• Resumen

  • Objective: The objective of this study was to determine and describe the presence of institutional food deserts based on access to healthy food via a level of adherence to a Mediterranean diet in higher education Metropolitan Area institutions in Valle de Aburrá, Colombia.

    Materials and methods: The Food Deserts Survey -EDA and the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Test -KIDMED was administered to 419 university students.

    Results and Discussion: Results evidenced that participants had an average adherence (58.5%) to a Mediterranean diet, indicating that university students need to improve their dietary pattern to adapt it to a Mediterranean model.

    Regarding the EDA, most reported that the food they consumed was nutritious (69.0%), fresh (77.3%) and healthy (61.3%). They stated they usually ate breakfast (74.7%), lunch (44.2%) and dinner (85.0%) at home during the week, and usually bought and consumed food in supermarkets and traditional stores (73.3%).

    Conclusion: The study concluded that regardless of gender, participants need to improve their dietary pattern to adapt it to a Mediterranean model, which could indicate a hidden presence of food deserts.
