Abstract(s)

In 2021 non-communicable diseases caused 90% of deaths and 85% of comorbidities in the European region of the World Health Organization. An unbalanced diet is one of the behavioral factors associated with mortality from non-communicable diseases. In Portugal 53.6% of adults are overweight or obese. Often the transition to university is associated with students leaving their parents' home, so there is often a change in the eating pattern of young adults. : To verify whether attending the last year of a degree course in the health area can be a factor promoting a complete, balanced and varied diet.
