“…This is considerably lower compared with the reported prevalence among the general Chinese population 22. The prevalence of overweight in the current study was also lower compared with other reports of college students in the USA23 and in European countries such as Greece 24. Consistent with other research,2 4 the male students in our study had significantly higher mean BMI than the female students, although the values were considerably lower compared with American college students,2 but higher than that in Thai college students 4.…”

“…Conclusão essa que pode ser corroborada através do histórico de construção da Política de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional discutida à luz da intersetorialidade no governo, que traz o desafio e a centralidade dos distintos mecanismos, instrumentos e processos institucionais para a confluência e promoção dessas ações (26,39) . No que tange às ferramentas utilizadas, a maioria dos estudos analisados usaram a internet (através de computadores e/ou dispositivos mobiles) como artifício principal ou auxiliar para envolver os alunos nas ações (31,39,(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48) . Esse padrão de estratégia se tornou interessante e alcançou resultados positivos, uma vez que a população universitária, compreendida em sua maioria por jovens adultos entre 18 e 24 anos, possui grande afinidade com tecnologias, bem como, declara ser positivo poder acessar o conteúdo disponibilizado e ter interatividade em qualquer local e horário, sem a necessidade de adaptação de rotina para isso (44) .…”

“…Faz-se necessário discutir, para além das ferramentas e recursos, a abordagem de ensino utilizada nas estratégias, muitas apenas com transferência de informação e com falta de um constructo teórico bem estabelecido (33,34,36,(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)45) .

“…23,24 Neuenschwander and coworkers 23 demonstrated that Webbased nutrition education can lead to favorable and equivalent nutritionrelated changes when compared with in-person delivery in low-income populations. Harvey-Berino and colleagues 24 found that undergraduate students who volunteered or elected to enroll in a one-credit online behavioral weight management class had higher than usually reported attendance and lower dropout rates than other behavioral weight loss programs targeting that age group. Participants attributed many positive behavior changes to the program, similar to what others have observed.…”
