Conclusion
In general, most of the students in this study had healthy
eating habits except in frequency of meals, fruit consumption,
water intake and consumption of fried food.
Social and psychological factors were important determinants
of eating habits among medical students. Nutritional
education among medical students should be
encouraged to promote healthier eating habits and lifestyles,
as well as adherence to the healthier traditional
food. It is recommended that the scope of future
research should be broadened to include a larger representative
sample size of medical students by including
students from different medical colleages from all
Malaysia.
