IS THERE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDES, AND EATING BEHAVIOR AMONG ADOLESCENTS IN EDUCATION?

This research aims to see how adolescents' knowledge and attitudes about balanced nutrition are related to their eating behavior. Adolescents are the age group most vulnerable to changes in unhealthy eating habits, which can have a major impact on important aspects of their health. This research involved 160 junior high school students aged 12 to 17 years. Guidelines for knowledge of balanced nutrition (PUGS) as well as eating attitudes and behaviors are the topics of the Nutritional Literacy Survey. Based on the investigation, it is known that 66.9% are in the middle adolescence group (aged 14–17 years). Most respondents had moderate nutritional knowledge with a percentage of 69.4%, a negative attitude percentage of 55.6%, and eating behavior was also in the moderate category at 65.6%. The results of research using bivariate analysis show that the relationship between knowledge and adolescent eating behavior has a p-value of 0.114 (p > 0.05) and the relationship between attitude and adolescent eating behavior has a p-value of 0.108 (p > 0.05), so it can be concluded that there is no relationship between knowledge and attitudes towards the balanced nutritional eating behavior of adolescents.

(1) Background: The double burden of malnutrition (DBM) is an emerging public health concern among children and adolescents in developing countries. This study investigated the prevalence and factors associated with being underweight and overweight among adolescents. (2) Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 423 adolescents across 10 high schools in Harare. A questionnaire was used to collect data and weight for height-z-scores were used to compute body mass index. Pearson’s Chi-Square and multinomial logistic regression were used to test for associations and explore factors associated with being underweight or overweight at (p < 0.05). (3) Results: The median and IQR range for the participants was 16 (14–19) years. There were more girls 53.2%, than boys 46.8% (p = 0.002), and more 14–16-year-olds 54.1%, than 17–19-year-olds (p = 0.070). More boys 10% than girls 9.1% were underweight, whereas more girls 21.8% than boys 9.3% were overweight and obese (p = 0.002). By age, more 14–16-year -olds were underweight 12.7% than 17–19-year-olds 5.9%, whereas more 17–19-year-olds 16.2% were overweight than 14–16-year-olds (p = 0.070). Significant factors associated with being underweight were inadequate balanced nutrition knowledge [OR = 1.49 (0.139–0.997), p = 0.049], being in the 14–16 years age group [OR = 2.56 (1.137–5.779), p = 0.023], having formally employed [OR = 2.34 (1.008–5.428), p = 0.048] and unemployed [OR = 5.17 (1.263–21.116), p = 0.022] household heads. Significant factors associated with overweight were being a girl [OR = 0.32 (0.168–2.561), p < 0.001, and having formally employed household heads [OR = 2.00 (1.044–1.206), p = 0.037]. The employment status of the household head (being formally employed) was the only factor which associated with both underweight and overweight statuses. (4) Conclusions: Although underweight and overweight statuses co-exist, among adolescents, those who are overweight appear to be more than those who are underweight. Significant factors associated with being underweight were inadequate nutrition knowledge, being 14–16 years old, and having formally employed or unemployed parents. While being a girl and having formally employed parents were significant determinants of the overweight status. This paper calls for more awareness of DBM and context-specific interventions targeting obesity in a country where undernutrition has been traditionally prioritized at policy and program levels.
