Relationships between food consumption and living arrangements among university students in four European countries - A cross-sectional study

Table 4 Odds ratios of frequent consumption for students living at ‘other’ accommodation compared to students living at parental home (for food groups with homogenous effects by country/sex)

Food Group	‘Other’ accomodation versus parental home	p-value
	OR (95% CI)^a
Sweets*	0.98 (0.81-1.19)	0.82
Snacks^†	1.08 (0.88-1.31)	0.47
Fast food^†	1.16 (0.93-1.44)	0.2
Fruits*	0.75 (0.63-0.90)	0.002
Vegetables*	0.46 (0.38-0.57)	<0.001
Meat*	0.62 (0.52-0.75)	<0.001
Fish^†	0.83 (0.68-1.01)	0.06

^a Odds ratio of high versus low consumption among those living at ‘other’ accommodation compared to students living at parental home, adjusted for all country/sex combinations, separate models for each food group.
* Frequent consumption defined as: several times a day/daily.
^† Frequent consumption defined as: several times a day/daily/several times per week.
