This study was performed in order to investigate dietary habits, health related lifestyle and blood cadmium and lead levels in female college students. 80 college students (43 males and 37 females) participated in the survey questionnaires. Body weight and height, blood pressure, and body composition were measured. The systolic blood pressure of male and female students were 128.9 ± 13.9 and 109.8 ± 12.0, respectively. The diastolic blood pressure of male and female students were 77.1 ± 10.3 and 66.0 ± 6.9, respectively, showing that male students had significantly higher blood pressure than female students (P < 0.001). The BMI of male and female students were 23.4 ± 3.3 and 20.2 ± 2.3, respectively. Most male students were in the range of being overweight. The dietary habits score of female students was significantly higher than that of male students (P < 0.01).The blood cadmium level of male and female students were 0.54 ± 0.23 and 0.52 ± 0.36, respectively. There was no significant difference between male and female students. The blood lead level of male and female students were 1.09 ± 0.49 and 0.59 ± 0.45, respectively. The blood lead level of male students was significantly higher than that of female students (P < 0.001). The blood cadmium level of smokers and nonsmokers were 0.69 ± 0.29 and 0.49 ± 0.29 respectively (P < 0.05). The blood cadmium level of smokers was significantly higher than that of nonsmokers (P < 0.05). The blood lead level of smokers and nonsmokers were 1.09 ± 0.43 and 0.80 ± 0.54, respectively. The blood lead level of smokers was significantly higher than that of nonsmokers (P < 0.05). Therefore, proper nutritional education programs are required for college students in order to improve their dietary and health related living habits.
本研究旨在调查女大学生的饮食习惯、与健康相关的生活方式以及血液镉和铅水平。80 名大学生(男 43 名,女 37 名)参与了问卷调查。测量了体重、身高、血压和身体成分。男、女学生的收缩压分别为 128.9 ± 13.9mmHg 和 109.8 ± 12.0mmHg,舒张压分别为 77.1 ± 10.3mmHg 和 66.0 ± 6.9mmHg,表明男学生的血压明显高于女学生(P < 0.001)。男、女学生的 BMI 分别为 23.4 ± 3.3kg/m2 和 20.2 ± 2.3kg/m2,大多数男学生超重。女学生的饮食习惯评分明显高于男学生(P < 0.01)。男、女学生的血液镉水平分别为 0.54 ± 0.23μg/L 和 0.52 ± 0.36μg/L,男、女学生之间无显著差异。男、女学生的血液铅水平分别为 1.09 ± 0.49μg/L 和 0.59 ± 0.45μg/L,男学生的血液铅水平明显高于女学生(P < 0.001)。吸烟者和非吸烟者的血液镉水平分别为 0.69 ± 0.29μg/L 和 0.49 ± 0.29μg/L(P < 0.05)。吸烟者的血液镉水平明显高于非吸烟者(P < 0.05)。吸烟者和非吸烟者的血液铅水平分别为 1.09 ± 0.43μg/L 和 0.80 ± 0.54μg/L,吸烟者的血液铅水平明显高于非吸烟者(P < 0.05)。因此,需要为大学生制定适当的营养教育计划,以改善他们的饮食和健康相关的生活习惯。
