Sažetak
University students are a significant sector of the early adult population, so their health-related activities are of particular interest. The aim of this study was to determine differences in diet quality by estimating average nutrient intakes between two groups of students according to physical activity. The quantified food frequency questionnaire was used. Subjects were female students from two faculties: Faculty of Food Technology and Biotechnology (FFTB) (n=80) and Faculty of Kinesiology (FK) (n=51). In this study students of FK participated in sports activities, while FFTB students were not physically active. Students of FK had statistically significantly (p<0.05) higher intake of energy (2967.8 kcal vs 2490.9 kcal), protein (119.6 g vs 102.9 g), carbohydrate (387.2 g vs 318.0 g), SFA (39.6 g vs 33.5 g), MUFA (39.6 g vs 33.8 g), iron (16.9 mg vs 14.4 mg), magnesium (429.2 mg vs 372.2 mg), phosphorus (1983.1 mg vs 1692.7 mg), potassium (4468.0 mg vs 3832.9 mg), thiamin (2.6 mg vs 2.2 mg), niacin (34.7 mg vs 29.0 mg), vitamin B6 (3.0 mg vs 2.6 mg) and folate (406.9 &#181; g vs 335.3 &#181; g) than students from FFTB. Energy shares of macronutrients were not significantly different among the groups and were in accordance with recommendation. Iron, potassium and vitamin E intake in both groups and folate intake in FFTB students were below DRI. Cholesterol intake was higher than 300 mg in both groups. There were no significant differences in average body height, body weight and BMI between two groups. However, students from FK had significantly lower percent of fat tissue (26.9 % vs 34.4 %). Sedentary individuals generally consumed smaller amounts of foods and nutrients than did those who were more active, what we also determined in this study.
