Abstract

Our study has the quantitative non-experimental focus of the transversal with a correctional reach. The statistics test that we used was the square-chi; the investigation technique that we use was the direct interview with the young subjects and the instruments that we used were the food consumption survey and nutritional sheet, moreover, we used the bio impedance electrical method to obtain the following data: weight, corporal water, BMI, free of fat mass, percentage of fat mass, skeleton body mass, proteins, minerals ICC and metabolic rates. The results according to their BMI reflect that the majority of the population of the study are on the adequate nutritional status according to the percentage of fat and skeleton muscle mass, it describes that the feminine group has a higher percentage of fat on contrast with the male group who possess a higher percentage of skeleton muscle mass. The feeding habits according to the frequency of consumption reflected that most of the foods groups are dairy products, cereals and derivatives. Also, fruits, meats and oils. We therefore conclude that there is a relation between the eaten foods and the corporal composition in which the p value is less than 0.5 and there is no evidence to reject the relation between both variables.
