A Descriptive test was done to measure the consumption frequency of sweet food and beverages, salty food, high-fat food, and food with monosodium glutamate (MSG). Generalized logistic regression was used to determine socioeconomic factors (residential area, age, gender, education level, marital status, and household wealth) that were associated with a higher frequency of unhealthy food consumption.Results: The majority of respondents reported frequent consumption of sweet food and beverages (82.4%), food that contains high fat (62%), and MSG (75.5%). About 46% of respondents reported frequent consumption of salty food.Conclusion: Education level, sex, age, household wealth status, and residential area are important determinants of a healthy diet.
