The time spent by young people at the university is generally marked by a profound transition in lifestyle and eating habits, which exposes them to several risk factors for diseases that will develop later such as chronic diseases related to diet. The objective of this study was to assess malnutrition and identify the particular risk factors for malnutrition among students at the University of Maroua.\n                    <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Three hundred and thirty students of both sexes, aged between 17 and 35 years old, were recruited from January to February 2018. Anthropometric parameters (weight, height, waist and hip circumference, and BMI) were measured, and an eating and lifestyle questionnaire was administered to each participant, as well as a 24\u2010hour dietary recall.\n                    <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>\n                    . The mean age of participants was 23.95\u2009\u00b1\u20093.67 years and BMI was 22.19\u2009\u00b1\u20092.78\u2009kg\/m\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    . Approximately 6.1% were underweight, 12.1% overweight, and 0.9% obese, and all age groups were affected. Concerning eating habits, low protein, fruit, and vegetable consumption were recorded among students. Cereals were the main source of carbohydrates consumed. Besides, 6% of them had a low dietary intake, 21% had a poorly diversified diet, and 2% were highly food insecure. The students\u2019 daily macronutrient intake was within the recommended reference values, except for carbohydrates, which exceeded and represented 62.69\u00b1\u200913.84% of daily energy intake. Also, only 32.2% of respondents had adequate energy intake. A poorly diversified diet was associated with a high incidence of overweight.\n                    <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Both forms of malnutrition are indeed present among the students of the University of Maroua, and nutritional education for this young segment of the population will be essential to prevent complications associated with malnutrition in the working life.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/1431743","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,8]],"date-time":"2022-08-08T19:05:11Z","timestamp":1659985511000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Malnutrition, Eating Habits, Food Consumption, and Risk Factors of Malnutrition among Students at the University of Maroua, Cameroon"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2022","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4646-8728","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francoise Raissa","family":"Ntentie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7739-2255","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mary-Ann","family":"Angie Mbong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4232-353X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Boris Ronald","family":"Tonou Tchuente","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8801-0267","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christine Fernande","family":"Biyegue Nyangono","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3269-5164","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maxwell","family":"Wandji Nguedjo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5683-1423","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cedric","family":"Bissal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1725-9540","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Palouma","family":"Souavourbe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9156-0385","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Franck","family":"Avom-Me Mbida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4029-945X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julius","family":"Enyong Oben","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0021932011000757"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_2","volume-title":"Malnutrition: quantifying the health impact at national and local levels","author":"Blo\u0308ssner M.","year":"2005"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_2","first-page":"147","article-title":"Food insecurity: dimensions, contexts and, challenges","author":"Janin P.","year":"2012","journal-title":"Petit V.
