The purpose of this project was to examine the cross(sectional associations between fast food
consumption with variables such as nutrient intake, food choices, body weight as well as personal,
behavioral and environmental variables, in a community(based sample of university students.
$N!&ODUC!$ON
!apid development coupled with globali0ation has resulted in the emergence of fast food culture. %ast
food is has gainedingpopularity due to a couple of reasons. because p"eople these days are working
longer hours, on shifts, or schooling extended hours. They have less time to cook and fast foods are
uick, easy to get and while some have more money to spend, others find it as a way of sociali0ing
with friends. The clever marketing strategy by fast food restaurant chains has also contributed to their
rapid expansion. Today, many of the biggest merican fast food brands such as 3%4, 'conald5s and
#ubway are available all over the world. %or instance, 'conald6s is located in 12/ countries on /
continents and operates over +1, restaurants worldwide 7884 World service9.
While some fast food restaurant chains5 effort to reinvent them to be more :healthy;, nevertheless, fast
food is still regarded as the driving force behind the epidemic of diet(related health conditions. %ast
food, which is associated with high sugar, high fat and high sodium content, has been shown to
increase caloric intake, promote weight gain, and elevate the risk for diabetes 7"oti et al, 21+9.*n our
country, fast food has become a prominent feature in the diet of both children and adults. s a result,
the freuency of obesity has risen at an alarming rate in all ages and ethnic groups. Today, 'alaysia is
ranked sixth in the sia("acific region for obesity and tops the list in #outh(

The subject of our interest is the students of Dniversity of 'alaya. 'ost of the students in Dniversity of
'alaya stay in the residential colleges located in the campus. The residential colleges do not provide
any facilities to cook, thus,students opt to eat outside. %ast food is a very renowned choice among
university students as it offers variation in terms of menus as well as provides foods with affordable
prices. 'oreover, fast food restaurants have brilliant marketing strategies such as providing 2 hours
services and fast delivery to their customers. The hectic life of university students together with the
availability and affordability of fast food makes it a popular choice among students.
'ost dietary intake of college students does not meet daily reuirements for most of the food
groups11AAA . The 1>>- Eational 4ollege =ealth !isk 8ehaviour #urvey found that ?@ of college
students did not eat the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables per day and 22@ had eaten +
or higher more fat foods daily12AA . Eutrition professionals are concerned of about these behaviours due
to dietary knowledge$ as belief and behavior practiced during college may last topass on into
adulthood and influence future their health statusin the future.
=ence, Tthe purpose of this project was to examine the cross(sectional associations between fast food
consumption with variables such as nutrient intake, food choices, and body weight as well as personal,
behavioral and environmental variables, in a community(based sample of university students. better
understanding of the nutritional, behavioral and psychosocial factors among adolescents and its
association with the freuency of consumption at fast food restaurants could help identify whether this
widespread sociocultural phenomenon is of concern, with respect to young adults5 nutrition, and could
provide useful descriptive information for potential interventions.

There is a strong association between fast food consumption freuency and self(concern about health
among 'alay 7A9races. The Pgroup who which never consumed fast food,are more concerned of
their health 7'!J -/.?-9 compared to the group who that ateeat fast food 1(2 times per week
7'!J+?.-9. Those who are more health concernedare more likely to monitor their diet and hence ,
shun away from fast food.
=owever, fast food consumption freuency has shown no relationship with 8ody 'ass *ndex 78'*9,
self(perception of over(weight,weight$ attempt to lose weight, attendance on for medical check(up,
perceived health score and parenting style. This is maybecould be due to beboth 8'* and heatlh are
both influenced by multifactorial variables and their association with fast food cannot be observed in
short term.

There is was no significant relationship between fast food consumption freuency between and type of

values and ingredients contents of fast food, and awareness on association of fast food with non(

=owever, it was found that a vast majority of respondents preferedto order combo meals, and many
