Resumen

A sedentary lifestyle is associated with decreased insulin sensitivity and accumulation of visceral adipose tissue. Which combined with poor eating habits, explain the overall increase in overweight and obesity. In Chile overweight it affects 64.4% and 88.6% sedentary population. The objective was to determine the levels of sedentarism in Nutrition and Dietetics students's and evaluate whether there is an association with eating habits. 607 students from Nutrition and Dietetics were evaluated by applying an anthropometric weight and height assessment, a food assessment survey and a physical activity survey.Results: The percentage of sedentary women was significantly higher than in men (74.3% v/s 40.5%), also women who never eat dinner nearly twice the percentage observed in men. Finally, students who performed some type of physical activity had a significantly higher percentage in the frequency of consumption of breakfast and dinner, with respect to sedentary students. Determining an association between physical activity and eating behaviour (-2= 10, 56; p=0.001). This study determined that young sedentary individuals had a worse eating habits than those who performed some type of physical activity. Our results suggest that perform some type of physical activity is associated with better eating pattern.
