| dc.description.abstract | This study focuses on undergraduate students at Universiti Sains Malaysia's Kubang Kerian Campus in Kelantan's knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) about healthy weight control. 169 students in all, representing a range of demographic backgrounds, took part. A validated questionnaire measuring attitudes toward healthy eating, knowledge of nutrition, and compliance with suggested dietary behaviors was used to gather data. According to the results, 90.53% of participants knew a lot about nutrition, and 93.49% had favorable opinions about eating healthily. None of the subjects received a "good" practice score in spite of these favorable results, indicating a significant discrepancy between awareness and actual action. While gender, academic major, and year of study did not substantially correlate with KAP levels, statistical analysis revealed a significant correlation between ethnicity and KAP levels (p = 0.031). Furthermore, there was a slight, non-significant positive correlation (r = 0.089, p = 0.25) between BMI and KAP, and there was no significant relationship between BMI status and KAP levels (p = 0.086). These findings highlight the significance of implementing focused interventions to close the knowledge-practice gap, especially those that take cultural influences on eating habits into account. 8 | |
