Abstract

Introduction:  Caffeine is a stimulant compound found in coffee, tea, cocoa, and kola, soft drink, and certain medicines. Objectives: the objectives of the present study were to examine the relation between caffeine intake from Arabic coffee, other dietary sources and body mass index (BMI) of female students in Jazan University. Design: A cross sectional study was employed. The study included 158 male and female student (18-25 years old) that were chosen conveniently from Jazan University campus. METHODS: A demographic questionnaire and food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) were distributed among the studied sample. The researchers took anthropometric measurements. All data were entered and analyzed through SPSS program version 22. The samples were classified according to caffeine intake as group 1: no intake (0 mg/d), group 2: low intake (<300 mg/d), and group 3: high intake (≥300 mg/d). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The mean BMI among subjects was (21.2 & 22.02) kg/m2 in males and females respectively, mean age of 22.72 years. The mean caffeine consumption was (132.93 & 59.96) mg/d among males and females, respectively. About 21.2% of the samples showed high caffeine consumption (N=82). The study showed that high caffeine consumption has significant effect on anthropometric measurements (p<0.05).
