Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Night blindness is the first sign of vitamin A deficiency (VAD), which can lead to blindness if left untreated. University students may be at risk of VAD-related night blindness due to unhealthy eating attitudes and inadequate vitamin A intake. This study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes toward vitamin A consumption affecting night blindness in university students.
UNASSIGNED: This cross-sectional study involved 409 third-year university students of Universitas Islam Sultan Agung, Semarang, Indonesia. Participants completed questionnaires about socio-demographics, their knowledge of vitamin A, and attitudes toward vitamin A consumption. Night blindness symptoms among university students were assessed using the Low Luminance Questionnaire (LLQ), followed by a bivariate analysis of the Chi-Square test. Multivariate binary logistic regressions were used to determine whether the independent variables were associated with night blindness. A p-value less than 0.05 indicated significance.
UNASSIGNED: The prevalence of high-symptom night blindness was higher among males (26.4%) than females (5.7%). Out of 409 university students, 48 from the non-medicine cluster of the study program had a night blindness symptom. The prevalence was lower in students who studied in the medicine cluster program. The level of knowledge on vitamin A had a significant relationship with symptoms of night blindness [prevalence ratio (PR) = 2.239 (95% CI = 1.110-4.516)]. The attitudes toward vitamin A consumption were significantly associated with night blindness (PR = 2.560, 95% CI = 1.215-5.392).
UNASSIGNED: The results of this study show that the risk of night blindness in university students can be prevented by increasing their knowledge and attitudes toward consuming vitamin A-rich food. The university can provide health promotion and vitamin A supplementation to avoid night blindness among academia.

摘要：
■夜盲症是维生素A缺乏（VAD）的第一个迹象，如果不及时治疗会导致失明。由于不健康的饮食态度和维生素A摄入量不足，大学生可能面临与VAD相关的夜盲症的风险。这项研究旨在确定对维生素A消费影响大学生夜盲症的知识和态度之间的关系。
■这项横断面研究涉及伊斯兰苏丹阿贡大学的409名三年级大学生，三宝郎,印度尼西亚。参与者完成了关于社会人口统计学的问卷，他们对维生素A的了解，以及对维生素A消费的态度。使用低亮度问卷（LLQ）评估大学生的夜盲症症状，然后进行卡方检验的双变量分析。多元二元逻辑回归用于确定独立变量是否与夜盲症相关。小于0.05的p值表示显著性。
■高症状夜盲症的患病率男性（26.4%）高于女性（5.7%）。在409名大学生中，来自该研究计划的非药物集群的48人有夜盲症症状。在医学集群计划中学习的学生的患病率较低。维生素A知识水平与夜盲症症状有显著关系[患病率比(PR)=2.239(95%CI=1.110-4.516)]。对维生素A消耗的态度与夜盲症显着相关（PR=2.560，95％CI=1.215-5.392）。
■这项研究的结果表明，大学生夜盲症的风险可以通过增加他们对食用富含维生素A的食物的知识和态度来预防。该大学可以提供健康促进和维生素A补充剂，以避免学术界的夜盲症。
