Resumo: | Objective: To estimate the concern for a healthy diet and the nutrition knowledge of undergraduate students of a pharmacology and biochemistry program and their associations with the variables of interest.Methods: This cross-sectional study administered the Nutrition Knowledge Scale and the How is your diet? questionnaire to 381 students. The associations between concern for a healthy diet and nutrition knowledge and between these two factors and the demographic variables were measured by the chi-square test (chi(2)) or Fisher's exact test. The significance level was set at 5%.Results: The mean age of the students was 20.6 (standard deviation [SD] = 2.7) years; 78.2% were female students; their mean body mass index was 22.6 (SD = 3.7) kg/m(2); and 73.5% had an appropriate body mass index related nutritional status. Most students fell within the category "pay attention to your diet" (77.1%) and "moderate nutrition knowledge" (79.7%). Concern for a healthy diet was significantly associated with program year (p = 0.024), socioeconomic class (p = 0.012), and physical activity (p < 0.001). Nutrition knowledge was associated only with program year (p < 0.001). Concern for a healthy diet was not associated with nutrition knowledge (p = 0.808).Conclusion: Physically inactive, first-year students from socioeconomic class B (US$ 1,046 - 1,872) were less concerned with a healthy diet. Such concern was not related to the students'nutrition knowledge. |

Métodos: Este estudio transversal. Participaron 381 estudiantes. Fue utilizado como instrumentos de medición a “Escala El conocimiento nutricional” y “¿Cómo está la comida?”. Se realizó un estúdio asociación entre la preocupación por una alimentación sana y el conocimiento nutricional y aquellos con las variables demográficas mediante el uso de la prueba de chi-cuadrado (2) o Fisher. Hemos adoptado un nivel de significación del 5%. Resultados: La edad promedio de los estudiantes fue de 20,6 (SD = 2,7) años, el 78,2% eran varones femenina. El índice de masa corporal (IMC) fue de 22,6 (SD = 3,7) kg/m2 y 73,5% se presentaron con un estado nutricional adecuado para este indicador. La mayoría de los alumnos evaluados fueron categorizados como “estad atentos con la comida” (77,1%) y “el conocimiento nutricional moderado” (79,7%). Se han observado asociaciones significativas entre la preocupación por una alimentación sana y año del curso (p = 0,024), la classe económica (p = 0,012) y la actividad física (p < 0,001). El conocimientos nutricionales sólo se asoció con el año del curso (p < 0,001). No se encontró asociación significativa entre la preocupación por una alimentación saludable y conocimientos sobre nutrición (p = 0,808). Conclusión: Los estudiantes de primer año por supuesto, pertenecen a la clase económica B y no físicamente activos mostraron una menor preocupación por una alimentación saludable. Esta preocupación no se estaba relacionado con el conocimiento nutricional presentado por los estudiantes.Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Univ Estadual Paulista, Dept Alimentos &Nutr, Fac Ciencias Farmaceut Araraquara, UNESP, Sao Paulo, BrazilUniv Estadual Paulista, Farm Bioquim, Fac Ciencias Farmaceut Araraquara, UNESP, Sao Paulo, BrazilUniv Estadual Paulista, Dept Alimentos &Nutr, Fac Ciencias Farmaceut Araraquara, UNESP, Sao Paulo, BrazilUniv Estadual Paulista, Farm Bioquim, Fac Ciencias Farmaceut Araraquara, UNESP, Sao Paulo, BrazilFAPESP: 2013/14288-6Aula Medica EdicionesUniversidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp)Bernardes Spexoto, Maria Claudia [UNESP]Ferin, Giovana Garcia [UNESP]Duarte Bonini Campos, Juliana Alvares [UNESP]2015-10-21T20:54:27Z2015-10-21T20:54:27Z2015-04-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article1813-1823application/pdfhttp://www.aulamedica.es/gdcr/index.php/nh/article/view/8350Nutricion Hospitalaria, v. 31, n. 4, p. 1813-1823, 2015.0212-1611http://hdl.handle.net/11449/12935310.3305/nh.2015.31.4.8350WOS:000352928200048WOS000352928200048.pdfWeb of Sciencereponame:Repositório Institucional da UNESPinstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPengNutricion Hospitalaria0,411info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-06-21T12:47:00Zoai:repositorio.unesp.br:11449/129353Repositório InstitucionalPUBhttp://repositorio.unesp.br/oai/requestopendoar:29462024-08-05T19:11:20.326462Repositório Institucional da UNESP - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false |
