Health literacy relating to everyday eating habits having impact on body composition in students of pedagogical disciplines of the Palacký University in Olomouc

Original language description

Appropriate eating habits create a prerequisite for the prevention of many chronic non-infectious diseases. Formation of health literacy, which includes edification in lifestyle and particularly education in the optimal eating habits, is part of general and profiling disciplines of students of pedagogical disciplines. This strengthens the likelihood of higher health literacy and thus putting into practice good eating habits by the students themselves and above all, by the next generation they will be educating and training in their teaching profession. The aim of our research was to evaluate selected parameters of body composition based on eating habits in 324 female students of pedagogical disciplines of the Pedagogical Faculty of the Palacký University in Olomouc. Based on a questionnaire investigation of eating habits, the monitored students were divided into two groups: Group I (5 meals per day or more), Group II (4 meals per day or less). Multi-frequency bioimpedance analysis was carried out using the InBody 720 device to determine the body composition parameters. Received energy divided into five portions per day (Group I) has optimal impact on the body composition. We can state that a statistically significant lower relative risk of health damage assessed using the amount of body fat (BFM, BFP, BFMI) was demonstrated in Group I women. The relative body fat (BFP) for Group II women exceeded 28% and falls into the overweight category. From the point of view of Fat-free Mass Index (FFMI), both groups of women were placed among individuals with higher muscle development. Positive results of somatic diagnostics based on good eating habits thus may become a tangible basis for motivation of using preventive nutritional measures by future teachers. Secondarily, the results are used within the framework of academic educational reality in disciplines related to the health literacy and health education.
