Abstract |
Background. During the last few decades younger individuals tend to consume
snacks and food of high caloric density (consisting mainly of large amounts of cane
sugar, saturated fats, and salt and devoid of nutritional substances) instead of
regular, nutritious meals. Surplus calories and unhealthy food choices contribute to a
growing number of overweight and obese individuals. The aim of this study is to
collect information about dietary habits (particularly consumption and composition of
snacks) of high school and college (medical school) students in the island of Crete.
Methods. Body Mass Index (BMI) and daily caloric consumption was measured in
303 high-school students (133 boys and 170 girls) and 287 college (medical school)
students (119 boys and 168 girls). Number of snacks per day was measured and
ingestion of nutritional substances was calculated with the use of Healthy Eating
Index (HEI).
Results. 34% of high school students and 30% of medical school students were
found to be overweight or obese. The diet of 29% of the high-school and 24% of
medical school students were considered “nutritionally inadequate”. The lower
consumption of fruits and vegetables found in the group with the highest median
intake of snack, with 261 grams for high school students and 239 grams respectively
for medical school students. The percentage of trans fatty acids found twice in both

groups consumed snack (high-school 2.93g and students 2.53g) compared with nonconsumers
(high-school 1.46g and students 1.26g).
Conclusions. There is need among adolescents to become more educated in snack
consumption and overall dietary habits, as it appears to connect with pathological
conditions for health.
