This study examines the relationship between current eating habits and the risk of obesity among University of Sharjah students. It involved a cross-sectional analysis of 137 students. Results revealed that 12.4% of students were classified as obese, 20.16% were overweight, and 13.18% were underweight. Additionally, 9.85% of students reported consuming fast food regularly (at least five times a week), and these individuals were found to have a significantly higher prevalence of obesity. The findings underscore the importance of implementing intervention programs aimed at reducing fast food consumption to alleviate the burden of obesity and overweight among students.
