Dietary Pattern of Schoolgoing Adolescents in Urban Baroda, India
Diet plays a very important role in growth and development of
adolescents, during which the development of healthy eating habits is
of supreme importance. There is a dual burden of undernutrition and
overnutrition in this age-group. The study assessed the food habits,
food preferences, and dietary pattern of schoolgoing urban adolescents
in Baroda, India. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used
in this study. A quantitative survey was carried out using a pre-tested
self-administered structured questionnaire among 1,440 students from
class 6 to 12 in 7 English medium and 23 Gujarati medium schools. Focus
group discussions, 5 each with adolescent boys and girls, were held,
along with 5 focus group discussions with teachers of Gujarati and
English medium schools. Nearly 80% of adolescents had consumed regular
food, like dal, rice, chapati, and vegetables, including green leafy
vegetables. Nearly 50% of them had consumed chocolates, and about
one-third consumed fast foods. Nearly 60% of adolescents had their
breakfast daily while the remaining missed taking breakfast daily.
Nearly one-third of adolescents were missing a meal once or twice a
week. A large majority had consumed regular foods. However, more than
half of them had consumed chocolates, soft drinks, and over one-third
had taken fast foods
