title: [Nutritional status of the university student population in Galicia].
abstract: In this work we have investigated the dietary habits of 107 university students in Northwest Spain. From the different types of questionnaires that exist, the "24 hours recall" has been elected. Biochemical analysis were carried out in blood and urine to complete the nutritional study. Our results indicate that the distribution of energy intake over the day is generally acceptable though in many cases a bigger breakfast would be advisable. The results of blood and urine analysis were in all cases within the corresponding normal ranges which means that there aren't any evidence of pathological alteration.
