Hubungan Pengetahuan Gizi, Aktivitas Fisik, dan Kebiasaan Makan Mahasiswa Selama Pandemi COVID-19

Abstract

Kondisi pandemi Covid-19 memengaruhi kebiasaan makan dan aktivitas fisik yang dapat beresiko obesitas, sehingga diperlukan pengetahuan gizi dan gaya hidup yang sehat. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan pengetahuan gizi, aktivitas fisik dan kebiasaan makan mahasiswa selama pandemi Covid-19. Desain penelitian ini adalah cross sectional melibatkan 83 mahasiswa yang berdomisili di Jabodetabek. Data pengetahuan gizi dan aktivitas fisik dikumpulkan dengan self-administered menggunakan google form, sedangkan data kebiasaan makan melalui wawancara online. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pengetahuan gizi 83,1% subjek tergolong baik. Tingkat aktivitas fisik hampir separuh subjek (43,4%) tergolong berat dan rata-rata waktu duduk subjek 6,8 jam/hari. Kebiasaan makan mahasiswa belum sesuai anjuran pedoman gizi seimbang. Tingkat kecukupan energi dan karbohidrat subjek tergolong defisit berat, tetapi tingkat kecukupan protein dan lemak tergolong normal. Hampir 2/3 subjek memiliki tingkat kecukupan zat gizi mikro tergolong kurang. Terdapat hubungan positif (<0,05) antara pendidikan ibu dengan tingkat kecukupan lemak dan vitamin E, serta konsumsi daging sapi, kangkung, selada, mangga, dan sosis. Pendapatan orang tua berhubungan positif dengan konsumsi roti gandum, kurma, dan tahu (p<0,05). Tidak terdapat hubungan (p>0,05) antara pengetahuan gizi dengan tingkat kecukupan gizi, namun berhubungan positif dengan konsumsi ubi, buncis, salak, dan sosis (p<0,05). Tidak terdapat hubungan antara aktivitas fisik dengan kebiasaan makan (p>0,05).

Parental income was positively related to intake of frequence of some food (p<0,05).
