Consumption of Dietary Fats and Anti-Oxidant Vitamins among College Students in Cheongju City

  The purpose of this study was to investigate consumption of dietary fats and anti-oxidant vitamins, related nutrition knowledge and associated factors among college students attending the Chungbuk National University. The questionnaires were distributed to 167 male and 187 female students for three days from September 24<SUP>th</SUP> to 26<SUP>th</SUP>, 2004. The collected data were analyzed using SAS and statistics used were percent of frequency, χ² test, t-test, ANOVA, and pearson"s correlation coefficient. Health related habits were as follows: the smoking rate of subjects was 17.2%, the frequency of drinking was 2~3 times a week and the rate of students who drink about once a week was more than 20%. Regarding physical exercise, 12.7% of the students responded that they exercised regularly. It revealed that the exercise quantity of the students was insufficient. The average calorie intake of the subjects was 1,633㎉/day, which is 73.0% of recommended level. The energy ratio of carbohydrate: protein: fat from daily foods was 60:14:26, which means fat intake is much higher than recommended level(20%). The average fat intake for male and female students was 48.4g/day and 44.3g/day respectively. The consumption of antioxdiant vitamin A(%RDA) for male and female students was 504.5 ㎍(71.2%), and 503.㎍(72.4%) respectively, and vitamin E intake for male and female students was 0.7㎎(98.9%) and 52.7㎎(72.2%), respectively. Ice-cream, pork(Sam Kyup Sal) and cookies were the major foods contributing to fat intake, and powdered red pepper, carrot, to vitamin A intake, and soy-bean oil, bread, pastry, to vitamin E intake, and powdered red pepper, carrot, mallow, to vitamin C intake. The mean score of related nutrition knowledge for male and female students was 7.3/10 and 8.0/10, respectively. Consumption of fat intake showed positive correlation with vitamin A and E intake in female students. In associated factors, male students who exercise regularly consumed carotene containing foods more than the other male students did. Female students who live in boardinghouse consumed vitamin E containg foods more than the other female students did. In conclusion, the status of antioxidant vitamin intake of college students was not enough, therefore nutrition education for them should be required.
