Abstract

High consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) plays a significant role in the rising burden of obesity and noncommunicable diseases, especially in young adult populations. Hence, this study aimed to assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to sugar- sweetened beverages (SSBs), describe dietary sugar intake patterns, and examine their associations with gender and body mass index (BMI) among young adults.
