Abstract

According to the 2018 ENNS, there is an overnutrition problem in Las Piñas City, Philippines, and online food delivery use (OFDU) is increasing. This quantitative research utilized convenience sampling to collect data through self-administered questionnaires to know the sociodemographic factors and OFDU of 70 adult respondents aged 20-59 years old, as well as the factors influencing their OFDU and food choices where its relationship was analyzed at 5% level of significance. Results showed that respondents who frequently order food online have high technological knowledge, belong to the middle class, prefer combo meals and fast foods, and mostly order for their families. The factor with the highest and lowest mean influencing OFDU was perceived ease of use (4.3986) and perceived risk (3.8560), while for food choices it was the price (3.2762) and weight control (2.3524), respectively. General factors influencing both OFDU and food choices showed a weak correlation (>0.2-0.4), but specific statements under it ranged from weak (>0.2-0.4) to moderate (>0.4-0.6). Both exhibited a direct and inverse relationship. This only means that the two factors minimally impact each other, but is considered unreliable as there are many considerations. The study suggests replication using a larger sample size for confirmation and enhancement of nutrition education.
