This study was designed to compare the dietary habits of women¡¯s university students according to residence type. The subjects were 140 females divided into four groups. The first group consisted of students residing at home with their parents (home, n=39), the second group consisted of students residing in a dormitory (dormitory, n=34), the third group consisted of students residing in a boarding house (boarding, n=36), and the fourth group consisted of self-boarding students (self-boarding, n=31). The average age was 21.9 years, and the BMI levels of the groups were 20.8 kg/m2, 19.6 kg/m2, 20.5 kg/m2, and 19.7 kg/m2, respectively. The ¡®home¡¯ group had higher dietary regularity than the other groups (P£¼0.05). The boarding group and self-boarding group were more likely to eat out and skip breakfast than the home and dormitory groups (P£¼0.05). All groups indicated that frequency of snacking was higher than 1 time per day, but there was no significant difference between the groups. The dormitory and boarding groups spent less time consuming meals than the other groups. In conclusion, women¡¯s university students show different dietary behaviors according to residence type. Especially, the dormitory, boarding, and self-boarding groups need to improve their dietary habits through high quality education and nutritional support at college cafeterias.
