Abstract

Coffee drinks are sugar-sweetened beverages made from coffee powder, sugar, and water through heating. High consumption of coffee drinks is associated with sugar content, which can increase the risk of obesity. The aim of this study was to determine the differences in coffee drink consumption levels based on individual characteristics and environmental factors among non-health undergraduate students at the University of Indonesia in 2023. This quantitative study used a cross-sectional design with a sample of 181 active undergraduate non-health students in 2023. Data were collected in June 2023 through a self-administered questionnaire. The results showed that 52.5% of the respondents had a high level of coffee drink consumption (≥ 3-4 times per week). Bivariate analysis revealed significant differences in coffee drink consumption based on smoking behavior, peer influence, availability of coffee at home, and accessibility (p-value < 0.05). Multivariate analysis indicated that peer influence was the dominant factor influencing students' coffee drink consumption. The researchers suggest that students increase their awareness and encourage their social circle to limit excessive coffee consumption. Additionally, relevant health institutions are advised to provide education and increase information about recommended limits of coffee consumption and information about recommended coffee consumption limits.
