Sažetak
Nutritional knowledge is one of the factors that affect the nutritional habits of individuals, families and communities. The aim of this study was to determine the nutritional habits of Osijek university students and their knowledge about the influence of the nutrition on human health. A cross-sectional questionnaire study included 412 graduate students, median age 23.0 years, 78.9% females and 21.1% males, and was conducted through an online anonymous questionnaire during May and June 2019. Study revealed that only 56.3% of students eat breakfast each day and only 48.5% of them consume fruit and vegetables each day. It was established that females more frequently eat breakfast each day (p=0.040) and more frequently consume fruit and vegetables each day (p=0.020). Considering the knowledge about the influence of the nutrition on human health it was established that students from the faculties that belong to the biomedicine and biotechnical fields of science had showed significantly better knowledge about the influence of the nutrition on human health in comparison to the students from the faculties that belong to other scientific fields (p=0.010). Additional education is needed in order to improve nutritional habits and thus also the general health of the studied population.
