Abstract
Relationship between Diet Habits and Adiposity Measures among Medical and Para- Medical Students
Behaviour patterns acquired at college generally persist in adult life. Global rise in obesity epidemic are attributed to socioeconomic and cultural factors. The relationship between dietary factors and obesity development is complex and poorly investigated. Data on dietary habits among Saudis are limited. Thus we aimed to assess the relationship between dietary habits and adiposity measures in college students.
