Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to evaluate and correlate micronutrient intake and nutritional knowledge level of university students. The study data were collected face to face by the researchers with the help of a questionnaire. 567 university students (451 female, 116 male) aged 19-27 were included in the study. With the help of the questionnaire, the socio-demographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, food consumption, nutritional knowledge levels and physical activity levels of the individuals were questioned. SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) 22.0 statistical package program was used for the statistical evaluation of the data obtained from the study. The mean age of the individuals was 21.8±13.76 years, and the average Body Mass Index (BMI) was 22.1±4.22 kg/m2. Of the individuals, 26.3% had bad, 51.3% moderate, 15.2% good, 7.2% very good basic nutritional knowledge. 79.7% of individuals have bad, 14.6% moderate, 0.7% good and 4.9% very good knowledge about food preferences. A significant difference was found between the grades of education in terms of the total score of the Nutrition Knowledge Level Scale for Adults (p

Özet

Bu çalışmada üniversite öğrencilerinde mikro besin ögesi alımının ve beslenme bilgi düzeyinin değerlendirilmesi ve ilişkilendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma verileri araştırmacılar tarafından anket formu yardımıyla yüz yüze toplanmıştır. Çalışmaya 19-27 yaş arası 567 üniversite öğrencisi (451 kadın, 116 erkek) dahil edilmiştir. Anket yardımıyla bireylerin sosyo-demografik özellikleri, antropometrik ölçümleri, besin tüketimleri, beslenme bilgi düzeyleri ve fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri sorgulanmıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen verilerin istatistiksel olarak değerlendirilmesinde SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) 22.0 istatistiksel paket programı kullanılmıştır. Bireylerin yaş ortalaması 21,8±13,76 yıl, Beden Kütle İndeksi (BKİ) ortalaması 22,1±4,22 kg/m2’dir. Bireylerin %26,3’ü kötü, %51,3’ü orta, %15,2’si iyi, %7,2’si çok iyi temel beslenme bilgi düzeyine sahiptir. Bireylerin besin tercihi konusunda %79,7’si kötü, %14,6’sı orta, %0,7’si iyi, %4,9’u çok iyi bilgi düzeyine sahiptir. Eğitim görülen sınıf dereceleri arasında Yetişkinlerde Beslenme Bilgi Düzeyi Ölçeği toplam puanı açısından anlamlı fark saptanmıştır (P
