Abstract Background: This research aims to investigate the prevalence of fast food consumption among medical students at the University of Cyberjaya and identify socio-demographic factors influencing their dietary choices.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted, involving 500 medical students. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on socio-demographic characteristics, fast food consumption patterns, personal preferences, and access to fast food outlets.
Results: Age and gender were not significant predictors of fast food consumption. However, family income, pocket money, personal preferences, and proximity to fast food outlets showed a significant association with fast food consumption. Students with higher family incomes and pocket money, along with a liking for fast food and easy access to fast food outlets, were more likely to consume fast food regularly.
Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of socio-demographic factors and environmental influences in determining fast food consumption among medical students. Health promotion efforts should target these factors to encourage healthier dietary habits among university populations.
Keywords fast food, medical students, socio-demographic factors, dietary choices, health promotion.
