“…Nonetheless, a weak relationship between gender and healthy habits remains even after controlling for both of these factors. One possibility is that girls' greater involvement in healthy eating is due in part to differences both in the value placed on health and beliefs about the importance of diet between males and females (Wardle et al, 1997).…”

The Adolescent Food Habits Checklist: reliability and validity of a measure of healthy eating behaviour in adolescents

Objective: Amid concerns about the quality of young people's diets, this paper describes the development of a measure of healthy eating behaviour for use with adolescents. Design: Items for the measure were selected from a larger pool on the basis of responses from a pilot study. The 23-item checklist was validated using measures of dietary fat and fibre intake, fruit and vegetable consumption, dietary restraint, nutrition knowledge and a measure of family income. Setting: Participants came from seven secondary schools in the north-west of England. Subjects: A total of 1822 adolescents aged between 13 and 16 y took part in the study, representing 84% of those invited to participate. Results: Correlations between measures indicate a good level of convergent validity, and the checklist is also shown to have high internal and test -retest reliability. Conclusions: The focus on choices available to adolescents means that the checklist will provide a useful addition to food frequency-type approaches to the measurement of adolescent eating behaviour.

“…Algumas pesquisas avaliaram os hábitos alimentares de estudantes universitários [4][5][6][7][8] , sendo observada, em sua maioria, baixa prevalência de alimentação saudável, com elevada ingestão de alimentos doces e gordurosos e baixa ingestão de frutas e hortaliças. Segundo Vieira et al 8 , os maus hábitos alimentares desses universitários poderiam estar sendo influenciados pelos novos comportamentos e relações sociais, sugerindo indícios de compulsão alimentar em alguns alunos que, ansiosos, podem transformar a alimentação em "válvula de escape" para as situações de estresse físico e mental.…”

EXERCÍCIOS E ALIMENTAÇÃO DE UNIVERSITÁRIOS | 39Rev. Nutr., Campinas, 21 (1) R E S U M O ObjetivoEste trabalho teve como objetivo verificar o nível de atividade física e os hábitos alimentares de universitários da área de saúde visto serem, no futuro, os disseminadores dessas informações. MétodosEstudo transversal, realizado em 281 estudantes da área da saúde da Universidade de Brasília. Foram avaliadas variáveis antropométricas, de consumo alimentar e de nível de atividade física. ResultadosObservou-se alto nível de sedentarismo nos estudantes da área de saúde, exceto nos alunos de educação física, que praticam atividade física como parte da própria grade curricular. Verificou-se tendência de menor nível de atividade física nos estudantes de menor estrato socioeconômico. A alimentação foi considerada inadequada para a maioria dos estudantes (79,7%). Os menores percentuais relativos a uma alimentação adequada foram observados para o grupo de leite e derivados (23,0%), frutas e vegetais (24,9%) e carboidratos complexos (25,9%). Verificou-se um alto percentual de consumo inadequado de refrigerantes e doces (74,0%). O sexo foi associado significantemente ao índice de massa corporal, tendo os homens um índice de massa corporal maior que o das mulheres (p<0,001). ConclusãoApesar de a amostra ser composta por estudantes da área da saúde, que, em princípio, são possuidores de maior conhecimento sobre práticas de vida saudáveis, observou-se um alto percentual de sedentarismo e de

“…Mutual connection between health variables, anthropometric measurements and nutrition patterns has been reported in many studies [1,10,14,16]. Although the relations between constitutional peculiarities and nutrition are well known, there are no universally recognized anthropometric methods for comparing the amount of food consumed by subjects with the peculiarities of their body build.…”

The study is focused on creating an anthropometric model that would enable to associate the body build peculiarities with nutritional variables. Thirty-six body measurements and 12 skinfolds were measured on 131 17-23-year-old female students of the University of Tartu, and 12 body composition characteristics were calculated. The subjects had to submit descriptions of their 24-hour menus. Nutrient intake was determined using the Micro-Nutrica software and the food composition database; the energy (in kcal) and main nutrients (proteins, fats and carbohydrates) content in the subjects' 24-hour menus were calculated. All body measurements were compared with nutritional variables, and 29 anthropometric variables were found that showed statistically significant correlations with at least one nutrient characteristic. The amount of food consumed correlated positively with body density and negatively with weight, circumferences, skinfolds and all indicators of body fat content (r reached 0.32). To associate body size, shape and composition with the amount of food consumed, a 5 SD height and weight classification was used, which consisted of three classes of concordance between height and weight (small, medium, large) and two classes of disconcordance -pyknomorphs and leptomorphs. All the 29 body measurements and nutrient were distributed systematically between the different classes. The pyknomorphous class with its greater body fat content and smaller density contrasted clearly with the class of leptomorphs. Food consumption in total as well as per 1 kg of body weight was smaller in pyknics 1 Originally published as "Using a height-weight classification for analysis of food energy and main nutrient contents in 24-hour menus of 17-23-year-old Estonian female students" in Anthropologischer Anzeiger 2007, 1, 51-59.202 | J. Peterson, H. Kaarma, S. Koskel than in leptosomes. Protein consumption did not reveal statistically significant differences. One should not overestimate the significance of BMI in nutritional studies. BMI characterises only obesity and cannot replace the characterisation of different body types. In our study, BMI of the small and the leptosomic class was almost equal, although these body types differ greatly from each other.
