Evaluation of Food Literacy and Eating Disorders and Related Factors in University Students

Öz

The university student period is of great importance as it is easier to exhibit risky behaviors such as unhealthy eating. The aim of this study is to assess the food literacy and eating disorders of university students to contribute to the planning of remedial interventions. This study was conducted with 813 students from Kütahya Health Sciences University, in 2022. Data were collected through a survey form. Factors associated with food literacy and eating disorders were demonstrated using chi-square tests and binary logistic regression analysis. Food literacy was found to be more inadequate/limited in men, younger individuals, those who perceive themselves as weak, those who do not prioritize healthy eating, those who consume less than five servings of fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains (excluding potatoes and corn), and those who consume more than 50 grams of sugar daily. Eating disorders were more common among those who perceive themselves as overweight or normal weight, those who do not eat regularly, those who restrict their eating to stay thin or maintain an ideal weight, those with fast food habits, those whose food intake varies with emotions, and those with lower BMI and associate degree education. In order for university students, who are the future of the country, to acquire healthy eating habits, we think that planning remedial interventions such as the inclusion of healthy nutrition in educational curricula and various activities, regulations in the nutrition facilities of universities and dormitories, and in the amount of loans/scholarships given will have a positive effect.
