An increase in the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) has been observed among students of the Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Indonesia (FKM UI) over the years. This study aims to examine the frequency of SSB consumption and the determinants of SSB consumption behavior based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), along with other factors, among FKM UI students in 2025. A cross-sectional design was employed, with primary data collected through self-administered questionnaires completed by 158 respondents selected using stratified random sampling. Cross-tabulation and the chi-square test were then undertaken to investigate the associations between the variables. The results of this study indicate that 75.3% of respondents consumed SSB at a high frequency (≥ 2 times per week), and reveal significant associations between SSB consumption and stress level (p = 0.005; OR = 2.865; 95% CI = 1.355–6.042) and the SSB availability at home (p = 0.001; OR = 3.779; 95% CI = 1.730–8.256). Therefore, FKM UI students are advised to take more attention towards their SSB consumption by reducing its availability at home or limiting access to SSB, and managing stress through healthy methods.

Sugar-Sweetened Beverages (SSB) merupakan minuman berpemanis yang mengandung gula berkalori tambahan dan dapat menyebabkan resistensi insulin, penumpukan lemak, hingga obesitas yang meningkatkan risiko penyakit metabolik. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui perbedaan konsumsi SSB berdasarkan karakteristik individu, faktor lingkungan, dan gaya hidup pada mahasiswa Rumpun Ilmu Kesehatan (RIK) dan non-RIK di Universitas Indonesia tahun 2025. Desain penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif cross-sectional dengan pengumpulan data melalui kuesioner daring pada 191 mahasiswa. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa 50,2% mahasiswa mengonsumsi SSB tinggi (≥6 kali/minggu), dengan proporsi lebih tinggi pada mahasiswa non-RIK (53,1%) dibanding RIK (46,8%). Konsumsi SSB secara signifikan berbeda berdasarkan sikap terhadap konsumsi SSB (p=0,007), tingkat stres (p=0,017), pengaruh iklan (p=0,022), dan kebiasaan merokok (p=0,037). Mahasiswa disarankan untuk membatasi atau tidak sama sekali mengonsumsi SSB untuk mencegah dampak negatif terhadap kesehatan metabolik.

Sugar-Sweetened Beverages (SSBs) are sweetened drinks containing added caloric sugar, which can lead to insulin resistance, fat accumulation, and obesity, increasing the risk of metabolic diseases. This study aimed to examine differences in SSB consumption based on individual characteristics, environmental factors, and lifestyle among health science (RIK) and non-health science (non-RIK) students at Universitas Indonesia in 2025. A cross-sectional quantitative design was used, with data collected through an online questionnaire completed by 191 students. The results showed that 50.2% of students had high SSB consumption (≥6 times per week), with a higher proportion among non-RIK students (53.1%) compared to RIK students (46.8%). Significant differences in SSB consumption were found based on attitudes toward SSB (p=0,007), stress levels (p=0,017), advertising influence (p=0,022), and smoking habits (p=0,037). It is recommended to limit or completely avoid the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) to reduce the risk of metabolic health issues.

Berbagai masalah gizi yang timbul pada mahasiswa dapat disebabkan karena adanya perubahan gaya hidup terutama pola makan. Tidak jarang mahasiswa melewatkan waktu makan yang nantinya akan berpengaruh pada kesehatan dan performanya baik secara akademik maupun non akademik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan kebiasaan meals skipping pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kesehatan Masyarakat Universitas Indonesia angkatan 2021-2024. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode cross-sectional yang melibatkan 152 responden. Pengambilan data dilakukan pada bulan Mei melalui pengisian kuesioner secara online. Sebagian besar mahasiswa FKM UI memiliki kebiasaan meals skipping (78,3%). Berdasarkan hasil uji bivariat didapatkan hubungan yang signifikan antara variabel status tempat tinggal mahasiswa (p-value = 0,029), uang saku (p-value = 0,003), dan tingkat stres (p-value = 0,032) terhadap kebiasaan meals skipping. Setelah mengetahui hasil penelitian, mahasiswa diharapkan dapat lebih memperhatikan waktu makan utamanya, menyimpan dan menyiapkan bahan makanan agar mudah disajikan, mengatur pengeluaran dengan lebih baik, dan melakukan konseling apabila merasa stres.

Various nutritional problems experienced by college students can be caused by lifestyle changes, especially in eating patterns. It is common for students to skip meals, which can subsequently affect their health and performance, both academically and non-academically. This study aims to identify factors related to meals skipping habits among students of the Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Indonesia, batch 2021-2024. A cross-sectional method was used involving 152 respondents. Data collection was conducted in May through online questionnaires. The majority of respondents have meals skipping habit (78,3%). Bivariate analysis showed significant associations between meals skipping habits and variables such as student living arrangement (p-value = 0.029), pocket money (p-value = 0.003), and stress level (p-value = 0.032). Based on these findings, students are expected to pay more attention to their meals, make meal prep for easy serving, manage their expenses better, and seek counseling if they experience stress.

Kerawanan pangan terjadi ketika ketersediaan makanan yang bergizi dan aman atau kemampuan untuk memperoleh makanan menjadi terbatas atau tidak pasti karena keterbatasan ekonomi, sosial, atau fisik. Akibatnya terjadi kelaparan dan kekurangan gizi pada tingkat komunitas, rumah tangga, dan individu. Beberapa studi menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa yang melanjutkan pendidikan ke jenjang universitas sering menghadapi masalah kerawanan pangan. Masalah finansial merupakan faktor utama terjadinya kerawanan pangan di kalangan mahasiswa. Mahasiswa Fakultas Hukum Universitas Indonesia memiliki tingkat literasi gizi paling rendah di antara fakultas lainnya sehingga lebih rentan terdampak kerawanan pangan. Penelitian mengukur perbedaan status kerawanan pangan berdasarkan tempat tinggal dan faktor-faktor yang berhubungan seperti alokasi biaya makan, sumber ketersediaan pangan, akses pangan, pendapatan pribadi, tahun kuliah, dan jenis kelamin. Penelitian dilakukan menggunakan kuesioner g-form pada bulan April – Mei 2025. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah desain studi potong lintang dan digunakan metode accidental sampling untuk memperoleh 166 responden. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan status kerawanan pangan yang signifikan berdasarkan tempat tinggal pada mahasiswa (p-value=0,001). Mahasiswa indekos (25,9%) mengalami kejadian rawan pangan lebih banyak dibandingkan dengan mahasiswa yang tinggal di rumah orang tua (11,4%). Hal ini didukung oleh perbandingan faktor-faktor yang berhubungan secara signifikan berdasarkan tempat tinggal. Hasil Mann Whitney menunjukkan adanya perbedaan signifikan pada alokasi biaya makan (p-value=0,003), pendapatan pribadi (p-value=0,001, dan akses pangan (p-value=0,001). 

Food insecurity occurs when the availability of nutritious and safe food or the ability to acquire food becomes limited or uncertain due to economic, social, or physical constraints. As a result, hunger and malnutrition arise at the community, household, and individual levels. Several studies indicate that students pursuing university education often face food insecurity issues, with financial constraints being the primary contributing factor. Among the faculties at the University of Indonesia, Law Faculty students exhibit the lowest nutritional literacy levels, making them more vulnerable to food insecurity. This study examines differences in food insecurity status based on residence and related factors, including meal budget allocation, food sources, food access, personal income, academic year, and gender. The research was using a Google Forms questionnaire from April to May 2025. A cross-sectional study design was employed, with accidental sampling yielding 166 respondents. The findings reveal a significant difference in food insecurity status based on residence (p-value = 0.001). Boarding students (25.9%) experienced higher food insecurity compared to those living with their parents (11.4%). This disparity is further supported by significant differences in related factors based on residence. The Mann-Whitney test indicates notable variations in meal budget allocation (p-value = 0.003), personal income (p-value = 0.001), and food access (p-value = 0.001).
