"Hand-shaken sugar-sweetened beverage (HSSB) in Taiwan is customized drink which is unique over the world. Excessive HSSB intake could lead to health burden. The health behavior of college students may be affected by perceived health status (PHS). Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the influencing factors of HSSB intake behavior of college students by investigating their HSSB intake and PHS profiles. We recruited 401 students from C technological university in Taipei by using stratified sampling and a questionnaire with good reliability and validity. Finally, 392 valid, self-administered questionnaires were received. The inferential statistics were analyzed by chi-square test, independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, and multinomial logistic regression. The results showed that subjects who drank HSSB at least once per week was 54.6%. Subjects who usually selected half-sugar and light-sugar HSSB were 47.2% and 25.8%, respectively. 53.8% subjects habitually took ice-cold beverage and only 10.5% took warm one. The mean score for PHS of the subjects was 3.42, higher than the midpoint, with the highest score for social participation and the lowest score for physical condition. In addition, the subjects, who were male, were studying in information academy, were living by surrounding over 3 beverage shops, were scoring low in physical condition and high in mental status of PHS, had higher intake frequency of HSSB. The subjects, who were male, were studying in design or management academy, and were scoring higher in social participation of PHS, preferred to ice-cold beverage. Accordingly, high frequency of HSSB intake among college students are still found in this study, even though most of the students know to select half-sugar or light-sugar HSSB. We suggest to plan the health education program preferentially for the students, who have higher intake frequency of HSSB, to develop their ability to calculate sugar intake and to choose beverage wisely." |
