Brunilda Subashi (“Ismail Qemali” University of Vlora, Albania) – “Healthy Eating and Student Self-Perception on Body Mass Index”

Abstract:
A healthy diet is a very important factor in maintaining healthy body weight. Maintaining a healthy weight can help control cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, and can reduce the risk of chronic diseases associated with being overweight, such as heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, and some types of cancer. Purpose: Evaluation of healthy eating habits and behaviors, and self-perception of students' BMI. This is an exploratory study, carried out in April 2021, in a group of students (n = 82), through an online questionnaire, which was distributed through social media. 82 students participated in the study, 78% of whom were in the age group 20-39, while 81% were female. Regarding the healthy eating, it turned out that only 21% of the students believe that they always eat healthily; 43% consume 3 meals a day, and 25% 4 meals; 26% drink water every morning; 30% drink 3-4 glasses of water a day, and 25% drink 5-6 glasses; 66% consume tea, 28% consume 1 and 2 servings of fruit per day, 41% consume 2 servings of vegetables per day, and 30% 1 serving per day, 52% have never followed any type of diet. From the self-perceived BMI, 59% feel that they are of normal weight, and 22% feel that they are overweight. After calculating the BMI, it turned out that in 76% of the cases the self-perception of the BMI of the students corresponded to the real result, and in 24% it did not.
