Abstract

AIM: The purpose of this work is to find out the quality of nutrition and its effects on the health of university students. Material and methods: 350 students were interviewed. A questionnaire, which contains 29 questions and is aimed at studying the quality of students’ nutrition, was created by authors. Results: It was discovered that the students follow the diet foods 3-4 times a day which is 29.62%, consume dry foods 33%, fish and seafood only one time a day which is 28.05%, and consume dairy products 33%. 65.72% of students only consume fresh fruits once a day, and 17.02% of students regularly eat sweets for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Wheat and rice are the two main cereals that students consume (55.42% of them). Only 42.87% of the vitamin B complex, 26.66 % of vitamin C, and 14.06% of vitamin D, according to the study, contributed to vitamin deficiencies in students. 77% of students reported being fatigued, and 13.7% of students reported having mental health issues. Conclusions: It was determined that the majority of students had a poor quality diet during their studies: the diet was irrational, incomplete, and not varied. This does not promote a healthy lifestyle for modern students and can negatively affect the effectiveness of their future professional activities.
