| dc.description.abstract | Background: Overweight and obesity are an alarming global public health
problem. Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat
accumulation that may impair health. According to WHO, worldwide obesity has
nearly tripled since 1975. In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults, 18 years and
older, were overweight. Of these over 650 million were obese.39% of adults aged
18 years and over were overweight in 2016, and 13% were obese.41 million
children under the age of 5 were overweight or obese in 2016. Over 340 million
children and adolescents aged 5-19 were overweight or obese in 2016. This study
aimed to determine the consumption level of fat, protein and carbohydrate in
overweight/ obesity adolescents in Malang, East Java.
Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in some
Senior High Schools in Malang, East Java, from January to February, 2018. A
sample of 111 students with overweight and obese was selected for this study by
proportional random sampling. The dependent variable was nutritional status.
The independent variables were fat, protein, and carbohydrate consumption
level. The data were collected by 2 x 24 hours food recall and analyzed by logistic
regression.
Results: As many as 33 (29.7%) study subjects consumed fat that exceeded the
recommended daily allowance (RDA). Only 32 (28.8%) of them consumed fat
according to RDA. As many as 60 (54.1%) study subjects were undergoing low
carbohydrate diet.38.7%of them had deficient fat intake. The risk of overweight
increased with high fat consumption (OR= 5.38, 95% CI= 0.07 to 0.93, p=
0.038), high protein consumption (OR= 13.28, 95% CI= 2.33 to 35.12, p= 0.001),
and high carbohydrate consumption (OR= 0.14, 95% CI= 0.38 to 4.15, p= 0.704).
Conclusion: The risk of overweight increases with high fat and high protein
consumption in adolescents. High carbohydrate consumption does not show
significant effect on the risk of overweight. | en_US |
