dc.description.abstractEating habits begin in childhood, remain during adulthood and undergo changes as young adults enter university. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the food knowledge in a sample of university students in Portugal, as well as to identify in what way some sociodemographic factors influence that knowledge. This cross-sectional study was undertaken by means of a questionnaire on a non-probabilistic sample of 376 university students in Viseu. The results showed that most of the participants presented a normal body mass index. In general, students revealed to have a high degree of knowledge about some aspects of a healthy eating (mean scores between 4 and 5, on a scale from 1 to 5) and the majority of them (80.6%) identified the current food wheel. It was also observed that it is through family and Internet that most of the students get the information about healthy eating. Regarding students’ self-evaluation of the degree of information, they believed to have about healthy eating, the average score obtained was 3.91 ± 0.7, indicating that they thought they were well informed about this theme. The mean scores were higher for men, students who were aged 22 years or over, as well as for those who practiced high competition sport, who were connected to food areas and also for the students’ who had already attended a class performed by a nutritionist. Furthermore, it was also observed that, in general, students had notion of which food they should eat in bigger and smaller quantities, not knowing, however, which are the recommended daily portions. This study highlighted the need to deepen the debate on this topic in order to improve students’ knowledge about healthy eating.pt_PT
