<![CDATA[Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) are beverages that contain added sugars. Excessive consumption of SSB can have an impact on health. Some of the effects caused by SSB include obesity, fatty liver, type II diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, nutritional deficiencies, and dental caries. This research aims to determine the differences in the proportion of SSB consumption based on individual and environmental factors among students of the Faculty of Public Health UI (FPH UI) in 2023. This study uses a cross sectional design with a sample size of 194 individuals. The researcher collected data including respondent’s identities, habits of reading food labels, knowledge related to nutrition labels, self-efficacy (Adult Impact Questionnaire), frequency of using OFD services, stress level (Perceived Stress Scale), peer influence, social media influence, availability of SSB, and SSB consumption through self-administered online questionnaires completed by the respondents. The results indicate that 58.8% of FPH UI students consume SSB six or more times per week which is considered high consumption. The bivariate analysis shows a significant difference in proportions between knowledge related to nutrition information labels (OR=2.023), self-efficacy (OR=2.266), stress levels (OR=2.292), and the availability of SSB at home (OR=5.951) with SSB consumption. This study shows that knowledge related to nutritional information labels, self-efficacy, stress levels, and the availability of SSB in home increase the likelihood of SSB consumption among students.]]>
