Introduction  Dietary evaluation is an important part of general evaluation, but it is time consuming and subjective.  24hr recall questionnaire is a recognized method for dietary assessment.  Medical students are supposed to have healthy eating habits. 2

Objective  To assess and compare the eating habits of the medical students from the first and the fourth year General Medicine from UMPh Tg. Mures. 3

Material and method  The type of study - cross-sectional  Target population - medical students  Sample - 91 students divided in two groups from the first (46 subjects) and fourth year (45 subjects) of General Medicine at UMPh Tg. Mures  Method - 24hr recall questionnaire  Statistical analysis - Microsoft Office Excel, GraphPad InStat  Macronutrient composition and the count of the calories - Foodtracker (Supertracker.usda.com) 4

Material and method  Variables analysed :  age  sex  environment  study year  body mass index  waist  macronutrients: protein, carbohydrate, fat, fiber  empty calories  recommended caloric intake  number of meals  location of meals  physical activity frequency 5

Results 6 11 p=NS

Results 7 12 p=0.03 for girls in 1 st year

Results 8 13 p=NS

Results 9 14

Discussions  Our results are similar to other studies in Sweden and Greece (1,2)  Medical students have similar diet habits with the general population.  Even small caloric excess can lead to increased weight.

Conclusions  Medical students tend to consume high amounts of empty calories, have an imbalanced diet and do not exercise.  The 24hr recall is a useful tool for evaluating personal diet and allows tailored recommendations.  More emphasis should be put on nutritional education among medical students. 16
