Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to analyze eating behaviours among high school students residing in Timis county area.
MATERIAL AND METHOD: We conducted a cross sectional study using a stratified cluster sample design to produce a representative sample of students for the Timis county. From 1083 primary sampling units (classes) 149 were randomly selected, stratified proportionally according to grades 9-12, high school profile (theoretical, industrial, vocational, and confessional), urban and rural environment. The study was carried out in 2004.
RESULTS: The overall response rate of 74.6%. A total of 2908 students were included in the survey. The proportion of students consuming less than daily milk & diary products, green salad and fruits was: 58.3% for milk & diary products, 71.2% for green salad and 59.1% for fruits. Based on multivariate analysis three common predictors for consuming fresh fruits, green salad and milk and diary products were identified: perceived weight, school performance and school grades.
CONCLUSIONS: Through examination of prevalence rates of nutrition-related concerns we have identified priority areas to be targeted with future interventions.
