Abstract

This study investigated Consumption Patterns of Trans-Fat Products Among Undergraduates of University of Nigeria, Nsukka. There were three research questions that guided the study. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The population used for the study comprised 41107 undergraduate students in University of Nigeria, Nsukka for the 2019/2020 academic session. Krejcie & Morgan sampling formula was used to draw a sample of 380 undergraduate students from the population which were studied. Data collection was facilitated using a structured students’ questionnaire on consumption patterns of trans-fat products (SQCPTFP) developed by the researcher. The instrument was face validated by three experts for internal consistency and credibility. The estimates of internal consistency of the developed scales were determined using Cronbach alpha based on the data collected in a pilot study among 30 undergraduate students outside the area of the study. The overall reliability estimate obtained was 0.856 for the enti
