- Abstract
Sub-optimal diet containing high energy density could be a predisposing factor for obesity in school children. This literature review aimed to examine the relationship between fast-food consumption and obesity in elementary children. Google Scholar and PubMed databases were used for study selection by keywords: fast-food, obesity, and school children. The inclusion criteria applied were full-text articles written in Indonesian or English and published in journals indexed by Sinta or Scopus for the period of 2011–2021. There were 6 studies included in this review. The type of fast food consumed often by the students were biscuits, chocolate, ice cream, cakes, fried chicken, french fries, pizza, hamburgers, sandwiches, and hot dogs. The proportion of obese school children who consumed fast food ranged from 9.7% to 69.4%. A positive relationship between fast food consumption habits and obesity has been reported in all the studies (p-values varied < 0.05).
