Unlabelled:
This paper presents the results of a comparative study between the diets of the students from the University of Valencia and the diets of the students from the School of Pharmacy within Cluj-Napoca "I. Haţieganu" University of Medicine and Pharmacy.
Material And Methods:
The study focused on the analysis of Body Mass Index (BMI) of the students from the two universities, on the assessment of the calorie and nutrients intake per sexes, on the determination of the calorie and nutrient distribution per main courses and snacks, on the determination of the consumption per foodstuff groups at the main courses and snacks. All these parameters have been analysed and interpreted in a unitary form and according to the Spanish standards.
Results:
No significant differences have been noticed between Spanish and Romanian students regarding the BMI. The food intake was adequate, but in case of Romanian students the timetable for meals is irregular and in the menu structure potatoes and bread are present in large amount.
Conclusions:
Additional nutritional education is required in order to eliminate the errors and miss-conception related with the food intake.
