Association between Junk Food Consumption and Academic Performance among School Children Aged 6–12 Years

Abstract The present study entitled “Association between Junk Food Consumption and Academic Performance among School Children Aged 6–12 Years” was conducted to examine the relationship between junk food consumption habits and academic performance among school-going children. In recent years, increasing consumption of junk food among children has become a growing concern due to its possible influence on concentration, study habits, and learning ability. Children are often exposed to unhealthy food habits from an early age through advertisements, peer influence, and changing lifestyle patterns. The study was conducted on school children and their parents using the survey method. Data were collected through self-constructed questionnaires administered to parents, along with the academic results of students. The questionnaire included items related to junk food consumption habits, frequency of fast-food intake and study-related behavior. Academic performance was assessed through recent examination scores and responses related to children’s study habits and learning performance. The collected data were analyzed using correlation method to identify the association between junk food consumption and academic performance. The study found a significant negative correlation between junk food consumption and academic performance among school children aged 6–12 years. Children with higher junk food consumption scores tended to exhibit lower academic performance. The study concludes that excessive junk food consumption may adversely affect academic performance. Promoting healthy dietary habits among children can contribute to better educational achievement and overall development.
