Abstract

Objective: To identify the factors that lead to a deterioration in the nutritional status of the students of the Nursing Degree. Material and Method: A non-experimental, cross-sectional study was conducted, the sample was 30 students of the nursing degree. Results: Despite the factors that contribute to poor diet due to the short time that our population has, only 10% are obese, while 33.3% tend to be overweight with a small difference in normal status, which we indicates that most of them are appropriate to their weight and height that corresponds to them with a percentage of 56.7%. Conclusion: When carrying out our research we can conclude that the students of 7th and 8th of the Nursing Degree of the UAEH, our population showed normal levels in their nutritional status which indicates that at the beginning of the Degree their weight is within of the parameters established according to the Secretary of Health and during their academic training students show a minimum variation of initial weight to the current one, resulting in 60% of the students surveyed have a body mass index within the appropriate limits to Your weight, size and age. The nutritional level of the surveyed students makes us mention that 60% have a regular diet because the students consume their food inside and outside the Institute which lead them to nutritional deterioration due to the low intake of nutrients and food healthy adding the lack of recurring physical activity due to excessive work and lack of time
