Abstract


Overweight is a gateway to non-communicable diseases. The aims of this study are to determine the risk of overweight based on the frequency of junk food consumption among students at Dwijendra Junior High School Denpasar. This study is observational with cross-sectional design and was conducted at Dwijendra Junior High School Denpasar with sample 70 students. Data collected included knowledge, types and frequency of fast food consumption, as well as measurements of weight and height. The results indicate that the frequency of fast food consumption is one of the factors contributing to overweight, showing a significant risk only in the sample where the selection of fast food types was not diverse (95% CI : 1,03 – 17,76). This selection of fast food types is related to students’ knowledge about fast food. It was found that the risk of fast food frequency was also not significant in the sample with high knowledge (95% CI : 0,25 – 24,46) and only showed a significant risk in the sample with low knowledge (95% CI : 1,00 – 19,86). It was concluded that the frequency of fast food consumption has the potential to increase the risk of overweight, especially if the types of fast food consumption are not various. Therefore, education about the health effects of fast food consumption among students needs to be promoted more, and if necessary, this subject matter should be presented as one of the teaching materials in schools.
