Deterioration in health due to junk food consumption is a global concern, with adolescents at a greater risk. A cross-sectional study was conducted to understand the dynamics of junk food consumption with obesity in adolescent Tibetan girls (13–18 years; N = 276) of Himachal Pradesh, India. A pretested schedule and anthropometric measurements were used for data collection. Descriptive and bivariate analysis was done. The odds ratio was the determined. The study found that 45.28% of the girls consumed some form of junk food. Also, 25.4% and 16.3% were also centrally obese according to waist–hip ratio (WHR) and waist–height ratio (WHtR) respectively. Girls who consumed junk food were found to be at a greater risk (WHR: OR = 7.942, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 4.132–15.262; WHtR: OR = 3.652, 95% CI = 1.820–7.327 at P < 0.001) of developing abdominal obesity. Frequent consumption of junk food was found to be remarkably high (77.60%) among the studied population. It is of utmost importance to prioritize implementation programmes on healthy eating habits through various government and non-government agencies in order to improve health among adolescents.Keywords
