This study investigated the recognition and utilization status of food labeling and nutrition labeling, according to the bodytype recognition of university students. In a total of 351 subjects, the male subjects comprised of 25.8% belonging to theunderweight awareness group, 46.3% normal weight awareness group, and 27.9% overweight awareness students. Amongthe female students, 29.2% belonged to the underweight awareness group, 36.6% were normal body weight, and 34.2%were the overweight group. When purchasing processed foods, the price (4.05 points), expiration date (4.03 points), andgross weight (3.88 points) were the most considered factors of the food labeling content (5 points) for all body shaperecognition groups. The food labeling of canned foods was checked most by the underweight awareness group (p<0.05).
For bread and snacks, the contents of food labeling were confirmed most by the normal weight awareness group and theoverweight awareness group (p<0.001). For beverages, the normal weight awareness group checked more food labels(p<0.01). The underweight awareness group (55.2%) hardly checked the nutritional labeling, and 22.9% of these subjectsdid not check at all. Our results may provide the necessity to improve the incorrect eating habits of students, by evaluatingdifferences between the cognitive body type and the actual body type by BMI.
