The main factors for establishing nutritional culture are the national traditions, family taste preferences and finances. After graduating from high school, some girls continue their education. Often, they have to break away from the home environment and change completely or partially their lifestyle and nutritional regime. The purpose of the research is to establish the nutritional habits of the female students aged 18 to 25 who do not live with their family. Materials and Methods: For the purpose of the survey, an inquiry card was made. An anonymous survey was conducted with 70 female students aged 18-25 who do not live with their families. The survey data were processed with mathematical and graphical methods-Microsoft Office Excel 2003.ink. Results: The study found out a negative trend: 60% of the female students eat twice a day, consuming mainly confectionery and carbonated beverages between both of the meals. A major source of information about healthy nutrition for students is Internet, but most of the young women get the necessary information from school/university. The highest number of students indicates that they partially respect the principles of healthy nutrition.The female students identify as the most harmful food sugar products and fried food, fruit and vegetables as the most useful types of food. Most of the students eat at home, as most often they buy takeaway. Conclusions: The study found out that students are aware of the basic principles of healthy nutrition, but relatively high number does not follow them. It is a positive fact that the main source of the necessary information besides Internet is school and / or university. Despite not following all the principles of healthy nutrition, most of the students have a proper nutritional pattern and have a critical attitude towards their own diet regime.

“…We used one of the two most recent measurements before self-reported FM or the end of follow-up, whichever came first. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared and categorized as underweight (< 18.5 kg/m 2 ), normal weight (BMI 18.5–24.9 kg/m 2 ), overweight (BMI 25–29.9 kg/m 2 ), and obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m 2 ) [ 31 – 34 ]. Physical activity (PA) level was measured on a validated 10-point ordinal scale [ 28 ] and categorized as 1–2 very low; 3–4 low; 5–6 moderate; 7–8 high; 9–10 very high.…”

Background Socioeconomic status as measured by education, income, or occupation, has been associated with fibromyalgia but the underlying mechanism and the role of lifestyle factors are unclear. Thus, we examine the role of modifiable lifestyle factors (body mass index, physical activity, alcohol consumption and smoking) in the association between education and self-reported fibromyalgia. Methods We used data from 74,157 participants in the population-based prospective Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) study. Socioeconomic position, operationalized as years of educational attainment, and lifestyle factors were assessed via self-reported questionnaires. Multiple mediation analysis was used to decompose total effects into direct and indirect effects. Estimates were reported as hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results The cumulative incidence of fibromyalgia was 3.2% after a median follow up time of 13 years. Fibromyalgia was inversely associated with years of educational attainment for ≤ 9 years (HR = 2.56; 95% CI 2.32–2.91) and for 10–12 years (HR = 1.84; 95% CI 1.72–2.02), compared with ≥ 13 years of education. Overall, all lifestyle factors together jointly mediated 17.3% (95% CI 14.3–21.6) and 14.1% (95% CI 11.3–18.9) of the total effect for ≤ 9 years and 10–12 years of education, respectively. Smoking and alcohol consumption contributed the most to the proportion mediated, for ≤ 9 years (5.0% and 7.0%) and 10–12 years (5.6% and 4.5%) of education. Conclusion The association between education and self-reported fibromyalgia was partly explained through lifestyle factors, mainly smoking and alcohol consumption.

“…Bread is a staple food in Norway, accounting for 21% of energy intake [ 21 , 22 , 23 ], and bread is the most important source of whole grains in Norway [ 24 , 25 ]. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between whole-grain bread consumption and CRC incidence among Norwegian women.…”

There is evidence that consumption of foods containing dietary fiber decreases the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Whole grains contain dietary fiber, as well as a range of micronutrients and bioactive compounds, but the association between the consumption of whole grains and the risk of CRC remains less studied. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between whole-grain bread consumption and CRC incidence among Norwegian women, using data from a prospective cohort study (the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study). Dietary intake was estimated from the food-frequency questionnaires of 78,254 women in the cohort (median age: 55 years), and these women were then followed up for CRC incidence. During the 9 years of median follow-up, 795 women were diagnosed with CRC (316 proximal, 193 distal, 218 rectal). Associations between whole-grain bread consumption and the risk of CRC (including colorectal subsites) were investigated using Cox proportional hazards regression models. When compared to the low consumption group, the hazard ratio for CRC was 0.89 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.72–1.09) for the high consumption group and 0.86 (95% CI: 0.72–1.02) for the medium consumption group in a multivariable model. Overall, no association between whole-grain bread consumption and CRC was found.
