Factors Related to the Consumption of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages (SSBs) Among High School Students at SMA Negeri 68 Jakarta in 2024

Indonesia ranked third in Southeast Asia for Sugar-Sweetened Beverages (SSBs) consumption in 2022, with a consumption rate of 20.23 liters/person/year. According to Riskesdas in 2018, 61.3% of the Indonesian population consumed more than once a day and 47.5% in 2023. This study aims to understand the patterns and levels of SSB consumption among various factors in students of SMA Negeri 68 Jakarta in 2024. This cross-sectional study was conducted from April to May 2024 with 134 respondents using questionnaires and interviews for 24-hour food recall and SQ-FFQ. Univariate analysis showed that 12.69% of respondents had high SSB consumption. Bivariate analysis indicated a significant relationship between the availability of SSBs at home (p-value = <0.001; OR = 20.000) and peer influence (p-value = 0.018; OR = 4.588) with SSB consumption. After knowing the research results, it is hoped that students can realize the importance of limiting SSB consumption and spread awareness to their immediate environment, while families are advised to limit the availability of SSBs at home by reading nutritional labels before purchasing, understanding the impacts of sugary drinks, and learning the latest facts about sugary drinks.
