Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the correlation between the consumption of milk tea and takeaway on overweight and obesity of college students, so as to provide a scientific basis for effective prevention and control of overweight and obesity among college students.
Methods:A questionnaire survey and physical test were conducted among 14 379 college students from 7 universities in Shanghai, Jiangxi, Hubei and Shanxi provinces from October to November 2023 by the convenient sampling method. The self designed questionnaires on milk tea consumption and takeaway consumption were used to investigate the consumption of milk tea and takeaway among college students. The χ 2 test was used to compare the distribution difference of the detection rate of overweight and obesity among college students in different groups and different consumption frequency of milk tea and takeaway. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the consumption of milk tea takeaway and overweight and obesity.
Results:The prevalence of overweight and obesity among college students was 24.29%. The prevalence of overweight and obesity among college students was statistically significant among gender, grade, single child or not and family economic status ( χ 2= 308.72 ,38.83,15.49,16.82, P <0.01). In addition, there were statistically significant differences in the prevalence of overweight and obesity with different takeaway consumption frequency and milk tea consumption frequency among college students ( χ 2=21.32,46.32, P <0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression model showed that different consumption frequency of milk tea (1-3, 4-5, ≤6 times for every week) were positively correlated with overweight and obesity( OR =1.62,1.75,2.39), and eating takeaway every day was also positively correlated with overweight and obesity ( OR =1.32)( P ＜0.01). Interaction analysis showed that frequent joint consumption of milk tea and takeaway was positively correlated with overweight and obesity of college students ( OR =3.00, P ＜0.01).
Conclusions:The consumptions of milk tea and takeaway are associated with overweight and obesity among college students. Colleges and relevant departments should take effective measures to intervene in overweight and obesity among college students.
