Abstract

Objetivo: Determinar y comparar la calidad de vida, estado nutricional y auto percepción de imagen corporal entre estudiantes de Nutrición y Dietética (ND) con otras carreras (OC) de la Universidad Santo Tomas (UST), Sede Viña del Mar. Métodos: Se evaluaron 200 estudiantes voluntarios (100 ND y 100 OC) aplicándoles: una encuesta de calidad de vida, evaluación nutricional y encuesta de autopercepción de imagen corporal. Resultados: El grupo ND presentó menor percepción de su calidad de vida, consumo de tabaco y sedentarismo. Mujeres ND presentaron menor IMC y circunferencia de cintura (CC) y hombres ND presentaron menor CC (p < 0,05). El grupo ND presentó un mayor consumo de leche, pollo (p < 0,05) y pescado (0,01), ambos grupos presentaron un elevado consumo de alcohol. La concordancia diagnóstica entre IMC y la imagen corporal es baja, 34% en ND y 38% en OC (Kappa 0,04 y 0,02) respectivamente. Conclusión: Con respecto a la percepción de calidad de vida es mejor en estudiantes de OC, sin embargo los estudiantes de ND presentaron mejor estado nutricional y selección de alimentos.<br>Objective: To determine and compare the quality of life, nutritional status, and self-perceived body image between nutrition students and students from other careers from the University Santo Tomás-Viña del Mar. Methods: We evaluated 200 student volunteers (100 nutrition students and 100 students from other careers) with a quality of life survey, a nutritional evaluation, and a survey of body image perception. Results: The group of nutritional students perceived a lower quality of life, consumed less tobacco, and was less sedentary. Women of the nutritional group had a lower BMI and showed a lower hip circumference. Men of the nutritional group also showed a lower hip circumference. The nutritional group consumed more milk, chicken, and fish in their diet. Both groups presented an elevated consumption of alcohol. The concordance between BMI and body image was low, 34% in the nutritional group and 38% in the other careers group (Kappa 0.04 and 0.02). Conclusion: With respect to perception of quality of life, students from other careers perceived a better quality of life, however students from the nutritional group presented better nutritional status and selection of food.
