Correlation Between Sitting Duration, Consumption Patterns and Daily PhysicalActivity with Nutritional Status Among Coffee Shop Customers at Nuansa by Lawa

Abstract

Changes in modern society’s lifestyle have increased sedentary activities, such as sitting for long periods in coffee shops, and have also influenced dietary patterns and physical activity, which in turn affect nutritional status. The research problem in this study is whether there is an association between sitting duration, dietary patterns, and daily physical activity with the nutritional status of coffee shop customers. This study aims to determine the association between sitting duration, dietary patterns, and daily physical activity with the nutritional status of customers at Nuansa by Lawa Coffee Shop in Gorontalo City. This research is a quantitative analytic study using a cross-sectional approach. The population consists of coffee shop customers aged 18–25 years, with a total sample of 188 respondents obtained through accidental sampling techniques. Data were collected using the FFQ and GPAQ questionnaires along with Body Mass Index (BMI) measurements. Data analysis was conducted using the ChiSquare test. The statistical analysis revealed that sitting duration obtained (p = 0.022 < 0.05), dietary patterns obtained (p = 0.000 < 0.05), and physical activity obtained (p = 0.840 > 0.05). Based on these findings, sitting duration and dietary patterns were significantly associated with nutritional status, while physical activity was not significantly associated. It is expected that these findings can help raise public awareness, especially among coffee shop customers, to maintain dietary patterns and regulate sitting time to prevent nutritional status disorder
