Ergenlerde görülen beslenme alışkanlıkları ve uygulamaları veya yeme alışkanlıkları onların sağlığı üzerinde olumsuz sonuçlar doğurabilmektedir. Alkolsüz içecekler, tatlı içecekler, fast food tüketiminin aşırı düzeylere varması alımı, meyve, sebze, tam tahıllı gıdalar, süt ürünleri ve diğer kalsiyum katkılı gıdaların yetersiz alımı; düşük düzeylerde egzersiz yapımı ile artan obezite oranları ile ortaya çıkan olumsuz sağlık sonuçları; bu yaş grubunun beslenme ve yaşam tarzı özelliklerini yeniden gözden geçirmelerinin bir ihtiyaç olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu çalışma Mısır, Suudi Arabistan ve Türkiye arasında karşılaştırmalı bir araştırma olarak farklı kültürlerde ağırlık fazlalığı ya da eksikliğinde (BMI) üniversite öğrencilerinin beslenme alışkanlıklarının etkisini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu araştırma 450 öğrencinin (her bölgeden 150) beslenme alışkanlıklarını ortaya çıkaracak bir anket formu kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. BMI (ağırlık / boy2 kg / m 2) ölçülmüş (tüm ölçümler çalışma bölgelerinde de aynı koşullar altında alınmıştır) ve göreceli ağırlık endeksi olarak kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar Suudi Arabistanlı öğrencilerin yaklaşık yarısının (% 43.33) kilolu, Türkiye’deki numunelerin çoğunluğunun (% 75.3) normal kilolu olduğunu, Mısır'da ise özellikle kadın katılımcıların 50.67%’sinin kilolu olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Öte yandan sonuçlar; bütün faydalarına rağmen kahvaltının en sık atlanan öğün olması gibi üniversite öğrencileri arasında pek çok sağlıksız beslenme alışkanlıkları olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışma, üniversite öğrencilerinin beslenme alışkanlıklarını değiştirecek, sağlıklı gıda ve diyet çeşitliliğini tanıtacak; eğitim programları önermektedir.
