          Abstract

          Introducción: El estudio de estilos de vida saludable en universitarios es parte de las estrategias institucionales para reducir la prevalencia de sobrepeso y obesidad. Por tal razón, el objetivo de esta investigación fue caracterizar en la población universitaria de la ciudad de Medellín, Colombia, el consumo y el conocimiento referente a la importancia del consumo adecuado de productos cárnicos. Material y Métodos: El tamaño de la muestra fue de 400 estudiantes, seleccionados aleatoriamente de acuerdo con los factores de ponderación: género, nivel socioeconómico y tipo de universidad, teniendo en cuenta un nivel de confiabilidad del 95% y un error máximo permisible del 5%. Resultados: Se encontró que el pollo es la carne preferida por los universitarios, seguido del pescado; la carne de cordero es la de menor preferencia; se encontró mayor consumo en el género masculino (p<0,05) de pescado, conejo y cabra. Con respecto al gusto que poseen los estudiantes por los diferentes cárnicos, se encontró mayor gusto entre los hombres (p<0,05) y en las universidades públicas (p<0,0001). En cuanto a los conocimientos sobre el valor nutricional, las mujeres tienen un mayor nivel que los hombres (p<0,05) y los estudiantes de estrato bajo son los que menos conocen sobre las propiedades de los cárnicos (p<0,05). Conclusiones: Teniendo en cuenta el bajo conocimiento de los universitarios sobre la importancia del consumo de cárnicos, es necesario implementar programas de educación e intervención para mejorar sus hábitos alimenticios.

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

          Background The transition of young people from school to university has many health implications. Food choice at the university can differ because of childhood food consumption patterns, sex and the living arrangements. Food consumption may change especially if students are living away from home. We aimed to assess food consumption patterns among university students from four European countries and how they differ by their living arrangements. Methods We analysed data from a cross-country survey assessing health and health behaviours of students. The sample comprised a total of 2402 first year undergraduate students from one university in each of the countries of Germany, Denmark, Poland and Bulgaria. Food consumption was assessed by means of a food frequency questionnaire with 9 food groups (indicators). Results Students’ food consumption patterns differed across the countries. Frequent consumption of unhealthy items was common. Bulgarian students reported most often frequent consumption of sweets and cakes and snacks (e.g. chips and fast food). Polish students reported the least frequent consumption of vegetables and a low consumption of fruits. Across all countries except Bulgaria, men reported substantially more often frequent consumption of snacks than women. Students living at parental home consumed more fruit, vegetables, and meat than those who resided outside of their family home in all studied countries. There was more variation with regard to cakes and salads with more frequent consumption of cakes among Bulgarian female students and Danish male students and more frequent consumption of salads among Danish female students not living at parental home, compared to students from other countries. Conclusions Nutrition habits of university students differed across countries and by sex. Students living at parental home displayed more healthy nutrition habits, with some exceptions.

            Perceived stress, depression and food consumption frequency in the college students of China Seven Cities.

            The aim of the study was to explore the association between perceived stress, depression and food consumption frequency. A self-administered questionnaire that included the perceived stress scale, the depression scale and dietary intake was used in the baseline survey of a cohort study of 2579 local college students over 7 cities in China. Gender and city differences were found in perceived stress scores and depression scores. There were also significant differences among diverse smoking levels and among perceived weight categories in perceived stress and depression scores. Stepwise logistic regression models found that frequency of consumption of fresh fruit, ready-to-eat food and snack food had apparently independent effects on perceived stress, whereas the intake level of fresh fruit, ready-to-eat food and fast food was significantly associated with depression. The link between food consumption frequency, perceived stress and depression suggests that diet intervention may be considered a mediate strategy integrated in psychology prevention program among normal population of the college.
