Overview

Observational analysis reveals knowledge gaps and dietary risks among students, suggesting targeted health education is needed.

Key Points

  • High knowledge of hypertension was reported at 89%, yet misconceptions continue about symptom presentation.
  • Dietary habits showed students frequently consume starchy foods and sugary beverages, increasing hypertension risk.
  • Significant associations were found between dietary practices and perceptions specifically among female students.
  • Interventions must address knowledge gaps and promote better eating habits to reduce hypertension risk among undergraduates.
