Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the association of within-day drinking occasions with average amount consumed per drinking occasion during spring among college students in Hebei Province and to provide the basic data for the revision of quantity of consumption among Chinese residents.
Methods:A total of 156 college students in Hebei Province were selected by using simple random sampling method. Information on daily amount and types of water consumption was recorded using the 7-day 24-hour recording method. The daily amount and type of drinking water by sex and BMI were analyzed and compared.
Results:The daily median drinking water intake was 1 135 mL; the daily median number of drinking occasion was 6, with 34.6% of participants less than 6 drinking occasions; the median amount consumed per drinking occasion was 177 mL. The daily number of water and plain water drinking occasion of females were higher than males(χ2/Z=8.34, -2.03, P<0.05); the amount consumed per drinking occasion, the amount of plain water and beverages consumed per drinking occasion of males were higher than females(χ2/Z=23.86, -5.48, 3.70, P<0.01); The differences of the amount of plain water consumed per day among students and their BMI were of statistical significance(χ2=9.17, P=0.03), the amount of drinking water each time was positively correlated with body surface area(r=0.18, P=0.03), and frequency of drinking water was positively correlated with the amount of drinking water, negatively correlated with the amount of drinking water each time. The amount of drinking water was positively correlated with the amount of drinking water each time(r=0.30, -0.47, 0.61, P<0.01).
Conclusion:There is a certain proportion of unhealthy drinking behavior among college students; drinking behavior is different by sex and BMI. With the increase of drinking occasions, the amount consumed in each drinking occasion decreases, but total amount of drinking water increases.
