Abstract

Background: Body image dissatisfaction may lead to the practice of imbalanced diet to achieve the desired body weight. This study aimed to determine the association between body image perception and food intake among undergraduate students. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on the data of 155 students from three faculties located at National University of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur. Assessments included demographic data, body mass index, Contour Drawing Rating Scale, and 3-day food records. Results: The majority of the subjects were categorized as normal weight (64.5%), and the remaining were classified as underweight (26.5%), overweight (7.7%), and obese (1.3%). Body image dissatisfaction was observed in 80.6% of men and 87.9% of women. The majority of male subjects desired a large body, and the female subjects wanted a thin body. Body image dissatisfaction differed among the body mass index categories for both genders (p < 0.05). The mean intake of energy, potassium, calcium, thiamine, folate, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin B12, vitamin K, magnesium, and copper intake among the participants was below the recommended amount. Body image dissatisfaction was negatively correlated with calorie intake (r = −0.164, p < 0.05). Conclusions: The perception of having a large body size is associated with low-calorie intake among university students. Nutrition education programs are warranted to ensure healthy and balanced eating practices in this population.

Abstract

This cross-sectional study, involving 250 healthy undergraduate students, aimed to examine the association between Ultra-Processed Food (UPF) consumption and mental health status. Mental health was assessed using the 12-Item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), where participants were classified as either normal or high-risk based on their scores. Subsequently, dietary intake was assessed using the Dietary History Questionnaire (DHQ), examining meals throughout the day. Additionally, the degree of food processing was classified using the NOVA food classification. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the relationship between mental health status, ultra-processed food consumption, and the contributing factors. The average daily energy intake was 1,216±488 kcal, with 25.7% coming from ultra-processed foods. Those at higher risk for mental health issues typically had a slightly lower fat percentage (26.5±8.5%) but a higher total body water percentage (50.6±4.7%) compared to those with normal mental health. Even after adjustment for confounding factors, high consumption of ultra-processed foods remained strongly associated with an increased risk of mental health problems (OR=2.196, 95% CI:1.056–4.566, p=0.035). Further research is needed to fully understand the effects of ultra-processed foods on mental health and enhance awareness of their risks while promoting fresh, minimally processed alternatives.

Abstract

This study explored the relationship among socio-demographic factors, patients’ dietary adherence, and the Quality of Life (QoL) experienced by their caregivers. A cross-sectional study was carried out, involving 66 caregivers of pediatric patients in Malaysia diagnosed Amino Acid Metabolism Disorders (AAMDs). Dietary adherence was assessed using a modified version of the Malaysia Medication Adherence Assessment Tool (MyMAAT-12), and the caregiver’s QoL was evaluated using the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF 36) questionnaire. Majority of the patients were Malay (75.76%), and female (59.1%). Statistical analysis found that caregivers with a higher education level were associated with a higher dietary adherence (rs (64)=0.382, p=0.002) and better mental health (rs (64)=0.281, p=0.022). The age of patients had negative significant correlation with the physical function and general health (rs (64)=0.287, p=0.019) of their caregivers. Besides that, dietary adherence was negatively correlated with social functioning (p=0.010), role limited due to physical health (p=0.018), role limited due to emotional problems (p=0.022), vitality (p=0.021), mental health (p=0.014) and pain (p=0.011). Conclusion: Dietary adherence had a significant impact on the QoL for caregivers of patients with amino acid metabolism disorders. Therefore, it is crucial to explore appropriate treatment strategies and provide support to enhance patients' adherence to their dietary requirements, simultaneously improving the caregivers' QoL.
