Obesitas sentral merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang prevalesinya selalu mengalami peningkatan, termasuk pada dewasa muda. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti hubungan antara asupan gizi dan faktor-faktor lainnya yang berhubungan dengan obesitas sentral pada mahasiswa Fakultas Teknik Universitas Indonesia. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan desain studi cross-sectional dengan 108 responden. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan kuesioner melalui platform Google Form, serta pengukuran antropometri dan SQ-FFQ secara tatap muka. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara status merokok dengan obesitas sentral yang bersifat sebagai faktor protektif (p-value 0,003). Sementara itu, tidak terdapat hubungan signifikan antara asupan energi (p-value 0,652), karbohidrat (p-value 0,957), protein (p-value 0,786), lemak (p-value 0,87), aktivitas fisik (p-value 0,423), tingkat stres (p-value 0,081), serta pengetahuan gizi (p-value 0,859). Diharapkan hasil penelitian ini dapat meningkatkan kesadaran mahasiswa terhadap obesitas sentral dan pemeliharaan kesehatan secara umum dengan menganut pola hidup yang lebih sehat, seperti membatasi makanan tinggi gula, garam, dan lemak; meningkatkan aktivitas fisik, strategi manajemen stres, serta mengurangi konsumsi rokok.

Central obesity is a major public health concern with a steadily increasing prevalence, including among young adults. This study aims to examine the relationship between nutrient intake and other contributing factors associated with central obesity among students of the Faculty of Engineering at Universitas Indonesia. This research employed a cross-sectional study design involving 108 respondents. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires distributed via Google Forms, along with face-to-face anthropometric measurements and a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQ-FFQ). The results showed a significant association between smoking status and central obesity, indicating smoking as a protective factor (p-value 0.003). In contrast, no significant associations were found between central obesity and energy intake (p-value 0.652), carbohydrate intake (p-value 0.957), protein intake (p-value 0.786), fat intake (p-value 0.87), physical activity (p-value 0.423), stress levels (p-value 0.081), or nutrition knowledge (p-value 0.859). These findings are expected to raise student awareness about central obesity and encourage better health maintenance through healthier lifestyle practices, such as limiting high sugar, salt, and fat intake; increasing physical activity; applying stress management strategies; and reducing tobacco use.

Hipertensi mulai menjadi masalah kesehatan pada kelompok dewasa muda. Obesitas sentral yang dinilai menggunakan rasio lingkar pinggang terhadap tinggi badan (RLPTB) diduga berhubungan dengan peningkatan tekanan darah. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui gambaran serta hubungan sentral, faktor sosiodemografi, dan gaya hidup dengan kejadian hipertensi serta tekanan darah sistolik dan diastolik pada mahasiswa baru Universitas Indonesia tahun 2025. Penelitian menggunakan desain potong lintang dengan analisis data sekunder terhadap 392 mahasiswa. Analisis dilakukan menggunakan uji chi-square, uji beda rerata, regresi logistik, dan regresi linear berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 62,2% responden mengalami sentral dan 31,3% mengalami hipertensi. Rerata tekanan darah sistolik dan diastolik masing-masing sebesar 127,38 ± 13,79 mmHg dan 81,91 ± 10,03 mmHg. Sebanyak 63,5% responden kurang mengonsumsi sayur dan buah, 53,5% memiliki konsumsi makanan tinggi natrium kategori tinggi, 50,5% memiliki konsumsi minuman manis kategori tinggi, dan 57,9% memiliki durasi tidur kurang. sentral berhubungan dengan kejadian hipertensi (OR = 2,423; 95% CI: 1,504–3,903; p < 0,001), tekanan darah sistolik, dan diastolik (p < 0,001). Jenis kelamin berhubungan dengan hipertensi dan tekanan darah sistolik, sedangkan aktivitas fisik hanya berhubungan dengan tekanan darah sistolik. Pendapatan orang tua, konsumsi sayur dan buah, makanan tinggi natrium, minuman manis, serta durasi tidur tidak berhubungan secara bermakna dengan hipertensi maupun tekanan darah sistolik dan diastolik. Setelah dikontrol seluruh variabel sosiodemografi dan gaya hidup, mahasiswa dengan sentral memiliki odds 2,450 kali untuk mengalami hipertensi (95% CI: 1,484–4,026; p < 0,001). Mahasiswa dengan obesitas juga memiliki tekanan darah sistolik 5,552 mmHg dan diastolik 5,010 mmHg lebih tinggi dibandingkan mahasiswa yang tidak obesitas. Disimpulkan bahwa sentral berhubungan dengan hipertensi serta peningkatan tekanan darah sistolik dan diastolik pada mahasiswa baru.

Hypertension is becoming an increasingly important health concern among young adults. Central obesity, assessed using the waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), is believed to be associated with elevated blood pressure. This study aimed to describe and examine the associations of central obesity, sociodemographic factors, and lifestyle factors with hypertension, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure among first-year students at Universitas Indonesia in 2025. This study used a cross-sectional design and secondary data from 392 students. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test, mean difference tests, logistic regression, and multiple linear regression. The results showed that 62.2% of the respondents had central obesity and 31.3% had hypertension. The mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures were 127.38 ± 13.79 mmHg and 81.91 ± 10.03 mmHg, respectively. A total of 63.5% of the respondents had inadequate fruit and vegetable intake, 53.5% had a high frequency of high-sodium food consumption, 50.5% had a high frequency of sugar-sweetened beverage consumption, and 57.9% had insufficient sleep duration. Central obesity was associated with hypertension (OR = 2.423; 95% CI: 1.504–3.903; p < 0.001), systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure (p < 0.001). Sex was associated with hypertension and systolic blood pressure, whereas physical activity was associated only with systolic blood pressure. Parental income, fruit and vegetable intake, high-sodium food consumption, sugar-sweetened beverage consumption, and sleep duration were not significantly associated with hypertension, systolic blood pressure, or diastolic blood pressure. After adjustment for all sociodemographic and lifestyle variables, students with central obesity had 2.450 times higher odds of hypertension than those without central obesity (95% CI: 1.484–4.026; p < 0.001). Students with central obesity also had systolic and diastolic blood pressures that were 5.552 mmHg and 5.010 mmHg higher, respectively, than those without central obesity. In conclusion, central obesity was associated with hypertension and increased systolic and diastolic blood pressure among first-year students.

Kejadian gizi lebih di mahasiswa menjadi isu kesehatan global akibat perubahan gaya hidup saat transisi ke perguruan tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan melihat hubungan antara asupan energi, asupan karbohidrat, asupan lemak, asupan protein, asupan serat, durasi tidur, aktivitas fisik, pengetahuan gizi, dan stres akademik dengan kejadian gizi lebih berdasarkan waist to height ratio (WHtR) pada 146 mahasiswa FKM UI Tahun 2025 yang dipilih menggunakan teknik proportional stratified random sampling. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan desain cross sectional. Data analisis penelitian ini menggunakan chi-square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebanyak 32,2% mahasiswa FKM UI Tahun 2025 mengalami gizi lebih. Namun, tidak ditemukan hubungan signifikan antara seluruh variabel independen (asupan energi, asupan karbohidrat, asupan lemak, asupan protein, asupan serat, durasi tidur, aktivitas fisik, pengetahuan gizi, dan stres akademik) dengan kejadian gizi lebih (p-value > 0,05). Meskipun demikian, terdapat beberapa variabel yang memiliki kecenderungan gizi lebih pada mahasiswa dengan asupan serat rendah, durasi tidur kurang, pengetahuan gizi rendah, dan tingkat stres akademik tinggi. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan edukasi gizi kepada mahasiswa FKM UI Tahun 2025 melalui pihak fakultas maupun organisasi mahasiswa untuk mendorong penerapan gaya hidup sehat dalam upaya pencegahan kejadian gizi lebih di kalangan mahasiswa

Overnutrition among university students has become a global health issue due to lifestyle changes during the transition to college. This study aimed to examine the relationship between energy intake, carbohydrate intake, fat intake, protein intake, fiber intake, sleep duration, physical activity, nutrition knowledge, and academic stress with overnutrition based on waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) among 146 FKM UI students in 2025 selected using proportional stratified random sampling. This research used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. The results showed that 32.2% of students experienced overnutrition. However, no significant association was found between the independent variables (energy intake, carbohydrate intake, fat intake, protein intake, fiber intake, sleep duration, physical activity, nutrition knowledge, and academic stress) and overnutrition (p-value > 0.05). Nonetheless, students with low fiber intake, short sleep duration, low nutrition knowledge, and high academic stress showed a tendency toward overnutrition. Therefore, nutrition education is needed for FKM UI students through faculty and student organizations to promote healthy lifestyles in preventing overnutrition.

Stres merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan mental yang umum dialami mahasiswa dan dapat memengaruhi kesejahteraan psikologis maupun performa akademik. Berbagai faktor gaya hidup, seperti konsumsi probiotik, asupan serat, konsumsi ultra-processed food (UPF), aktivitas fisik, dan kualitas tidur diduga berperan terhadap kejadian stres. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan konsumsi probiotik dan faktor lainnya dengan tingkat stres pada mahasiswa FKM UI tahun 2026. Penelitian menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan desain cross-sectional pada 138 mahasiswa FKM UI. Data dianalisis secara univariat dan bivariat menggunakan uji Chi-square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 58% mahasiswa mengalami stres tinggi. Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara tahun studi (p=0,002), konsumsi UPF (p=0,003; OR=2,9; 95% CI=1,4–6,0), dan kualitas tidur (p<0,001; OR=4,3; 95% CI=1,9–9,6) dengan kejadian stres. Sementara itu, tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara konsumsi probiotik, jenis kelamin, asupan serat, dan aktivitas fisik dengan kejadian stres (p>0,05). Meskipun demikian, aktivitas fisik menunjukkan kecenderungan. Oleh karena itu, mahasiswa diharapkan menerapkan pola hidup sehat, terutama dengan menjaga kualitas tidur untuk membantu mengurangi risiko stres. Fakultas juga diharapkan mendukung upaya promosi kesehatan mental dan perilaku hidup sehat di lingkungan kampus. Penelitian selanjutnya disarankan menggunakan desain longitudinal serta analisis multivariat untuk memahami hubungan faktor gaya hidup dan stres secara lebih mendalam. Kata kunci: stres, konsumsi UPF, kualitas tidur, tahun studi, mahasiswa.

Stress is a common mental health problem among university students and may affect both psychological well-being and academic performance. Various lifestyle factors, including probiotic consumption, dietary fiber intake, ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption, physical activity, and sleep quality, are believed to be associated with stress. This study aimed to examine the relationship between probiotic consumption and other factors with stress among students of the FKM UI, in 2026. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 138 students. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Chi-square test. The results showed that 50.7% of students experienced high stress. Significant associations were found between year of study (p=0,002), UPF consumption (p=0,003; OR=2,9; 95% CI=1,4–6,0), and sleep quality (p<0,001; OR=4,3; 95% CI=1,9–9,6) and stress. Meanwhile, no significant associations were found between probiotic consumption, sex, dietary fiber intake, physical activity, and stress (p>0.05). Nevertheless, physical activity showed a tendency toward an association with stress. Therefore, students are encouraged to adopt healthy lifestyle behaviors, particularly by maintaining good sleep quality to reduce the risk of stress. The faculty is also expected to support mental health promotion and healthy lifestyle programs within the campus environment. Future studies are recommended to employ longitudinal designs and multivariate analyses to further explore the relationship between lifestyle factors and stress.
