Resumen

Comprender el comportamiento alimentario y la actividad física de los estudiantes universitarios es esencial, ya que estos factores influyen significativamente en su bienestar físico, rendimiento académico y resultados de salud a largo plazo. Este estudio examinó la relación entre la ingesta alimentaria y la actividad física entre estudiantes universitarios de una universidad estatal de Filipinas, considerando los antecedentes familiares como un factor contextual. Se empleó un diseño de investigación cuantitativo, en el que participaron 366 estudiantes seleccionados aleatoriamente de los programas de Gestión Hotelera (n=247), Tecnología de los Alimentos (n=78) y Educación Tecnológica y para la Vida (n=41), quienes completaron un cuestionario validado mediante plataformas en línea, que incluía un Cuestionario de Frecuencia Alimentaria (FFQ) no cuantitativo y preguntas sobre actividad física. Los resultados fueron analizados e indicaron que, aunque muchos estudiantes realizaban actividad física de moderada a vigorosa intensidad, también informaron de un comportamiento sedentario prolongado, con un promedio de cinco horas al día. Los estudiantes que realizaban suficiente actividad física tenían mayor probabilidad de consumir alimentos más saludables (p < 0,05). Sin embargo, las limitaciones económicas contribuían a saltarse comidas y a un bajo consumo de alimentos ricos en nutrientes, como las legumbres y la carne roja. Estos hallazgos ponen de manifiesto la interdependencia entre la actividad física y la alimentación, condicionada por el contexto socioeconómico, y subrayan la necesidad de intervenciones institucionales específicas. Las instituciones de educación superior deberían integrar la educación nutricional, opciones de comidas saludables y asequibles, y actividades físicas estructuradas en la vida universitaria.
