- Abstract
Aim: This study sought to identify among adolescents about their nutritional status and the factors associated with characteristics such as sleep, stress, diet, and problem with weight. Background: Adolescents are commonly regarded as a healthy period in life aged between 10 and 19. Inactivity, in particular, television viewing, has been associated with obesity in cross-sectional studies of children, adolescents, and adults. Lack of accurate information, absence of proper guidance, parent's ignorance, lack of skills, and insufficient services from health-care delivery system are the major barriers. Reason: This study is to identify the factors associated among adolescents. Results: The results of this study are in agreement with others reporting the intake of unhealthy food habits among college students, especially with regard to the low consumption of fruit and vegetables, milk and dairy products, fish, eggs, pulses, and the excessive consumption of meat, sausages, and sweets. Human nutrition refers to the provision of essential nutrients to support life and health. Students should maintain their time management to remain fit.
