Background: The Study from Home implementation due to the Covid-19 pandemic has triggered lifestyle changes, especially in physical activities and consumption frequency. The increased use of gadgets triggers changes in sleep quality, resulting in excessive daytime sleepiness. Changes in unhealthy and inadequate food consumption can impact insufficient nutritional needs.Purpose: Knowing the relationship between physical activity and Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS) with consumption frequency in nutrition students of Universitas Airlangga during the Covid-19 pandemic.Method: The research was an analytical observational study with cross-sectional design. The research sample was 145 nutrition students who met the inclusion criteria and were obtained through simple random sampling. Data collection instruments used the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, and Food Frequency Questionnaire. Data analysis used the Spearman correlation test.Results: The majority of respondents are 20 years old (46.9%), female (93.1%), light physical activity (57.9%), normal sleepiness level (60.0%), often consume staple-foods (73.8%), side-dishes (83.4%), vegetables (64.1%), and rarely consume fruit (57.9%), energy-dense foods (67.6%). There is no relationship between physical activity (p>0.05) and EDS (p>0.05) with consumption frequency.Conclusion: There is no relationship between physical activity and EDS with consumption frequency in nutrition students during the Covid-19 pandemic.Suggestion: It is necessary to increase physical activity, improve sleep quality, and consumption frequency according to balanced nutrition guidelines during the Covid-19 pandemic.Keywords: College Student; Covid-19 Pandemic; Excessive Daytime Sleepiness; Meal Frequency; Physical ActivityPendahuluan: Penerapan Study from Home akibat pandemi Covid-19 memicu perubahan gaya hidup, terutama aktivitas fisik dan frekuensi konsumsi. Peningkatan penggunaan gadget memicu perubahan kualitas tidur yang mengarahkan pada kantuk berlebihan di siang hari. Perubahan konsumsi makan tidak sehat dan tidak adekuat akan berdampak pada ketidakcukupan kebutuhan gizi. Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan antara aktivitas fisik dan Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS) dengan frekuensi makan mahasiswa gizi Universitas Airlangga selama pandemi Covid-19.Metode: Jenis penelitian observasional analitik dengan desain cross sectional. Sampel penelitian sebesar 145 mahasiswa yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan diperoleh secara simple random sampling. Instrumen pengumpulan data menggunakan International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, dan Food Frequency Questionnaire. Analisis data menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman.Hasil: Mayoritas responden berusia 20 tahun (46,9%), perempuan (93,1%), aktivitas fisik ringan (57,9%), tingkat kekantukan normal (60,0%), sering mengonsumsi makanan pokok (73,8%), lauk-pauk (83,4%), sayuran (64,1%), serta jarang mengonsumsi buah (57,9%), makanan padat energi (67,6%). Tidak terdapat hubungan antara aktivitas fisik (p>0,05) dan EDS (p>0,05) dengan frekuensi konsumsi.Simpulan: Tidak terdapat hubungan antara aktivitas fisik dan EDS dengan frekuensi konsumsi mahasiswa gizi selama pandemi Covid-19.Saran: Diperlukan peningkatan aktivitas fisik, perbaikan kualitas tidur, dan frekuensi konsumsi sesuai pedoman gizi seimbang selama pandemi Covid-19.

Context The COVID-19 pandemic has had a global impact on food security and nutrition, both in the short and long term. The influence on school-age children, adolescents, and young adults may be particularly significant and long-lasting. Objective This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to quantify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on dietary habits among school-age children, adolescents, and young adults worldwide. Data Sources PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase were searched from inception to October 5, 2023. Data Extraction We included observational studies published in English that reported dietary quality scores and dietary intake quantities during and before the COVID-19 pandemic among school-age children, adolescents, and young adults. We included a total of 22 cohort studies and 20 cross-sectional studies of high or moderate quality. Data Analysis We conducted a meta-analysis, expressing dietary quality scores and dietary intake quantities as standardized mean differences (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). For studies with low heterogeneity, we used a fixed-effects model; otherwise, we applied a random-effects model. The Newcastle–Ottawa Scale was employed by 2 reviewers independently to evaluate methodological quality. The analysis indicated that, overall, juice intake increased (SMD = 0.12, 95% CI: 0.04 to 0.20), while alcohol consumption reduced during the COVID-19 pandemic (SMD = −0.28, 95% CI: −0.47 to −0.08). However, the age-stratified results varied. Among school-age children, intake of fruit, dairy products, sugar, and juice increased. Adolescents showed an increase in meal frequency and vegetable intake. Young adults showed reduced carbohydrate and alcohol intakes, while protein and dairy product intakes increased, based on limited included studies. Conclusion Dietary changes in school-age children from before to during the pandemic were mixed, while dietary behavior changes in adolescents and young adults tended to be more positive. Considering the lasting effects of negative dietary behaviors, attention should be given to addressing the increased sugar and juice intakes. It is also crucial that caregivers and researchers monitor whether positive dietary behaviors will rebound after returning to normal study and life.

Purpose Reusable takeaway food containers (RTFCs) are a newly emerging green packaging choice for the takeaway industry that can effectively reduce campus solid waste but are not yet well accepted. Therefore, this study aims to identify the key factors influencing university students’ intention to choose RTFCs, seeking to enhance RTFC project management practices and contribute to developing a sustainable “green university.” Design/methodology/approach In total, 316 valid respondents from a Chinese university were surveyed for data collection. A multivariate ordered logistic regression model was used to conduct empirical analysis. Findings The results of this study underscore the crucial role of perceived value in the relationship between perceived green attributes and students’ intention to choose RTFCs. The positive impacts of perceived green attributes on intention are direct and indirect, through the lens of perceived value. When the value is substantial, it significantly boosts the student’s intention to choose RTFCs. Conversely, the perception of lower hygienic quality or higher returning time cost dampens this intention, with a more pronounced effect than perceived green attributes. Notably, perceived publicity activities have the most significant impact on student’s intention to choose RTFCs. Originality/value This study contributes to the understanding of promoting RTFCs, a key strategy for reducing plastic waste on campuses. The findings provide actionable recommendations for the project company and the university, offering practical ways to encourage students to use RTFCs and contribute to plastic waste reduction.
