The aim of the study was to assess dietary habits, overweight and obesity among the students of the Białystok Medical University. Results of our own studies and of other authors indicate that the nutrition of those young people was far from optimum. The subjects comprised 492 students of the 3rd and 4th year of the Białystok Medical University (325 women and 167 men). The dietary questionnaire interview was performed in 1997/1998. The frequency of intake of particular food product groups was analysed. The quantitative assessment was based on the results of the 24-hour dietary recall from the day preceding the interview. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated from body weight and height. It was found that the majority of the Białystok Medical University students had low-calorie diets. Energy content of 81.9% of the women's food rations and 72.4% of the men's food rations was below the recommended standards of energy requirements. Rich-calorie diet was preferred by 18.1% of the young women and 27.6% of the young men, which was reflected in their BMI values. Correct body mass was noted in 53.5% women and 77.2% men. Overweight was observed in 2.8% women and 19.2% men, obesity was found only in 1.8% men. The men preferred rich-protein low-fat and low-carbohydrate meals. The intake of milk and diary products was unsatisfactory. Meat and its products were consumed daily by over 30% women and 60% men. Fish intake was low (more than 70% students had fish only once a week). Bread was the main source of carbohydrates (whole-grain bread in the women, white bread in the men). Fruits were included mainly in the daily diet of the women. Only 57% men ate raw vegetables. High percentage of underweight was found among the female, and of overweight among the male students of the Białystok Medical University. Numerous dietary imperfections referred to energy value of the diet, irregularity of meal intake, improper proportions of the nutrients. Further studies are necessary to explain the causes of these shortcomings.
