Since the last decades, socio-economic changes have a key role on eating habits affecting the nutritional status and health of people, in particular children and adolescents. The aim of this study was to compare the diet of student population both normal weight and overweight and obese in order to understand their eating habits by comparing the different diets of the student referring to the Mediterranean diet. The study comprised 337 Sicilian students aged 9 to 13 years, 96 in primary schools and 241 in secondary schools, respectively, in three Sicilian cities namely, Messina, San Piero Patti and Ragusa. The variables studied were height, weight, body mass index (BMI) and adherence to the Mediterranean Adequacy Index (MAI) diet quality indicator. Interestingly, the results highlighted 2.67 MAI mean value for normal weight students while 1.27 MAI mean value indicating a decreased adherence to the Mediterranean diet in overweight students.
在过去几十年里，社会经济变化对饮食习惯起着关键作用，影响着人们，尤其是儿童和青少年的营养状况与健康。本研究的目的是比较正常体重以及超重和肥胖学生群体的饮食，通过参照地中海饮食比较学生的不同饮食来了解他们的饮食习惯。该研究涵盖了337名年龄在9至13岁的西西里学生，其中分别有96名来自小学，241名来自中学，来自西西里的三个城市，即墨西拿、圣皮耶罗帕蒂和拉古萨。所研究的变量包括身高、体重、体重指数（BMI）以及对地中海充足指数（MAI）饮食质量指标的依从性。有趣的是，结果显示正常体重学生的MAI平均值为2.67，而超重学生的MAI平均值为1.27，表明他们对地中海饮食的依从性降低。
