Adolescence is characterized by increasing independence and the ability to make independent choices. Adolescent obesity is largely caused and prevented by personal factors, such as unhealthy eating habits and poor lifestyle choices. Anthropometric and body composition measurements are widely used to detect or diagnose a wide range of important dietary concerns in both adults and children. College students need to receive nutrition education in order to understand how to make sensible dietary and lifestyle decisions that can impact their long-term health and wellness. For considerable success, it is necessary to have precise rules and accurate nutrition environment assessments.
