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.

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.

Emotional eating merupakan perilaku konsumsi makanan secara berlebihan sebagai respons terhadap emosi negatif, dan dapat terjadi baik pada individu dengan berat badan normal maupun yang mengalami obesitas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara tingkat stres, kualitas tidur, aktivitas fisik, jenis kelamin, uang saku, beban akademik, persepsi body image, dan self-esteem dengan perilaku emotional eating pada mahasiswa S1 Departemen Arsitektur Fakultas Teknik Universitas Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain cross-sectional. Sebanyak 164 responden terlibat dalam penelitian melalui pengisian kuesioner daring menggunakan teknik quota sampling pada April–Mei 2025. Analisis dilakukan menggunakan uji chi-square dan regresi logistik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebanyak 59,1% responden memiliki kecenderungan Emotional eating, lalu sebagian besar responden memiliki kualitas tidur buruk (82,3%), stres sedang (53,7%), aktivitas fisik rendah (61,0%), jenis kelamin perempuan (56,1%), uang saku >Rp400.000 per minggu (62,8%), serta beban akademik tinggi (57,9%). Mayoritas juga memiliki persepsi body image positif (68,3%) dan self-esteem baik (64,6%). Hasil analisis bivariat menunjukkan bahwa semua variabel independen yang diteliti memiliki hubungan yang signifikan dengan perilaku emotional eating (p < 0,05). Di antara variabel-variabel tersebut, beban akademik dikonsiderasi sebagai faktor dominan yang berhubungan dengan estimasi paling presisi, nilai odds ratio (OR) menunjukkan sebesar 0,023 (95% CI: 0,002–0,257), yang menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa dengan beban akademik tinggi berisiko 97,7% lebih besar mengalami emotional eating dibandingkan mahasiswa dengan beban akademik rendah.

Emotional eating is an effort to cope with distressing emotions is a common eating pattern in which people often consume large amounts of food even when their physical hunger is not present. This behavior can occur in individuals with normal weight and those who are overweight or obese. This study explored the relationship between stress levels, sleep quality, physical activity, gender, weekly allowance, academic workload, body image perception, and self-esteem with emotional eating among undergraduate students at the Department of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Indonesia. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was used. Data were collected through an online questionnaire between April and May 2025 using a quota sampling technique. Data analysis was performed using chi-square tests and logistic regression. The findings The results showed that 59.1% of respondents demonstrated tendencies toward emotional eating. Most participants reported poor sleep quality (82.3%), moderate stress levels (53.7%), low physical activity (61.0%), were female (56.1%), had a weekly allowance above IDR 400,000 (62.8%), and experienced high academic workload (57.9%). In addition, the majority had a positive body image perception (68.3%) and good self-esteem (64.6%). Bivariate analysis revealed that all independent variables were significantly associated with emotional eating (p < 0.05). Among these, academic workload emerged as the most dominant factor, with a precise estimate and an odds ratio (OR) of 0.023 (95% CI: 0.002–0.257), indicating that students with a high academic workload were 97.7% more likely to experience emotional eating compared to those with a low workload.
