Abstract

Background: Studying the malnutrition-related factors in adolescents and trying to eliminate this problem is one of the important factors in health and in constant development. The aim of this study was evaluating demographic indices respecting dietary intake of the most essential nutrients in female adolescent students.

Material and methods: One hundred and seventy female adolescent high school students were selected randomly, included in a cross-sectional study and completed the demographic questionnaire.

Nutrient intake was evaluated by a qualitative food frequency questionnaire. The gathered data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, ANOVA test and Pearson correlation coefficients.

Results: Weekly consumption frequency of high fat foods was significantly higher in students with unemployed than employed mothers (P=0.026). Weekly consumption frequency of high calorie and low nutrient foods was significantly high in students having possessory house than lessee students (P= 0.029). There was a negative significant association between the number of family members with dairy consumption frequency of high calcium (r= 0. 19, P= 0.013) and high protein (r= 0.241, P=0.002) foods.
