Psychological distress and eating behavior among young adults in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic
Literature has consistently reported that stringent COVID-19 lockdown measures have had profound adverse effects on mental health and have also led to changes in the dietary behavior of young adults. Therefore, this study investigates the relationship between psychological distress and the eating behavior of Malaysian young adults in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Young adults aged 18–30 were recruited into this study using a combination…
Physical activity and dietary behavior in relation to perceived stress levels among young adults during the transition to endemic phase of Covid-19
Moderate-to-severe food insecurity is positively correlated with the risk of eating disorders in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic
Physical properties and proximate composition of Thompson red avocado fruit
Purpose Thompson red avocado is a bright red-coloured fruit when ripe. As the global market for avocado fruit is increasing, this unique avocado variety could potentially be the savory fruit for consumers. The study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical properties of different parts of Thomson red avocado fruit. Design/methodology/approach Physical parameters were measured using a calibrated digital balance and a vernier caliper. The methods of t…
Psychological distress and its correlation with weight change in young adults in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic
This study aims to investigate the correlation between psychological distress and weight change in Malaysian young adults after the pandemic-led lockdowns. Socio-demographics, body height, body weight during the Movement Control Order 3.0 (MCO 3.0), and post-lockdown body weight (as of January 2022) were self-reported by the young adults. Psychological distress was assessed using a validated 21-item Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21)…
Poor self-regulation in eating behaviour during the Covid-19 lockdown contributes to weight gain among young adults in Malaysia
This cross-sectional study aims to investigate physical activity, self-regulation in eating behaviour, and their associations with body weight trajectory during the COVID-19 nationwide lockdown (Movement Control Order, MCO) in Malaysia. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) was used to assess physical activity and sitting time during the MCO. Self-regulation in eating behaviour was evaluated with the Self-Regulati…
Physical Activity, Sedentary Behavior, and Weight Status of University Students during the Covid-19 Lockdown
The temporary closure of learning institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically reduced the physical activity of students across all ages. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of physical inactivity and the patterns of physical activity among university students in confinement. This cross-sectional study involved 147 Malaysian students and 107 Indonesian students. Body weight before the pandemic and during the pa…
Eating Behaviors among Online Learning Undergraduates during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The outbreak of Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) has upended education systems. The pandemic switched traditional face-to-face classes to online classes. Poor eating behaviors in undergraduate students' lives may affect the well-being of their later stages of life. This study aimed to investigate the eating behaviors among online learning undergraduates during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 122 students were recruited. The results revealed …
Comparison of total phenolic content and antioxidant activities in selected coloured plants
Purpose Literature has consistently reported that coloured plants are rich in dietary bioactive compounds. Therefore, this study aims to compare the total phenolic content and antioxidant activities in selected coloured plants (blue butterfly pea flower, roselle calyx, yellow bell pepper and purple sweet potato). Design/methodology/approach Total Phenolic Content (TPC) was determined using Folin–Ciocalteu assay, while antioxidant activities were …
Gender and body weight status differences in the consumption frequency, choice and sugar intake of ready-to-drink sugar-sweetened beverages
Purpose Frequent consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) not only contribute to the incidence of dental caries but also a substantial risk for metabolic syndrome, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases and arthritis. Therefore, this study aims to compare the ready-to-drink SSB (RTD-SSB) consumption frequency, choice and sugar intake across gender and body weight status. Design/methodology/approach This cross-sectional s…
Antioxidant, hypoglycemic and anti-hypertensive properties of extracts derived from peel, fruit and kernel of Salak
Purpose Salak ( Salacca zalacca ) is an underutilised fruit. The bioactivities of this fruit have rarely been studied scientifically. Thus, the present study aimed to determine the antioxidant activity of extracts derived from the peel, fruit and kernel of the Salak fruit, as well as the hypoglycemic and anti-hypertensive properties of Salak peel extracts. Design/methodology/approach The peel, fruit and kernel of the Salak were extracted using di…
