Objective: To investigate anxiety levels and dietary consumption markers among students of FACISA-UFRN. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with undergraduate students in nursing, physical therapy, nutrition, and psychology courses, using the Trait Anxiety Inventory (IDATE-T) and the dietary consumption markers form (version 3.0). Results and Discussion: Seventy-three students participated, the majority being female (76.7%). Psychology students showed higher trait anxiety scores, lower consumption of fiber-rich foods (beans, fruits, and vegetables), and higher consumption of ultra-processed foods. Most nutrition students consumed ultra-processed foods but also consumed fiber-rich foods and other important nutrients. Conclusion: Disordered eating patterns may be associated with higher levels of anxiety, and such episodes may lead to poor food choices, resulting in the occurrence of non-communicable chronic diseases, such as obesity.Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/br/AnsiedadeUniversitáriosConsumo alimentarbachelorThesis
