The correlation between perceived stress levels and sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption among undergraduates’ students in USMKK

The consumption of high-calorie, processed foods and unhealthy eating habits was associated with stress, including perceived stress. This study aimed to determine the correlation between perceived stress levels and sugar-sweetened beverages among undergraduate students at University Sains Malaysia (...

This study aimed to determine the correlation between perceived stress levels and sugar-sweetened beverages among undergraduate students at University Sains Malaysia (USM) Health Campus. Two hundred fifty-three undergraduates were chosen using random sampling method. A set of self-administered questionnaires which consisted of socio-demographic data, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), sources of food and drink, consumption patterns of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB), and Beverage Intake Questionnaire (BEVQ-15) were used in this study. The study revealed that 56.7% of respondents from health-related field such as Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences had low SSB consumption which referred as less than 250mL per day.
