Full textAbstract:
Purpose: The Brigham Young University General Education Wellness Program has three options available to students to fulfill the programs requirement. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of these three wellness options. Specifically we wanted to know; does the university wellness requirement affect student nutrition and physical activity behaviors and do the various options available differ in their abilities to impact student nutrition and physical activity behaviors?
Methods: A three-group pretest/posttest design was used and a survey was administered, at both the beginning and end of the semester, to all students enrolled in HEPE 129, live and online, and all 100 level Physical Education activity classes. The final study design included 303 student responses from HEPE live, 551 responses from HEPE online and 270 responses from the activity classes. Data analysis of between and within group differences was conducted for each nutrition and physical activity behavior.
Results: HEPE online students had small but significant improvements in estimated VO2 max, and in the percentage of students who ate bran or whole grain cereal once/day or more. The activity classes increased significantly for almost all of the physical activity behaviors including estimated VO2 max, days/week of moderate activity, and the percent of students getting 30 minutes/day of vigorous activity, but only one of the nutrition behaviors, whole wheat food intake. HEPE live students increased for every variable, some more significantly than others.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that of the three wellness options offered at Brigham Young University, the HEPE live class had the largest impact on improving nutrition and physical activity behaviors across a one semester time period, the activity classes had the next largest impact, and HEPE online had the least impact.

Full textAbstract:
Adopting more sustainable consumption habits has been identified as a necessary step in the progression towards a sustainable society. In the area of sustainable consumption, personal food behaviour represents a strong leverage point. University students have been identified as a strategic audience; habits established during this transformative period can track forward into later life. This study seeks to identify the barriers inhibiting students from eating more sustainably. Perceived benefits of eating more sustainably, student food preferences, and student definitions of sustainable food are also identified. Focus groups, surveys, and interviews were carried out at universities in Europe, North America and Australia. Results show that perceived cost of sustainable food and a lack of knowledge, time and availability were ubiquitous barriers preventing students from adopting more sustainable eating habits. In addition to gathering the perceptions of others, the authors’ understanding of the challenges and benefits of eating more sustainably was augmented by a month-long self-study. Results from the self-study show that it is feasible to eat more sustainably without incurring additional costs. Recommendations informed by the focus groups, surveys, interviews and self-study are made to help students overcome the barriers to eating more sustainably.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to examine the factors that influence college students' eating habits and that may impede them from eating how they would prefer to eat by surveying 219 undergraduate college students, looking especially at the impacts of time and money on college students' eating habits. The results show that money does not affect all students equally but disproportionately affects students of lower economic classes. Social class and time constraints make eating healthy difficult for many college students. Students today have busy lives because they are not only students but workers, volunteers, and participants in campus organizations. Prices of food also have lead students to seek out cheaper, often unhealthy food choices. Unfortunately, eating healthy costs more money in our society. While in my study I look at college students these same issues are relevant and visible in a larger society as well.

Full textAbstract:
Mindful eating is the concept of being physically and emotionally aware of what and why you are eating. Currently the research is limited, especially in a large college aged population. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine if age, gender, physical activity, year in school and focus of academic major made a difference in mindful eating practices in college students. In this cross-sectional study, 427 students completed a 28-item validated Mindful Eating Questionnaire. The results show that only gender played a role in the total mindful eating score. Combined effects of the factors did affect total score as well as subscale scores. These findings suggest that a combination of factors affect mindful eating more than one factor alone. More research is needed in large college aged populations in order to better determine mindful eating practices of individuals in this age group.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine what relationship exists between the degree of an eating disorder or "disordered eating" pattern and athletic performance. The subjects were 30 female collegiate swimmers, between the ages of 18 and 22 years, at Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana. The subjects completed the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI) questionnaire, which assesses several psychological and behavioral traits associated with bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa, and the Bulimia Test-Revised (BULIT-R) questionnaire which measures symptoms of bulimia in adolescents and adults. A performance score was calculated from each swimmer's best event.The results of this study supported the research hypothesis that there would be a negative relationship between the swimming performance of athletes and degree of eating disorder or "disordered eating" pattern as measured by the two questionnaires. "Disordered eating" patterns predicted 20 percent of the variance in athletic performance.School of Physical Education

Full textAbstract:
Objective: To examine associations between eating disorder (ED) risk and dietary habits. Also, to determine if ED risk changes after exposure to nutrition education and to investigate how the dietary habits in both at-risk (AR) and not-at-risk (NAR) college students compare the Dietary Guidelines (DG).
Design: A longitudinal observational study over one academic year. Self-reported dietary intake was collected via seven-day food records. The Eating Attitudes Test 26 (EAT-26) was used to assess ED risk. Subjects underwent measurements of height, weight, skin fold, waist circumference and hip circumference.
Subjects/Setting: Data from 507 students enrolled in one of two fall 2005 nutrition/health courses at a land grant university in southwest Virginia were analyzed.
Main Outcome Measures: ED risk, mean daily intake of fruits, vegetables, fiber, whole grains, protein, total calories, and changes in ED risk over one academic year. BMI, weight change, percent body fat, and waist circumference were also evaluated.
Statistical Analysis Performed: Associations between ED risk and mean daily intake of dietary variables were assessed using independent samples t-tests (p<0.05). Changes in mean EAT-26 scores were assessed using paired-t tests. Changes in the proportion of subjects categorized as AR and NAR were evaluated using Chi-square analysis.
Results: This study was completed by 192 subjects. Those AR consumed significantly fewer calories than NAR subjects in both September. In April, AR subjects consumed significantly fewer fried vegetable servings than NAR subjects. Chi-square analysis in April revealed that the size of the NAR group increased thus reducing the size of the AR group. Overall, subjectsâ diets failed to meet the DG for fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and dietary fiber.
Conclusion: Overall dietary intake did not vary significantly between AR and NAR subjects, excepting lower caloric intake and fewer fried vegetable servings in those AR. Both groups failed to meet the DG for fruits, vegetables, whole grains and dietary fiber.
Application: Educational interventions emphasizing the DG may improve ED risk but warrant more specific targeting of poor dietary habits in order to increase the college populationâ s compliance with the DG.Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. International students in the United States have nearly doubled in number over the last decade and now account for more than five percent of all college students. Upon moving to the US, many students adopt unhealthy dietary and physical activity behaviors, perhaps related to a lack of familiarity and social support. This cross-sectional study assessed the impact of social support on international college students’ dietary and physical activity behaviors.Methods. International students (n = 318) enrolled in one of five public universities in a Midwest state completed a comprehensive survey assessing self-reported eating habits, physical activity behaviors, and perceived social support, using the Social Support for Eating Habits and Exercise scales, the Starting the Conversation (STC) scale, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Comparisons were made to explore the impact of perceived social support on international students’ dietary and physical activity behaviors. Results. Region of origin and family’s social support for discouraging healthy eating habits both significant predictors of poor eating habits. For every one unit increase of family social support that discouraged healthy eating habits (ranging from 5 to 25), there was a 0.14 unit increase in the STC scale (ranging from 8 to 24, wherein higher numbers represent less healthy diets). Additionally, region of origin, academic level, and friends’ social support for exercise were each significant predictors of physical activity behaviors. Friends’ support for exercise was positively associated with higher total physical activity Metabolic Equivalents of Task (MET) counts; for every one unit increase of friends’ social support for exercise (i.e., ranging from 5 to 50), there was an 81.1 METs-minutes/week increase in total physical activity MET count. Friends’ social support for exercise was a significant predictor of participants’ physical activity levels (i.e., inactive, minimally active, and health enhancing physical activity “HEPA”), with increasing support associated with higher likelihood of HEPA compared to inactivity. Discussion. Transitioning to the United States may have negative impacts on international students’ dietary and physical activity behaviors. We found that international students’ unhealthy eating habits increased when their families discouraged healthy eating habits. Additionally, we found that increased levels of friends’ social support for exercise was associated with increased physical activity MET counts and physical activity levels. As university administrators and wellness programs continue to explore interventions promoting positive health behaviors among international students, they should consider including elements that focus specifically on friendship social support as a motivating factor for increasing physical activity behaviors as well as including family members to increase social support for healthy eating habits.

Full textAbstract:
Young adults 18-25 years of age in the United States are experiencing a new world as they transition to young adulthood in college. The purpose of this investigation is to examine the eating behaviors of the young college population. The present study will examine the kinds of foods college students eat and how they make decisions regarding food consumption. The methodology of the present study consists of a quantitative survey, which includes questions about gender, living arrangements, convenience, and student eating habits. The sample size is comprised of 228 students at the University of Central Florida. A regression model is used to explore the influence of the independent variables, which include gender; living arrangement; convenience; and health have on eating habits. Findings indicated that convenience significantly influence eating habits (p [less than] .001). Gender, living arrangements, and health, however, did not significantly influence the eating habits of the college student respondents. A second regression model examined the potential effects of gender, living arrangements, convenience, and health- weight gain on eating habits. Again, convenience was the only significant independent variable that has an influence on eating habits (p[less than].001) while gender, living arrangements, and healthweight gain were not significant predictors.B.A.

Full textAbstract:
Adolescents are not consuming the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables (FV). An overall decrease in diet quality is seen as adolescents get older, with decreases in fruit and vegetable intake and increases in energy dense food intake. The aim of this study was to test whether or not the Food Dudes (FD) healthy eating program helps to prevent decreases in fruit and vegetable intake and increases in energy dense foods during the transition from elementary school into middle school.
Past FD studies supported the use of repeated tasting, rewards, and role modeling to encourage children to eat more fruits and vegetables at school with data from studies of young children. A review of available literature on effectiveness of these techniques in adolescents found evidence that the program may also be effective for adolescents.
Participants were 4th and 5th graders (n=874) from 6 elementary schools, recruited during the 2011-2012 school year. Treatment group was assigned by school and included a prize condition, a praise condition, and a control. Students were followed into the 2012-2013 school year when the 5th grade cohort entered middle school. During 2012-2013 an additional control group was recruited from three middle schools (n = 154).
Results showed short term success at increasing FV intake and that the program had some long term success preventing large drops in FV intake. A small to medium positive correlation was seen between energy dense snack foods and total FV intake (r ranging from .125 to .355, p
The results of this study suggest that the FD program may play a role in helping to maintain lunch time FV intake during the transition into middle school. The results for the impact on total FV intake and total diet were less conclusive due to problems in the self-reported data. Future studies on this topic should look for a better method for tracking changes in total FV intake and total diet.

The study investigated the factors associated with body anthropometry defect rate in Taichung city school children. The anonymous questionnaire was used. The results showed that the percentage of underweight BMI among students was 14.6% (n=103), normal BMI was 63.3% (n=447), overweight and obesity was 22.0% (n=156), in which overweight and obesity rate of boys and girls were 28.2% and 16.6%. Children’s anthropometry is significant positive correlation with the self-aware body posture, the satisfication of body posture, and the experience of diet control. The anthropometry of parents was significant positively correlated with the children (p<0.05). Children without intake of whole grain and calcium-rich food had higher level BMI. However, children with 4-7 times intake whole grain per week had lower level BMI. Children with 30-minute exercise per day had higher BMI levels than children with one hour exercise per day. Sleep time is negative correlated with BMI level (p<0.05). Spending much time using 3c products on holiday led to higher body weight. Children without brother had higher body weight. Children whose parents had higher education degree and better economic condition had higher BMI levels. This study provided data to explain and support the factors associated with healthy status of school children.

The number of people who have obesity and chronic diseases has increased. Besides, more and more young people have these problems. The situation is widespread and has become an urgent public health issue which has yet to be addressed . Obesity has directly caused chronic diseases, which then results in economic loss. Consequently, the concepts of physical fitness and holistic health have become the spotlight in the medical field, the education field and in the public. The study aims to find out the variables that most affect physical fitness, the solutions to obesity among students, and to provide reference for promoting physical fitness education. The subjects of the study are fifth and sixth graders in an elementary school in New Taipei City. A model has been developed to predict the possibility of winning medals for students who pass physical fitness tests using decision tree of data mining. The results showed that the possibility of winning medals is high when weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) of those subjects who passed physical fitness tests is normal. Besides, weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) play an significant role in the performance of long jump, 800 and 1600 race walking.

Trabalho Final do Mestrado Integrado em Medicina apresentado à Faculdade de MedicinaResumoIntrodução: A entrada na Universidade é definida por uma transição que leva a alterações na vida do estudante, nomeadamente alterações dos hábitos alimentares, desportivos e culturais entre outros.Objetivos: O objetivo do nosso estudo foi avaliar se existem diferenças nos hábitos alimentares, de atividade física e Índice de Massa Corporal entre os alunos da área da saúde curso de Medicina e alunos da área não pertencente á saúde, curso de Direito da Universidade de CoimbraMaterial e Métodos: Estudo analítico observacional em que os dados foram recolhidos através de questionários alimentar e de atividade física. Integraram este estudo 229 alunos, 112 do 6º ano do Mestrado Integrado em Medicina da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de Coimbra (FMUC), e 117 do 4º ano de Direito da Faculdade de semestre do ano letivo 2016/2017. A análise estatística foi realizada com SPSS versão 22 (p<0,5).Resultados: Foram incluídos 229 alunos, 112 de medicina (37 do sexo masculino, 75 do sexo feminino), 117 de direito (46 do sexo masculino, 71 do sexo feminino), a idade média nos alunos de medicina é de 20-23 anos (48,9%), dos de direito também de 20-23 anos (81,0%).Cerca de 55,4% dos alunos de medicina tomam o pequeno almoço saudável, apenas 30,8% dos de direito o fazem (p<0,001). Os alunos de direito bebem mais leite com chocolate ou cacau (39.7%vs18.2%). As saladas e ou legumes cozidos são consumidos uma ou mais vezes ao dia por um maior numero de estudantes de medicina (72,3%vs35%) (p<0,001). O consumo de fruta durante a semana é maior entre os alunos de medicina 50% comem duas ou mais peças por dia enquanto os de direito apenas 12,8% apresentam este consumo (p<0,001). Relativamente ao consumo de sopa, carne, peixe, refrigerantes, doces, sobremesas, pizzas, hambúrgeres e gelados não existe diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os dois grupos.Não foram também encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significativas no número de refeições diárias, a maioria dos alunos faz mais de 4 refeições diárias.Existe uma associação entre o curso e a prática de atividade física regular. Os alunos do 6º ano de medicina tem maior prática de atividade física regular 66,1% vs 48,7%.Relativamente ao índice de massa corporal (IMC) não existem diferenças estatisticamente significativas. Apresentando a maioria dos alunos IMC adequados.Conclusões e Discussão: Os alunos da área da saúde, curso de medicina tendem a ter melhores hábitos alimentares e a praticarem mais actividade física de uma forma regular do que os de direito, área não pertencente à saúde. Toda a informação e formação recebida pelos alunos de medicina contribuíram certamente para que estes tenham melhores hábitos alimentares e de actividade física. Pensamos assim que futuramente como profissionais de saúde, poderão contribuir de forma eficaz na prevenção de inúmeras patologias através da implementação de hábitos de vida saudáveis nos seus utentes e doentes nomeadamente alimentares e de actividade física.
AbstractIntroduction: Going to study at University can be defined as a transition resulting in changes in a student's lifestyle, especially changes in eating, sports, and cultural habits, among others.Objectives: The objective of our study was to evaluate whether differences in eating habits, physical exercise, and Body Mass Index exist among Medical students and Law students - a non-health degree, at the University of Coimbra. Material and Methods: An observational analytical study was carried out, in which data were collected from a survey of eating and physical exercise habits. A total of 229 students participated in this study, 112 from the 6th year of the Integrated Masters Degree in Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine of Coimbra University, and 117 from the 4th year of the Law Degree of the Faculty of Law of Coimbra University. Data were collected during the first Semester of the 2016/2017 Academic Year, and SPSS, version 22 (p<0.5) was used for the statistical analysis.Results: Data from 229 students were included, 112 from Medicine (37 males and 75 females), and 117 from Law (46 males and 71 females), the average age of the Medicine students being 20-23 years old (48.9%), and that of the Law students is also 20-23 years old (81.0%).About 55.4% of the Medical students eat a healthy breakfast, whereas only 30.8% of the Law students do so (p<0.001). Law students drink more chocolate milk or cocoa (39.7% vs. 18.2%). Salads and/or cooked vegetables are eaten at least once a day by a larger number of medical students (72.3% vs. 35%) (p<0,001). Medical students eat more fruit during the day, and 50% of them eat at least two pieces of fruit per day, whereas only 12.8% of Law students do the same (p<0.001). There is no statistically significant difference between the two groups with regards to eating soup, meat, fish, soft drinks, cakes, desserts, pizzas, hamburgers, and ice creams.Neither were there statistically significant differences in the number of daily meals, with most students eating more than four meals a day.There is an association between the degree being studied and the practice of regular physical exercise. 6th year Medical students practice more regular physical exercise 66.1% vs. 48.7%.There are no statistically significant differences regarding Body Mass Index (BMI), with most of the students having an appropriate BMI.Conclusions - Discussion: Medical students tend to have better eating habits and practice more regular physical exercise than Law students - a non-health degree. All the information and teaching received by the Medical students certainly contributes to their better eating and physical exercise habits. We thus think that, as health professionals in the future, Medical students will play an important role in the prevention of numerous health problems through the encouragement of healthy living habits in their patients, especially regarding food and physical exercise.

Text in EnglishThe purpose this study was to explore food habits and nutritional behaviours of adolescents in a school in Lenasia South, in Gauteng Province. Qualitative, explorative research was conducted in order to recommend effective prevention strategies of non-communicable diseases. Adolescents from the selected secondary school formed the sample of the study. Data collection was done using focus groups’ discussions. Three focus group discussions were conducted in the study. The first group comprised of thirteen male adolescents, followed by ten female adolescents and the final group was a combination of both female and male learners to produce a homogenous group. Specific common eating habits and nutritional behaviours emerged from the focus group discussions which included skipping meals, high consumption of high energy dense foods and sweetened beverages. Consequently, when developing intervention programs and policies to improve health of adolescents, environmental influences that undermine efforts to improve adolescent’s dietary behaviours must be addressed.

In the theoretical part of the diploma thesis there was described food of cereal character including school nutrition programmes and their representation in the diet of basic school pupils and university students. The interview focused on the representation of cereal products and their importance in the diet is described in the research part of this diploma thesis. The interview was made in the groups of pupils in higher basic schools and university students. When evaluating the questionnaire survey, there were assessed the quantity, individual types and quality of commonly consumed cereal products and the level of eating habits of respondents in accordance with the principles of good nutrition. After evaluation of the interviews it was found that basic school pupils have worse all-day eating habits than university students. It was confirmed mostly by the answers of the questions relating to breakfast, mid-afternoon snacks and total number of meals during a day. University students prefer wholegrain products more than basic school pupils. Pupils of higher basic schools have lower knowledge level of cereals than university students.

Background: Recent studies have identified mental health problems - in particular depression, as the most heaviest burden of disease among young people (Disability-Adjusted Life Year, DALY). Young people are the important personnel in the country development. Hense their health, especially in mental health, will be an important issue. Objective: To understand high school students’ mental health and its’ affecting factors. And to explore gender and other factors effect of mental health. Methods: This research is a secondary data analysis, but also a cross-sectional study. This research used the database of the Nutrition and Health Survey in Taiwan 2010 and 2011. Exclusion criteria were independent and dependent variables were missing. Finally, a total of 751 junior high school students and 922 high school students were included in the analysis. We used SUDAAN 9.0 and IBM SPSS Statistics 21 for statistical analysis. Statistical methods including frequency, percentage and chi-square test. And we used logistic regression to analyze the risk factors of high school students’ mental health. Results: The prevalence of junior high school students with poor mental health is 42.17%. The prevalence of senior high school students with poor mental health is 49.85%. After multivariate adjustment, junior high school students’ mental health’s affecting factors include gender, grade, consciously unhealthy and eating breakfast. Gender, consciously unhealthy and bodyimage are senior high school students’ mental health’s affecting factors. There are interactions between gender, consciously unhealthy, bodyimage, eating breakfast, and drinking. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, we recommend that parents and schools should be strengthened to enhance the mental health of students, especially girls. And parents should more concern about the health status and body weight changes in children, which are likely to affect the position of mental health.

Dissertação de mestrado integrado em PsicologiaA adição alimentar (AA) caracteriza-se por uma dependência em relação a alimentos altamente calóricos que levam a comprometimento clinicamente significativo. Os estudantes universitários parecem constituir um grupo de risco para o desenvolvimento de problemas alimentares, modificando os seus hábitos alimentares na transição do ensino secundário para o ensino superior. O presente trabalho encontra-se dividido em dois estudos. O estudo 1 avaliou 192 estudantes universitários divididos em dois grupos e pretendeu analisar a frequência de problemas de AA e a associação entre estes e hábitos alimentares. Trinta participantes (15.5%) reportaram a presença de problemas de AA. O grupo com problemas de AA reportou menor qualidade alimentar, maior ingestão de alimentos não saudáveis, uma alimentação menos saudável e maior insatisfação com o peso. O estudo 2 avaliou 34 estudantes universitários e pretendeu comparar os grupos com vs sem problemas de AA em relação a avaliações subjectivas de imagens de alimentos saudáveis vs não saudáveis. O grupo com problemas de AA reportou maior dificuldade no controlo de alimentos tanto saudáveis como não saudáveis. Os resultados deste estudo enfatizam as questões da perda de controlo e da ingestão de alimentos pouco saudáveis associados aos problemas da AA nos estudantes universitários.
Food addition (FA) is characterized by a dependence on high-calorie foods, which can lead to clinically significant impairment. University students seem to be a vulnerable group when it comes to the development of eating problems, due to the shift in their eating habits when they transition from secondary to higher education. The present investigation is divided into two studies. The first study evaluated one hundred and ninety-two university students divided into two groups, and intended to analyze the frequency of FA problems and the association between these problems and eating habits. Thirty (15.5%) participants reported the presence of FA problems. The group with FA problems reported lower food quality, higher intake of unhealthy foods, an unhealthy diet and greater dissatisfaction with weight. The second study evaluated thirty-four university students and intended to compare those with FA problems vs those without these problems in relation to subjective evaluations of healthy vs unhealthy food images. The group with FA problems reported greater difficulty in controlling both healthy and unhealthy foods. The results of this study emphasize the issues of loss of control and unhealthy food intake associated with FA problems in university students.

Orientação : Diana Aguiar Pereira dos SantosObjetivo: Este estudo comparativo pretendeu avaliar os níveis de atividade física e comportamento sedentário bem como os hábitos alimentares de estudantes do ensino superior portugueses dos cursos de nutrição, ciências do desporto e outras áreas disciplinares. Método: Trata-se de um estudo observacional, descritivo e transversal. Foram aplicados três questionários: 1) questionário de frequência alimentar; 2) questionário de estilos de vida, incluindo comportamento sedentário; 3) questionário de atividade física (Internacional Physical Activity Questionnaire – IPAQ versão reduzida). Participaram no estudo 347 estudantes do ensino superior (1º ciclo): 227 de cursos de nutrição (208 mulheres), 31 de ciências do desporto (13 mulheres) e 85 de outras áreas (33 mulheres), incluindo engenharias, economia, gestão, enfermagem, veterinária, farmácia. Resultados: A maioria dos alunos apresentou IMC normal. Os alunos de ciências do desporto foram os que praticaram mais atividade física. A entrada no ensino superior não alterou de forma significativa o volume semanal de atividade física. Apesar da carga horária de aulas e estudo em casa, maioria dos alunos pratica atividade física suficiente. De uma forma geral a maioria dos alunos despende muito tempo sentado, verificando-se contudo que os alunos de desporto passam menos tempo em atividades sentados durante a semana. Os alunos de nutrição são os que têm hábitos alimentares mais saudáveis. Os hábitos tabágicos encontramse abaixo da média nacional. Conclusão: Com este estudo, pode-se concluir que, apesar da entrada no ensino superior modificar em muito os hábitos e rotinas dos alunos, de uma forma geral todos os alunos apresentam estilos de vida (atividade física e comportamento sedentário e alimentação) saudável. O curso que cada aluno frequenta parece influenciar a prática de atividade física e alimentação que praticam.
Objective: This comparative study aimed to assess the levels of physical activity and sedentary behaviors and eating habits of Portuguese graduate students of nutrition, sports sciences and other graduations. Method: This is an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study. Three questionnaires were administered; 1) food frequency questionnaire; 2) lifestyles questionnaire, including sedentary behavior assessment; and 3) physical activity (International Physical Activity Questionnaire - IPAQ short version). The sample consisted of 347 college students: 227 nutrition courses (208 women), 31 from sport sciences courses (13 women), and 89 from other areas (33 women), including engineering, economics, management, nursing, veterinary, pharmacy. Results: The results of this study indicate that the majority of the students presented healthy BMI levels. Engaging in college was not related to changes in the weekly volume of physical activity. Despite the hours spent in classes and home study, most students were sufficiently active. Overall, all participants spent too much sitting time and sports sciences students spent significantly lower time spent in this behavior during week days. Nutrition students are those who presented better eating habits. Smoking status is below the national prevalence. Conclusion: In conclusion, despite the fact that engaging in college may be related to changes in the habits and routines of most students, in the present study the majority of the participants had healthy lifestyles (physical activity and sedentary behavior and eating habits). The course that students are attending may influence the physical activity, sedentary behaviors and the diet of the students.

(in English) Aims: The aim of the diploma thesis was to monitor the eating habits of students from chosen high school which is located in Prague. These habits were taken into consideration with regards to social aspects of food and the causes of overweight and obesity. Methods: Qualitative research was used as the default method to determine the objective of the thesis. Based on literature review the survey was created. The respondents subjectively evaluated a set of questions relating to food and eating habits. Results: According to the findings, a major impact on eating habits of high school students has a family in general or household, in which students live. Cooking trend at home plays an important role, even when talking about boom in eating at restaurants and fast foods. Regardless of household income, students are used to really eat most often at home (breakfast and dinner) and at school (lunch). As for eating habits, respondents, from the vast majority, do not pay any attention to this process. And even if the results of the research showed that a large majority of students think they eat healthily, then less than half of them is not satisfied with own weight. Household income therefore has no significant effect on the eating habits in selected high school students. According to the...

Um ritmo circadiano normal, hábitos alimentares saudáveis, prática de exercício físico regular e uma boa higiene de sono constituem fatores imprescindíveis para o bom funcionamento do organismo e para a prevenção de diversas doenças. Os universitários constituem uma população bastante vulnerável a ritmos circadianos anormais, hábitos alimentares pouco saudáveis, sedentarismo e problemas de sono, provenientes das alterações no seu estilo de vida bem como alterações a nível comportamental.
O objetivo deste estudo é identificar o cronótipo (matutino, intermédio ou vespertino), os hábitos alimentares e de sono dos alunos universitários. Neste sentido utilizou-se uma amostra de 302 estudantes da Universidade Fernando Pessoa, no qual 238 são do sexo feminino e os restantes 64 são do sexo masculino.
Com a finalidade da recolha de dados foi elaborado um questionário através do Formulários do Google. Para avaliar o tipo de cronótipo dos universitários aplicou-se o Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) e os hábitos de sono foram avaliados a partir do Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) e da Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Para avaliar os hábitos alimentares dos participantes formulou-se um conjunto de questões tendo em conta este objetivo. Estes dados foram recolhidos on-line, tendo sido enviado o questionário a todos os alunos da Universidade Fernando Pessoa através do respetivo correio eletrónico institucional.
No final desta investigação, foi possível concluir que a maioria dos alunos universitários apresenta um cronótipo intermédio (50 pontos ± 9,43), hábitos alimentares saudáveis e equilibrados e apresenta ainda uma má qualidade de sono (8 pontos ± 2,86) e padrões de sono irregulares, no entanto, não exibem sonolência diurna excessiva (8 pontos ± 3,96).A synchronized biological clock, healthy eating habits, regular physical exercise and good sleep hygiene are essential factors for the proper functioning of the body and for the prevention of various diseases. University students are quite vulnerable to abnormal circadian rhythms, unhealthy eating habits, physical inactivity and sleep problems due to changes in their lifestyle as well as behavioral changes. The objective of this dissertation is to identify the chronotype (matutinal, intermediate or vespertine) and university students’ eating and sleeping habits. In this sense we used a sample of 302 students from University Fernando Pessoa, in which 238 are female and the remaining 64 are male. For the purpose of data collection a questionnaire was developed by Google Forms. In order to evaluate the students’ type of chronotype was applied the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) and sleeping habits were assessed from the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). To evaluate the participants’ eating habits were formulated a set of questions regarding this objective. These data were collected online and the questionary having been sent to all students from University Fernando Pessoa via their institutional email. At the end of this investigation, it was concluded that most college students presents an intermediate chronotype (50 points ± 9,43), healthy and balanced eating habits, poor sleeping quality (8 points ± 2,86) and irregular sleep patterns, however they don’t exhibit excessive daytime sleepiness (8 points ± 3,96).

Orientação: Nelson TavaresO objetivo do trabalho realizado na presente dissertação foi determinar a existência da influência que os hábitos alimentares e o exercício físico têm na duração do sono e a sua associação com marcadores da obesidade em jovens universitários. A amostra que participou no estudo era composta por 98 estudantes do ensino superior, sendo que 22 eram do sexo masculino e 76 sexo feminino com idades compreendidas entre os 19 e 25 anos. Na elaboração deste trabalho recorreu-se a cinco questionários distintos, onde pretendíamos avaliar hábitos alimentares, exercício físico, duração/qualidade do sono, estados de ansiedade e relaciona-los com o índice de massa corporal de cada indivíduo. De acordo com os valores obtidos observámos que existe correlação entre os hábitos alimentares e ansiedade, bem como entre ansiedade e a duração do sono. Quanto ao exercício físico correlacionado com os restantes parâmetros não encontramos valores estatisticamente significativos, no entanto quando relacionando com os valores individuais nos hábitos alimentares notou-se valores correlacionáveis. O marcador de obesidade utilizado, índice de massa corporal, não mostrou correlação com nenhum dos parâmetros estudados em cada questionário, provavelmente devido aos valores recolhidos apresentarem reduzida dispersão. Conclui-se que a duração/qualidade do sono bem como a ansiedade têm um impacto significativo nos hábitos alimentares bem como no exercício físico. Os jovens devem adotar estilos de vida saudável onde se atribua importância devida a estados de ansiedade, bem como boas práticas de descanso traduzindo-se em qualidade no sono e assim adequando a duração correta do mesmo.
The objective of the present study was to determine the influence of eating habits and physical exercise on sleep duration and its association with obesity markers in university students. The sample that participated in the study was composed of 98 students of higher education, of whom 22 were males and 76 females between the ages of 19 and 25. In the elaboration of this study we used five different questionnaires, where we aimed to evaluate dietary habits, physical exercise, sleep duration / quality, anxiety states and relation with each individual's body mass index. According to the values obtained, we observed that there is a correlation between eating habits and anxiety, as well as between anxiety and sleep duration. Regarding the physical exercise correlated with the other parameters, we did not find statistically significant values, however, when correlating with the individual values in the eating habits, correlated values were observed. The obesity marker used, body mass index, showed no correlation with any of the parameters studied in each questionnaire, probably due to the collected values presenting reduced dispersion. It was concluded that sleep duration / quality as well as anxiety have a significant impact on eating habits as well as physical exercise. Young people should adopt healthy lifestyles where due importance is attached to states of anxiety, as well as good rest practices translating into quality in sleep and thus adjusting the correct duration of the same.
