Objective: to study the nutrition of students with different levels of trait anxiety; to identify the relationship between the level of anxiety and disorder eating behavior in students for the development of a package of psychoprophylactic measures to form the stereotypes of healthy nutrition. Subjects and methods. A one-stage study of trait anxietywas conducted in 70 students aged 18—20 years, by using the procedure developed by C.D. Spilberger and Yu.L. Khanin. The investigators identified two groups: A) high anxiety, B) low and moderate anxiety, in which the authors studied eating behavior (EB) according to the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ); body mass index (BMI) (BMI = body weight/height2); and actual nutrition by the computer program «Analysis of Human Nutritional Status», Version 1.2). Results. The high level of trait anxiety was detected in 52.9% of students, most of whom were girls (83.8%). BMI was estimated in Group A and in Group B; that was 20.5 (19.05—21.88) and 21.85 (19.92—25.77), respectively. Disordered EB was found in 95.7% of respondents, the most common type was compulsive EB (64.2%). Several types of disordered EB, such as external, restrictive, and compulsive ones, were recorded in 35.5% of girls with a high level of anxiety versus 6.3% of those with its moderate and low levels; p=0.026). The higher level of trait anxiety was seen in girls, the more often external (r=0.47; p<0.001) and compulsive (r=0.40; p<0.005) types of EB were present. With a high level of anxiety, the risk for developing external and compulsive EB was higher (by 12.4 and 1.5 times, respectively) than with low and moderate levels of anxiety. The diets of students (both boys and girls) were unbalanced and were characterized by its low energy value and an impaired dietary protein/fats/carbohydrate ratio. Those of girls with a high level of trait were distinguished by the lower levels of protein (p=0.003) and vitamin C (p=0.014). The diets of boys with different levels of trait anxiety showed no differences. Conclusion. The high level of trait anxiety in students contributes to the formation of disordered external and compulsive EBs. There is a need to develop a package of psychoprophylactic measures for forming the stereotypes of a balanced diet and to practically implement them in health centers and medical prevention rooms (departments).
