OBJECTIVE To determine the adherence to the Mediterranean diet (adm) of a university population of future Teachers and analyze various factos that may condition its nutritional quality. METHODS Distribution Kidmed test to a sample of 212 university aged between 21 and 24. The Kidmed index (0-12) indicate whether the ADM was low (0 to 3), medium (4-7) or high (8 to 12). Each respondent was recorded age, weight, height and body mass index, and weekly physical activity. For comparison of the data was used Chi square test, the Mann Whitney test and ANOVA factor using SPSS 15. RESULTS 15.1% had a low Kidmed index, 60.4% intermediate and 24.5% higher. The difference between the different levels of ADM is due to the consumption of fruits and vegetables (p < 0.05) mainly. Among the degrees of ADM and nutritional status (BMI) were not significantly different. The differences between those students who perform physical activity (66%) and no (34%) over the Kidmed index (< 0.05), were due primarily to breakfast consumed more cereals and cereal and pastries least). CONCLUSIONS 75.5% of future Teachers needed improved ADM. In general, enhance a quality breakfast and minimum daily physical activity would be two core aspects in improving habits. It would be appropriate to provide nutritional education campaigns for this population and especially considering their future social role as educators.
