Socio-Demographic Influences on Fast-food Consumption and Health Outcomes: A Quantitative Study

Abstract

This research explores the socio-demographic determinants of fast-food consumption and their subsequent impact on health outcomes. Utilizing a stratified random sample of 300 adults, this study employs a quantitative approach to examine how factors such as age, gender, education, and occupation influence fast-food consumption patterns and related health behaviors. The results reveal significant socio-demographic disparities in fast-food intake and health effects, with younger adults, males, and individuals with lower educational levels consuming more fast-food and experiencing poorer health outcomes. These insights underscore the need for tailored public health interventions to address these disparities.
