To assess dietary and lifestyle practices of pharmacy and medical students in California and investigate whether they adhered to behaviors consistent with current dietary and exercise guidelines. The Block Brief 2000 Food Frequency Questionnaire and a supplemental survey assessing demographics, exercise, and dietary behaviors were administered to students across 10 California pharmacy and medical schools. While the majority of students consumed sodium <2300 mg/day (73%) and dietary cholesterol <300 mg/day (84%), only 50% had a saturated fat intake ≤10% total kcal, 13% met fiber intake goals, 10% consumed ≥8 servings/day of fruit and vegetables, and 41% exercised ≥150 minutes/week. The largest barrier to consuming a healthful diet was lack of time. A high proportion of pharmacy and medical students in California did not meet many of the dietary and physical activity recommendations. Health care programs may benefit from implementing nutrition and lifestyle education in their curriculum.
评估加利福尼亚州药学和医学专业学生的饮食和生活方式实践，并调查他们是否遵循符合当前饮食和锻炼指南的行为。对 10 所加利福尼亚药学和医学院的学生使用 Block Brief 2000 食物频率问卷和补充调查评估人口统计学、锻炼和饮食行为。虽然大多数学生的钠摄入量<2300 毫克/天（73%），胆固醇摄入量<300 毫克/天（84%），但只有 50%的人饱和脂肪摄入量≤总卡路里的 10%，13%达到纤维摄入目标，10%每天食用≥8 份水果和蔬菜，41%每周锻炼≥150 分钟。饮食健康的最大障碍是缺乏时间。加利福尼亚州的许多药学和医学专业学生都没有达到许多饮食和身体活动建议的要求。医疗保健计划可能受益于在课程中实施营养和生活方式教育。
