Abstract

In recent decades, the prevalence of overweight has quadrupled. Adopting unhealthy eating habits and consuming sugar-rich foods raise the prevalence of obesity. Dietary behavior modifications are crucial for managing the excess weight. A theory is known as the Health Belief Model is employed to determine an individual’s willingness to modify their behavior. The aim of this research is to examine the relationship between the HBM construct and the consumption of carbohydrates in overweight adolescents. This research has a cross-sectional design. Purposive sampling was used to choose 110 overweight adolescents from four Malang high schools for the sample. In July 2023, the research was carried out. Six HBM constructs are represented by fifty-nine sentences: perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived barriers, perceived benefits, cues to action, and self-efficacy. Every remark was scored on a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5. A two-time repetition 24-h recall is used to measure carbohydrate intake. Analysis was conducted using SPSS 27. The bivariate test uses the Spearman and Pearson tests. Multiple linear regression testing is used in multivariate analysis. According to the results of a Pearson correlation test, consumption of carbohydrates is strongly correlated with both perceived susceptibility and reported benefit (p = 0.007; r = -0.232 and (p = 0.023; r = -0.192, respectively). Adolescents who consider themselves more susceptible and beneficial consume less carbohydrates overall. Adolescents’ carbohydrate consumption is influenced by the HBM construct by 13%. It is necessary to provide nutrition education with HBM to give adolescents more self-assurance in managing their overweight, particularly with regard to their eating habits.
