“…As reported in other studies 9,10,13 , the prevalence of overweight was higher among male students than female students (43.6% versus 29.7%). This higher prevalence of overweight among men might be explained by the greater care of women with body esthetics, valuing a slim and fit body in order to meet beauty standards.…”

“…Similar results have been reported for adults from other countries where this increase is even greater 8,9 . College life is a critical period in terms of overweight since it is generally accompanied by a reduction in physical activity levels, increased stress, and the adoption of unhealthy eating habits such as increased consumption of soft drinks, sweets, fried and processed foods and skipping meals, factors that favor an increase in the amount of body fat 10 . Therefore, assessment of the nutritional status of university students has been recommended in order to identify subgroups that are at risk of being overweight and factors associated with this outcome.…”

Prevalence of and factors associated with overweight among university students from Rio Branco, Acre -Brazil Prevalência e fatores associados ao excesso de peso em universitários do município de Rio Branco, Acre -Brasil Abstract -The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of and factors associated with overweight among university students from the city of Rio Branco, Acre, Brazil. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 1,104 students (mean age: 24 years) from Rio Branco, Acre. Overweight was used as the dependent variable. The following independent variables were studied: socioeconomic variables (gender, age, teaching institution, period of study, marital status, income, household members, living with other people, parent's education level, and working or not); self-reported health and morbidity variables (health perception, hypertension, diabetes, and altered cholesterol); lifestyle variables (physical activity, watching television, computer use, smoking, and alcohol consumption). The nutritional status was classified based on body mass index. Univariate analysis was performed using Pearson's chi-squared test or Fisher's exact test. Variables with a p value < 20% on univariate analysis were included in the multiple Poisson regression model. The prevalence of overweight was 35.6%. In the multiple regression model for male students adjusted for age, overweight was associated with marital status, household income, hypertension, and watching television every day. In the model for female students, the variables that remained associated were self-perceived health status, hypertension, and alcohol consumption in the last month. Overweight is determined by a combination of different factors which differed in the present study between men and women. Key words: Body mass index; Obesity; Overweight; Prevalence; University students.

“…However, the high proportion of neophobic university students in the sample is cause for concern. The period at university is associated with unhealthy eating habits 6 , which may be aggravated in neophobic university students, because food neophobia negatively affects dietary variety 6,20 . In addition, among the psychological factors affecting an individual's relationship with food, the systematic reluctance to try novel or unknown foods appears to play a critical role in the development of possible eating disorders 31 .…”

Consumption of nutrients with antioxidant action and its relationship with lipid profi le and oxidative stress in student users of a university restaurant ResumenIntroducción: la relación entre la dieta y la salud ha despertado interés científi co, especialmente en lo referente al consumo de nutrientes antioxidantes presentes de forma natural en los alimentos, debido a su acción contra los efectos nocivos de los radicales libres en el cuerpo. Objetivo: el objetivo de este estudio fue estimar la ingesta de nutrientes antioxidantes y su relación con el perfi l lipídico y el estrés oxidativo en estudiantes usuarios de un restaurante universitario, en comparación con los no usuarios. Métodos: este es un estudio transversal que incluye 145 estudiantes universitarios, divididos en dos grupos: los usuarios del restaurante universitario (grupo 1, n = 73) y no usuarios (grupo 2, n = 72). Fueron medidos el índice de masa corporal y la circunferencia de la cintura, y se estimó la ingesta de micronutrientes antioxidantes. Se determinaron las concentraciones séricas de colesterol total, colesterol unido a lipoproteínas de alta densidad, colesterol unido a lipoproteínas de baja densidad, los niveles de triglicéridos y las concentraciones plasmáticas de malondialdehído. Resultados y conclusiones: la ingesta de cobre, zinc, selenio y la vitamina C se encontraba dentro de las recomendaciones de los dos grupos, y la de vitaminas A y E estaba por debajo de los valores de referencia. Hubo una correlación entre el consumo de vitamina C y los triglicéridos. Miembros del grupo 1 mostraron mejores patrones dietéticos en relación con micronutrientes antioxidantes, lo que refl eja menos perfi l lipídico aterogénico y una menor exposición al estrés oxidativo en comparación con el grupo 2. AbstractIntroduction: The relationship between diet and health has aroused scientifi c interest, especially the consumption of antioxidant nutrients naturally present in foods, because of its action against the deleterious effects of free radicals in the body. Objective: This study aimed to estimate the intake of antioxidant nutrients and its relationship with lipid profi le and oxidative stress in student users of a university restaurant in comparison with non-users. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 145 university students divided into two groups: users of the university restaurant (group 1, n = 73) and non-users (group 2, n = 72). We measured body mass index and waist circumference, and estimated the intake of antioxidant micronutrients. Serum concentrations of total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, and plasma concentrations of malondialdehyde were determined. Results and conclusion: Intake of copper, zinc, selenium, and vitamin C were within the recommendations in both groups, and vitamins A and E were below the reference values. There was a correlation between the intake of vitamin C and triglycerides. Group 1 members had better dietary patterns in relation t...
