“…It is stated that there is a relationship between dietary preferences and exposure to unhealthy food and beverage marketing. One study found that the degree of exposure to marketing fast food and sugary drinks varies according to socio-demographic factors, ethnicity and education (Vanderlee et al , 2021). A study conducted by Otterbach et al (2021) found that each additional kilometer between supermarket or fast-food shops to the house where the individuals live, the BMI was reduced by 0.014 kg\m 2 and the likelihood of obesity reduced significantly (Otterbach et al , 2021).…”

Purpose University students are one of the vulnerable groups in terms of having nutritional problems due to their lifestyle and social environment. This study aims to determine the consumption of fast food among university students and evaluate factors that may impact it, such as sociodemographic factors, body mass index (BMI) or nutritional habits. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional study was conducted among a random sample of 184 university students (47.8% men and 52.2% women) with a mean age of 21.1 ± 2.0 years. The survey included students’ sociodemographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, nutritional habits and fast-food consumption. Chi-square test, t-test and binary logistic regression analysis were used depending on the characteristics of the data. Findings Results indicated that 39.7% of the students consumed fast food at least once in 15 days and preferred these foods for taste, workload and social activity. Consumption of fast food occurred at an earlier age in men (%13.6) and the portions were higher than portions of vegetables (p = 0.001). By using regression analysis, a statistically significant relationship was found between the frequency of fast-food consumption and age, gender, economic status, BMI, the amount of vegetables consumed daily and the habit of eating breakfast (p < 0.05). Research limitations/implications It is planned to reach more students in the study. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, transportation to students became difficult or could not be reached. Originality/value This study is one of the rare studies examining students’ orientation to fast food. The number of studies in this field in Turkey is limited.

“…Studies about the food marketing and advertising campaigns and their effects worldwide have shown differences. For example, Vanderlee et al (2021) from the International Food Policy Study, reported differences between food marketing via television and digital media in five countries (Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and Mexico). These differences can naturally have some influence in the food choices of the citizens from different countries.…”

Food behaviour is governed by different kinds of motivations, some of individual nature and others related with the external food environment. This study investigated the eating motivations in sixteen countries with respect to commercial and marketing influences on food choices. The questionnaire survey was developed between September 2017 and June 2018, via online tools, targeting a convenience sample of residents in sixteen countries (Argentina,

“…Food marketers use several techniques to make marketing more appealing and influential to youth, such as the use of cartoon characters, free toys/products and celebrity endorsements 10,12‐14 . Concerningly, international literature has revealed that unhealthy food products (those identified as a cause of poor diet and excess weight in youth) dominate the child‐oriented food marketing environment 8,15‐18 …”

Background: Many countries, including Canada, are considering regulations to restrict food and beverage marketing to children. However, little evidence is available outside of the US on how marketing exposure differs across sociodemographic subgroups.Objective: To investigate potential associations between child and adolescent sociodemographic characteristics and exposure to food and beverage marketing in Canada.Methods: Participants (n = 3780) aged 10-17 self-reported exposure to food and beverage marketing across food categories, locations and marketing techniques.Logistic regression models tested relationships between sociodemographics (age, sex, ethnicity and income adequacy) and marketing exposure.Results: Among other differences identified, 13-17 years old were more likely than 10-12 years old to report seeing unhealthy food marketing online. Girls were more likely than boys to see such marketing online and in retail settings, while boys were more likely to see it in video games. Minority ethnicities (including Indigenous youth) and respondents with lower income adequacy generally reported more exposure than White and higher income respondents, respectively.Conclusions: This study highlights important differences in marketing exposure among youth of different sociodemographic groups in Canada, including greater exposure to marketing among those most disadvantaged and emphasizes the essential need to consider food marketing across equity groups when developing restrictions on marketing to kids.
