Impact of Dietary Intake on Female Quality of Life and Reproductive Health

Abstract

Assessing the diet pattern of young females particularly among university female students is an important insight into their lifestyle choices which has an impact on health. They often chose convenience of food compared to nutritional value due to different life schedules, environment and surroundings. This could lead to overconsumption of unhealthy foods. The objectives of this study were to ascertain the dietary pattern of female students by examining the correlation between the diet pattern with quality of life and reproductive health by using several validated questionnaires.
