Abstract

Poor eating habits among students are a contemporary problem faced by a huge chunk of population like students at schools, colleges, and universities. Students have unhealthy habits of eating junk food and skipping meals at regular intervals which in turn put negative effects on their health. Several studies are being conducted to assess the eating pattern among students at various stages. This study was conducted at a medical university to determine the attitude of medical students towards their eating habits. A total of 246 students responded to the questionnaire to Uind out their attitudes. This study was conducted in September 2018 and it was shown that the majority of students were having healthy eating habits and were taking meals regularly and also using fruits and vegetables, though some of the students were eating junk food also.
