO, the prevalence of anemia is highest in South Asia, and India has the maximum prevalence of anemia among the South Asian countries. Anemia is major concern in developing countries like India. Thus, the present study explored the dietary factors influencing hemoglobin levels among college students. Adopting stratified and simple random sampling technique, this study is showed at 3 Arts and Science Colleges situated in North Chennai. This study is directed among 1000 students in the age group of 19 to 22 years. Interview schedule was used for collection of the details regarding the background information and eating habits of the participants. Biochemical tests are the most objective and sensitive measures of nutritional status. In the present study, hemoglobin is evaluated using Drabkin Method. The attained particulars are oblique and arrived into Microsoft excel. The oblique raw data are exposed to numerical study utilizing Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20.0. Hemoglobin levels of the participants were correlated with dietary habits. The prevalence of anemia was more among 19 years (73.4%), followed by 65% in 20 years, 54.6% in 21 years and 46% in 22 years. Hostel dwellers were more prone to anemia than the students resided with the parents, friends and relatives. Students residing at hostel tend to have a poor eating habit leading to low hemoglobin levels. Vegetarians are more prone to anemia when compared to mixed diet consumers and ova- vegetarians.

Background: Dental caries is an important social problem in India and is predominantly a disease of childhood. The prevalence and incidence of dental caries is influenced by various socio–demographic factors like age, sex, ethnic groups, dietary patterns and oral hygiene habits. The objective of the study were to estimate the prevalence of dental caries among the school going children aged between 5–10 years and to determine the risk factors associated with dental caries.Methods: A population based cross–sectional study was conducted among the primary school going children in Thirumazhisai from February 2016 to July 2016. Simple random sampling technique was employed and 357 children were identified for the study. Descriptive statistics was calculated for background variables and association between the risk factors and evidence of dental caries was analyzed by tests of proportions and chi square test was used as a statistical test of significance. Results: The overall prevalence of dental caries was found to be 63.9%. Higher prevalence of dental caries was found among the girls (54%), among the lower socioeconomic class (41.7%), among those who consumed mixed diet (74.8%), among those who consumed junk foods (62.6%) at least once every day and among those who consumed dairy products (58.9%) at least once every day. Dental caries was found to be low in prevalence among those who consumed fruits several times a week (6.1%), among those who brushed their teeth twice/more than twice a day (20.2%) and among those who washed their mouth after each meal (38.7%). Conclusions: Lack of awareness, improper dietary habits and poor oral hygienic practices are seemingly the contributing factors for the development of dental caries. Dental caries is a preventable disease which can be alleviated by creating community awareness through health education activities.

AbstractObjectiveTo examine the prevalence of fast-food consumption and the association between fast food and lifestyle factors in a representative sample of children and adolescents.DesignCross-sectional, observational study. Fast-food consumption and dietary habits were evaluated using questionnaires (KIDMED index). Anthropometric and physical fitness measurements were obtained by trained investigators. Physical activity (PA) status, sedentary activities and sleeping habits were assessed through self-completed questionnaires.SettingGreece.SubjectsPopulation data derived from a school-based health survey (EYZHN programme) carried out in 2015 on 177 091 (51 % boys) children aged 8–17 years.ResultsA greater proportion of boysv. girls (23·3v. 15·7 %,P<0·001) and of adolescentsv. children (26·9v. 17·1 %,P<0·001) reported they consume fast foods >1 time/week. Frequent fast-food consumption was strongly correlated with unhealthy dietary habits such as skipping breakfast and consuming sweets/candy regularly. Adjusting for several covariates, insufficient dietary habits, insufficient (<8–9 h/d) sleep, inadequate PA levels and increased screen time increased the odds (95 % CI) of being a frequent fast-food consumer by 77 % (0·218, 0·234), 30 % (1·270, 1·338), 94 % (1·887, 1·995) and 32 % (1·287, 1·357), respectively. Being overweight/obese or centrally obese did not correlate with frequency of fast-food consumption.ConclusionsFrequent fast-food consumption was associated with an unhealthy lifestyle profile among children and adolescents. The findings support the development of interventions to help children adopt healthier dietary habits.

AbstractObjectiveTo examine the association between television advertising exposure and adults’ consumption of fast foods.DesignCross-sectional telephone survey. Questions included measures of frequency of fast-food consumption at different meal times and average daily hours spent watching commercial television.Subjects/settingSubjects comprised 1495 adults (41 % response rate) aged ≥18 years from Victoria, Australia.ResultsTwenty-three per cent of respondents usually ate fast food for dinner at least once weekly, while 17 % consumed fast food for lunch on a weekly basis. The majority of respondents reported never eating fast food for breakfast (73 %) or snacks (65 %). Forty-one per cent of respondents estimated watching commercial television for ≤1 h/d (low viewers); 29 % watched for 2 h/d (moderate viewers); 30 % watched for ≥3 h/d (high viewers). After adjusting for demographic variables, high viewers were more likely to eat fast food for dinner at least once weekly compared with low viewers (OR = 1·45; 95 % CI 1·04, 2·03). Both moderate viewers (OR = 1·53; 95 % CI 1·01, 2·31) and high viewers (OR = 1·81; 95 % CI 1·20, 2·72) were more likely to eat fast food for snacks at least once weekly compared with low viewers. Commercial television viewing was not significantly related (P> 0·05) to fast-food consumption at breakfast or lunch.ConclusionsThe results of the present study provide evidence to suggest that cumulative exposure to television food advertising is linked to adults’ fast-food consumption. Additional research that systematically assesses adults’ behavioural responses to fast-food advertisements is needed to gain a greater understanding of the mechanisms driving this association.

Abstract Unlike fast and restaurant food, diet rich in fibre is known to contribute significantly to health. The aim of our study was to assess eating habits such as consumption of fibre-rich, fast, and restaurant food of the general population in Croatia. For this purpose we used a validated survey designed by the Polytechnic Institute Viseu in Portugal, which includes questions about demographics, good eating habits related to the consumption of the main sources of dietary fibre (fruit, vegetables, and whole grains), and unhealthy eating habits related to the consumption of fast food and restaurant meals. Between October 2014 and March 2015 we received answers from 2,536 respondents aged between 18-70 years, of whom 67.4 % were women and 32.6 % were men. Most respondents reported consuming one serving of vegetables and one piece of fruit a day, and whole grains every other day. Women and urban residents reported consuming larger amounts of fruit, vegetables, and whole grains than men (p<0.001). Men, in turn, reported eating out and eating fast food more often than women (p<0.001). Eating out highly correlated with eating fast food, which translates to lower consumption of dietary fibre (p<0.001). Higher education correlated positively with the consumption of fibre-rich food, but it also correlated positively with the consumption of fast and restaurant food (p<0.001). While eating fast food is not the predominant dietary practice in Croatia, over 50 % of respondents have reported eating fast food at least once a week. Our data also indicate that consumption of fruit, vegetables, and whole grains falls below the national and international dietary recommendations.

Objective: To determine the association of fast food intake and development of coronary heart disease with middle-aged men due to the nature of their job and eating habits. Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted among middle-aged males working in a different professional environment. The duration of the study was from March-October 2019. The calculated sample size was 385 and a Non-probability convenient sampling technique was used to collect data. Only Men aged 35-60 years of age working in different professional setups were included. Data was collected through a pre-structured questionnaire. Data was entered on IBM SPSS version 20. Results: The response rate to the survey was 85% while the completion rate of the survey was 94.5%. The mean age was 44.89 ±7.58 years having an average BMI of 25.94±3.89kg/m2. Out of these 311 men, 97.1% were a fast-food consumer. Fast food was more likely to be consumed by people who were doing a desk job than people whose nature was other than desk work (p=0.049). Among fast-food consumers, 40.7% had hypertension, 35.4% were obese, 22.5% had heart disease, and 21.9% had dyslipidemia. No significant association of heart disease (p=0.0689), obesity (p=1.00), hypertension (p=0.323) and dyslipidemia (p=0.213) was found with fast food consumption. Conclusion: Direct association between fast food and Coronary heart (CHD) disease is not significantly observed in the current study. However, dietary habits and the consumption of fast food have a profound effect on the development of predisposing factors of CHD. It is also concluded that long hours of desk job have a strong association with increased fast food intake due to its easy and quick availability within the short duration of time.

Background: Food waste problem in some hospitals in Indonesia is still quite high at >20%. The proportion of residual high enough lies in the morning meal. This results in inadequate nutrition intake so that it affects the length of stay and increases patient morbidity and mortality. Food waste can be due to individual factors, dietary habits, food intake, and food quality.Objectives: This study aims to analyze the relationship of depression, intake, and appearance of food with the waste of the morning meal in hospitalized patients.Methods: This was a cross sectional study involving 47 respondents that was chosen using a simple random sampling technique at the RSI Jemursari Surabaya. Morning food waste was collected for measurement using food scale; patient’s psychological condition, food intake and appearance of food were measured using questionnaires. Statistical analysis used was Spearman and Chi Square test. Results: Most of the respondents did not experience anxiety and depression disorder. Most respondents have less energy and protein intake. There was a relationship between depression (p=0.02) and energy intake (p=0.035) with the waste of the morning meal. There is a relationship of protein intake in the morning with the rest of the animal side (p = 0.002). However, there was no correlation between appearance (p = 0.64), large portion (p = 0.4), and presentation method (p=0.83) with waste of the morning meal.Conclusion: Food waste can be affected by a person's depression and food intake. Feeding the patient not only comes from hospital food alone, but from outside the hospital as well. However, food outside the hospital does not affect the intake so that the higher the patient leaves the food, the lower the intake of energy and protein. Communication and education should be done to patients to try to spend the food and pay attention to the intake.ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Permasalahan sisa makanan di beberapa rumah sakit di Indonesia masih cukup tinggi  yaitu >20%. Proporsi sisa yang cukup tinggi terletak pada makan pagi. Hal ini mengakibatkan asupan gizi tidak adekuat sehingga berdampak pada lamanya rawat inap dan meningkatkan morbiditas serta mortalitas pasien. Sisa makanan bisa disebabkan dari faktor individu, kebiasaan pola makan, asupan makan, dan mutu makanan.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan depresi, asupan, dan penampilan makanan dengan sisa makanan pagi pada pasien rawat inap.Metode: Merupakan penelitian observasional analitik studi cross sectional dengan sampel penelitian sebesar 47 pasien terpilih secara simple random sampling berada di RSI Jemursari Surabaya. Pengumpulan data meliputi penimbangan sisa makan pagi, wawancara keadaan psikis, asupan makan, dan penampilan makan pagi. Analisis data menggunakan uji spearman dan chi square.Hasil: Diketahui sebagian besar responden tidak mengalami gangguan kecemasan dan depresi. Sebagian besar responden memiliki asupan energi dan protein yang kurang. Terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara depresi (p=0,02) dan asupan energi (p=0,035) dengan sisa makanan pagi. Terdapat hubungan asupan protein pagi dengan sisa lauk hewani (p=0,002). Namun tidak terdapat hubungan antara penampilan yaitu warna (p=0,64), besar porsi (p=0,4), dan cara penyajian (p=0,83) dengan sisa makan pagi.Kesimpulan: Sisa makanan dapat dipengaruhi dari depresi seseorang dan asupan makannya. Asupan makan pasien tidak hanya berasal dari makanan rumah sakit saja, melainkan dari luar rumah sakit juga. Namun, makanan luar rumah sakit tidak mempengaruhi asupan sehingga semakin tinggi pasien menyisakan makanannya, maka semakin rendah asupan energi dan protein. Sebaiknya perlu dilakukan komunikasi dan edukasi kepada pasien supaya berusaha menghabiskan makanannya dan memperhatikan asupannya.
