<![CDATA[Background: The prevalence of overweight and obesity among university students Indonesia has been rising, with food choices playing a central role in both nutritional and environmental outcomes. However, evidence on knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) toward sustainable diets and their relationship with food choice motives among students with overweight and obesity remains absent in the Indonesian context. This study aimed to determine the association between KAP of sustainable diets and food choice motives among overweight and obese students at IPB University (Institut Pertanian Bogor). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at IPB University Dramaga Campus, Bogor. A total of 97 subjects from undergraduate and postgraduate students from non-nutrition majors were recruited with a purposive sampling technique. Bivariate analysis was performed using the Spearman rank correlation test, and multivariate analysis was performed using binary logistic regression. Results: Most of the subjects (86.6%) had a poor knowledge. Similarly, attitude and practice were also predominantly poor (76.3% and 92.8%, respectively). Spearman correlation analysis revealed significant associations between knowledge and attitude, knowledge and practice, and attitude and practice (p<0.05). The multivariate analysis demonstrated that a good attitude towards a sustainable diet was significantly associated with food choice motives among IPB University Students with overweight and obesity (OR=5.280; 95%CI=1.768-15.769; p=0.003). Conclusion: Attitude of sustainable diet was significantly associated with food choice motives among IPB University students with overweight and obesity. University health programs should integrate sustainable diet education targeting attitudinal change, particularly among students with excess body weight.]]>
