“…Only 17.4% of the participants reported having a healthy diet. The present results are similar to those previously obtained by using SHEI to study Spanish university students [ 22 , 41 , 42 , 43 ]. They are, however, distinctly lower than the results from studies of the general Spanish population, for which between 28% and 35.8% of the participants reported having a healthy diet [ 26 , 27 , 29 ].…”

Given that there is only a limited body of evidence available concerning the dietary habits of Spanish university students, the present study assesses the quality of this group’s diet, their adherence to the National Food-Based Dietary Guidelines, and the predictive factors of their diet quality. To do so, a cross-sectional study was performed on a sample of 1055 students. The quality of the participants’ diets was then analysed by using the Spanish Healthy Eating Index, and then their level of compliance was assessed in light of the dietary recommendations put forth by the Spanish Society for Community Nutrition. According to these standards, only 17.4% of the participants had a healthy diet. The level of compliance with the recommendations was poor, highlighting especially the low levels of “fruit” and “vegetables” that they consumed as well as high levels of “cold meats and cuts” and “sweets.” The factors that predicted a worse diet are being male, living alone, low levels of physical activity, smoking, high alcohol intake, leading a sedentary lifestyle, psychological distress, and insomnia (p < 0.005). Furthermore, participants with low or high body weights showed signs of a higher quality diet (p < 0.001). The present findings suggest that a significant proportion of university students ought to change their dietary habits; these also attest to the importance of developing strategies that are directly targeted at university students in order to promote a healthy diet.

“…Nevertheless, concerning eating behavior, there was no significant differences between students from NDD and social sciences shown by others [ 7 ]. Results of the study from Basque Country showed that, Nutrition knowledge of NDD students affected their food practice, but this was not enough to achieve a healthy diet and to reduce their body dissatisfaction [ 14 ]. Therefore, the students of PESD might have high concern on body shape and size due to lack of nutrition knowledge compared to NDD.…”

“…In addition, there was a positive correlation between the abnormal eating attitudes, meal skipping and body size [ 10 , 11 ]. In parallel, the studies shown by others from different countries of the world have indicated that university students generally have problems associated with eating attitudes and body shape perception [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. However, no data appeared comparing Nutrition and Dietetics or Physical Education and Sports students with Social Sciences.…”

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVESStudies have indicated that university students majoring in nutrition and dietetics or sport sciences may have more obsessions associated with eating attitudes and body shape perception compared to other disciplines i.e. social sciences. Therefore, this study aimed to assess and compare the risk of eating disorders and body shape perception.MATERIALS/METHODSData was collected from 773 undergraduate students at the Departments of Nutrition and Dietetics (NDD) (n = 254), Physical Education and Sports (PESD) (n = 263), and Social Sciences (SOC) (n = 256).A socio-demographic and personal information questionnaire, Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-40), Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ-34), Perceived Figure Rating Scale (FRS) were applied; and body weights and heights were measured.RESULTSMean EAT-40 scores showed that, both male and female students of PESD had the highest scores (17.4 ± 11.6) compared with NDD (14.3 ± 8.3) and SOC (13.0 ± 6.2) (P < 0.05). According to EAT-40 classification, high risk in abnormal eating behavior was more in PESD (10.7%) compared to NDD (2.9%) and SOC (0.4%) students (P < 0.05). Students of PESD, who skipped meal, had higher tendency to the risk of eating disorders (P < 0.05). In parallel, body shape perception was found to be marked with higher scores in NDD (72.0 ± 28.7) and PESD (71.5 ± 32.8) compared with SOC (64.2 ± 27.5) students (P < 0.05). Considering BSQ-34 classification, high concern (moderate and marked) for body shape were more in PESD (7.4 %) compared to NDD (5.2%) and SOC (1.9%) students (P < 0.05). The body size judgement via obtained by the FRS scale were generally correlated with BMI. The Body Mass Index levels were in normal range (Mean BMI: 21.9 ± 2.8 kg/m2) and generally consistent with FRS data.CONCLUSIONSTendency to the abnormal eating behavior and substantial body shape perception were higher in PESD students who have more concern on body shape and were not well-educated about nutrition. In conclusion, substantial concern on physical appearance might affect eating behavior disorders in PESD students.

A Dysfunctional Sense of Smell: The Irreversibility of Olfactory Evolution in Free-Living Pigs

et al. 2013

Artificial selection began to override natural selection in domesticated wild boar and other species about 10,000 years ago. The intentional selection of a desired phenotypic trait is a complex process, and comes along with unexpected or even unwanted changes in other traits, because of epistatic gene effects, and ontogenetic con- straints. The loss of brain mass in domestic ungulates is related to selection for reduced reaction to external stimuli. Evolutionary losses in body structures and genes were once considered mostly irreversible, in keeping with Dollo’s law. Here we studied the biochemical and the histological functioning of the free-living pigs (FLPs) olfactory system, to see if and to what extent does FLPs regain a full sense of smell, as compared to the domestic pigs and wild boar Sus scrofa. In our samples both wild boars and FLPs have significantly larger brain per unit mass than domestic pigs, and FLPs’ brains are not significantly smaller than wild boar’s. Similarly, both wild boars and FLPs have signifi- cantly higher cell density than domestic pigs in the olfac- tory mucosa. Yet, at the functional level, olfactory marker protein and neuropeptide Y, both of which are important to the correct functioning of the sense of smell, are fully expressed only in wild boar. These results suggest that FLPs reacquired structural, but not the biochemical capa- bility in their olfactory system
