Whatnall MC, et al. - Researchers conducted a cross-sectional study to characterize the correlation between dietary intake and academic achievement in a sample of 278 Australian university students. Using linear regression with adjustment for socio-demographic and student characteristics, the connection between grade point average (GPA) and dietary intake was examined. Findings suggested an association of higher GPA with higher diet quality (ARFS), higher sub-scale scores for vegetables and fruit, and with lower percentage energy per day from energy-dense nutrient poor (EDNP) foods overall and also from sweetened drinks. They also noted small associations between a healthier diet and higher academic achievement and vice versa. Since these associations were small, they may not be especially meaningful. This evidence could, however, be used as a motivator for efforts to improve dietary intake among university students.
