Abstract

Kvaliteta prehrane pojedinca izravno utječe na sastav tijela, odnosno udio mišićnog, masnog te visceralnog masnog tkiva, pri čemu povećane vrijednosti navedenih parametara upućuju na rizik pojave raznih kroničnih nezaraznih bolesti, poput kardiovaskularnih bolesti i dijabetesa tipa 2, kasnije u životu. U ovom istraživanju sudjelovalo je 38 studenata Sveučilišta u Zagrebu s četiri različite sastavnice društveno-humanističkog, kineziološkog i biotehničkog područja, a podaci su prikupljani od svibnja do rujna 2024. godine. Životne i prehrambene navike ispitane su kratkim upitnikom. Određivani su antropometrijski te dijetetički parametri (trodnevni dnevnik prehrane i mediteranski indeks kakvoće prehrane), kao i mišićna snaga dvama mjernim instrumentima, Camry EH101 i Jamar. Rezultati su pokazali da studentska populacija u cijelosti ima lošu kvalitetu prehrane pri čemu studenti biotehničkog područja imaju nešto bolju u odnosu na ostale. Također, utvrđeno je da su oba korištena mjerna instrumenta prikladna za precizno mjerenje snage stiska šake u ovoj populaciji.

Abstract (english)

The quality of the overall diet directly affects the body composition, i.e. the proportion of muscle, fat and visceral fat tissue in the body. Elevated levels of these parameters increase the risk of various chronic, non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes later in life. This study involved 38 students from the University of Zagreb from four different fields of social humanities, kinesiology and biotechnology. The data was collected from May to September 2024. Lifestyle and dietary habits were analysed using a short questionnaire. Anthropometric and dietary parameters (threeday food diary and Mediterranean Diet Quality Index) were determined, as well as muscle strength with two measuring devices, the Camry EH101 and the Jamar. The results showed that the student population had a poor diet quality, with the students from the biotechnical field having slightly better diet quality compared to the others. It was also found that both measuring devices were suitable for the accurate measurement of hand grip strength in this population.
