RESUMO
BACKGROUND: High calorie foods, especially high in sugar and sodium may have an addictive potential. Experimental rats are able to develop symptoms and neurochemical changes, comparable to those observed in drug abuse, when they are exposed intermittently to sucrose. AIM: To evaluate the association between nutritional status and the prevalence of food addiction in Chilean college students. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Food addiction was assessed using the Yale Food Addiction Scale in 292 Chilean students aged 18-39 years (35% males). Height and weight were measured and body mass index (weight/height²) was calculated. RESULTS: Eleven percent of participants met the criteria for food addiction. Women had a higher prevalence than men (14.4% and 4.8%, respectively). Thirty percent of individuals with a body mass index over 30 kg/m² met the criteria for food addiction. CONCLUSIONS: In these Chilean students, food addiction was more prevalent in women and a higher prevalence was observed in obese individuals.

The aim of the study was to determine the association between fewer hours of sleep and excess weight/obesity in first- to fourth-year nutrition students at Universidad de San Sebastian in Chile. A total of 635 students were evaluated, of whom 86.4% were women. The Pittsburg sleep survey was administered to each student along with an anthropometric evaluation, and the body mass index of each was calculated. A raw and adjusted analysis of logistic regression was performed. A total of 57.1% of students slept less than the recommended amount. Sleeping less was associated with excess weight or obesity in the model adjusted for age and daytime sleepiness (adjusted OR [aOR], 1.84; 95% CI, 1.26-2.68), and adjusted for age, smoking, dairy, fruit, and legume consumption; and daytime sleepiness (aOR, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.29-2.76). There is an association between fewer hours of sleep and higher body mass in this population; this should be considered in excess weight prevention.

Objetivo: asociar patrones alimentarios con la autopercepción del estado nutricional en estudiantes universitarios chilenos de Nutrición y Dietética.Material y métodos: estudio transversal en el que se evaluó a 634 estudiantes de Nutrición y Dietética, de los cuales un 86,4% eran mujeres. A cada alumno se le mostraron siete modelos anatómicos correspondientes a valores de índice de masa corporal (IMC) de 18, 22, 25, 27, 30, 35 y 40 kg/m2. Cada estudiante debía elegir el modelo con el que mejor se identificaba. Posteriormente, se realizó la evaluación antropométrica, se calculó el IMC real comparándolo posteriormente con el IMC percibido, y finalmente se le aplicó una encuesta alimentaria.Resultados: se observa que los sujetos que sobreestiman su peso presentan un menor porcentaje de cumplimiento en el consumo de frutas y verduras al día; en cambio, el mayor porcentaje de sujetos que sigue las recomendaciones se encuentra en el grupo que se ve igual. Hay unaasociación entre una buena percepción de la imagen corporal y el consumo de 3 o más porciones de frutas al día OR = 0,554 (IC 95%; 0,360-0,852), 2 o más porciones de verduras al día OR = 0,438 (IC 95%; 0,283-0,678) y un consumo de alcohol menor de una vez a la semanaOR = 0,451 (IC 95%; 0,270-0,752).Conclusión: los estudiantes que registran una ingesta adecuada de verduras y frutas autodefinen su alimentación como saludable e ideal y tienden a autopercibirse coherentemente en relación con su estado nutricional; además, estos sujetos son los que presentan una ingesta menor de alimentos poco saludables.

OBJETIVE: to determine food patterns and its association with the consumption of various foods with nutritional status of Chilean university students of Nutrition and Dietetics. MATERIAL AND METHODS: cross-sectional study, 634 students were evaluated Nutrition and Dietetics at the Universidad San Sebastián, of Santiago, Concepción, Valdivia and Puerto Montt. Each student a food survey was applied and an anthropometric assessment. RESULTS: 68% of students eat breakfast daily, 36.1% and 37.1% consume the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables, 64.9% consume soft drinks frequently. A positive association was observed between an adecuated weight and the fact of eat vegetables (≥ 2 servings/day) OR = 0.662 (0.440 to 0.996), whole grains OR = 0.474 (0.224 to 1.002), low consumption of fried and sweet snack OR = 0.643 (0.406 to 1.019) and OR = 0.545 (0.360 to 0.825) respectively. CONCLUSIONS: students have an insufficient intake of healthy foods and a high intake of unhealthy foods, also shows that the intake of vegetables, whole grains, low consumption of fried foods and sweet snacks are associated with a normal nutritional status among students evaluated.
Objetivo: determinar los patrones de alimentación y asociar el consumo de diversos alimentos con el estado nutricional de estudiantes universitarios chilenos de Nutrición y Dietética. Material y métodos: estudio transversal. Se evaluaron 634 estudiantes de Nutrición y Dietética de la Universidad San Sebastián de las ciudades de Santiago, Concepción, Valdivia y Puerto Montt. A cada estudiante se le aplicó una encuesta alimentaria y se le realizó una evaluación antropométrica. Resultados: el 68% de los estudiantes consume desayuno diariamente, 36,1% y 37,1% consume las porciones recomendadas de frutas y verduras, el 64,9% consume bebidas azucaradas frecuentemente. Se observa una asociación entre un buen peso corporal y el consumo de verduras (≥ 2 porciones/día) OR = 0,662 (0,440-0,996), alimentos integrales OR = 0,474 (0,224-1,002) y un bajo consumo de frituras y snack dulces OR = 0,643 (0,406- 1,019) y OR = 0,545 (0,360-0,825), respectivamente. Conclusiones: los estudiantes presentan una ingesta insuficiente de alimentos saludables y un elevado consumo de alimentos poco saludables, además se observa que la ingesta de verduras y cereales integrales, así como un bajo consumo de frituras y bocadillos dulces se asocian a un estado nutricional normal en los estudiantes evaluados.

El sedentarismo se relaciona con disminución a la sensibilidad de insulina y acumulación de tejido adiposo visceral. Lo que sumado a malos hábitos alimentarios, explican en parte el aumento global de sobrepeso y obesidad. En Chile el exceso de peso afecta a 64,4% y el sedentarismo al 88,6% de la población.El objetivo es determinar los niveles de sedentarismo en los estudiantes de la carrera de Nutrición y Dietética y evaluar si existe asociación con sus hábitos alimentarios. Se evaluaron 607 estudiantes de la carrera de Nutrición y Dietética aplicándoles una evaluación antropométrica de peso y talla, una encuesta de evaluación alimentaria y una encuesta de actividad física. Resultados: El porcentaje de mujeres sedentarias fue significativamente mayor que en los hombres (74,3% v/s 40,5%). Además,las mujeres que nunca cenabancasi duplicaron el porcentaje observado en los hombres. Finalmente,al comparar 2 grupos de estudiantes, unocompuesto por los que nunca desayunaban, ni cenaban y otro por los que desayunaban y cenaban todos los días,se determinó que existe asociación entre actividad física y la conducta alimentaria (â©2= 10,56; p=0.001) En este estudio se determinó que los individuos jóvenes sedentarios presentaban un mal comportamiento alimentario que quienes realizaban algún tipo de actividad física. Nuestros resultados sugieren que realizar algún tipo de actividad física se asocia a un mejor patrón de alimentación(AU)
A sedentary lifestyle is associated with decreased insulin sensitivity and accumulation of visceral adipose tissue. Which combined with poor eating habits, explain the overall increase in overweight and obesity. In Chile overweight it affects 64.4% and 88.6% sedentary population. The objective was to determine the levels of sedentarism in Nutrition and Dietetics students's and evaluate whether there is an association with eating habits. 607 students from Nutrition and Dietetics were evaluated by applying an anthropometric weight and height assessment, a food assessment survey and a physical activity survey. Results: The percentage of sedentary women was significantly higher than in men (74.3% v / s 40.5%), also women who never eat dinner nearly twice the percentage observed in men. Finally, students who performed some type of physical activity had a significantly higher percentage in the frequency of consumption of breakfast and dinner, with respect to sedentary students. Determining an association between physical activity and eating behaviour (â©2= 10,56; p=0.001). This study determined that young sedentary individuals had a worse eating habits than those who performed some type of physical activity. Our results suggest that perform some type of physical activity is associated with better eating pattern(AU)

RESUMEN El objetivo del estudio fue determinar la asociación entre menor número de horas de sueño y sobrepeso/obesidad en estudiantes de nutrición de primero a cuarto año, de la Universidad San Sebastián en Chile. Se evaluaron 635 estudiantes, de los cuales el 86,4% fueron mujeres. A cada estudiante se aplicó la encuesta de sueño de Pittsburg, una evaluación antropométrica y se calculó el índice de masa corporal. Se realizaron análisis de regresión logística crudo y ajustado. El 57,1% de estudiantes duerme menos de lo recomendado. Dormir menos se asocia con sobrepeso u obesidad en el modelo ajustado por edad y somnolencia diurna (ORa: 1,84; IC 95%: 1,26-2,68) y ajustado por edad, consumo de tabaco, lácteos, frutas, verduras, leguminosas, somnolencia diurna (ORa: 1,83; IC 95%: 1,29-2,76). Existe asociación entre menos horas de sueño y mayor peso corporal en esta población, siendo un factor que considerar en la prevención de sobrepeso.
