Objective To identify and describe eating habits of students from three universities in Bogota and factors influencing their adoption.
Three focus groups were formed with an average attendance of 12 students from different undergraduate programs, between the ages of 18 and 25. The content of the accounts was analyzed and categorized according to the factors influencing the selection of food and eating habits. Results Students identified sensory and hygiene factors, the cost of food, the availability of food and available time to eat as the main factors influencing food selection. We also identified the influence of friends and family, among others, in their choices. Students who participated reported to prefer food from home, eating most of their meals at home and having eating schedules influenced by academic activities. Conclusion Although students have knowledge about what is good for them in terms of food, in university life, the organization of academic schedule, food availability and economic resources show significant influence on their habits and choices. Strategies to promote healthy habits in universities should then prioritize the control of such barriers.
目的 识别并描述波哥大三所大学学生的饮食习惯及其养成的影响因素。
组建了三个焦点小组，平均每组有12名来自不同本科专业、年龄在18至25岁之间的学生。根据影响食物选择和饮食习惯的因素，对记录内容进行分析和分类。结果 学生们认为感官和卫生因素、食物成本、食物供应情况以及用餐时间是影响食物选择的主要因素。我们还发现朋友和家人等对他们的选择也有影响。参与调查的学生表示更喜欢家里做的食物，大部分餐食都在家中食用，并且用餐时间受学术活动影响。结论 尽管学生们了解食物方面对自身有益的知识，但在大学生活中，学术日程安排、食物供应和经济资源对他们的习惯和选择有显著影响。因此，在大学中促进健康饮食习惯的策略应优先控制这些障碍。
