Description
Objective. This study examined the association between commuting time and/or distance and body mass index (BMI), and dietary and exercise behaviors in college students. Methods. Behaviors were assessed using self-report, dietary screeners, and an exercise questionnaire in 400 college students ages 18--35 taking classes on a commuter campus. BMI was determined through measurement of height and weight. Results. Pearson correlations revealed no relationship between commuting time and/or distance and BMI, and dietary and exercise behaviors. However, total meals eaten out the week prior and number of meals obtained from any away-from-home food vendors was related to total, saturated, and percent fat in the diet, as well as cholesterol. Conclusion. Commuting distance nor time were related to BMI, dietary or exercise behaviors. Regardless of commuting behaviors, better dietary behaviors should be recommended among college students.
