素食越来越受欢迎，尤其是在青少年和年轻人中。这些饮食似乎是健康和平衡的，但这些建议在潜在的营养不足方面存在争议。目的：确定使用素食的频率和类型，他们的动机和信息来源。患者与方法：对智利天主教大学（PUC）新生进行横断面分析研究。通过一项在线调查，我们收集了那些认为自己是素食者的人口统计信息和饮食特征。采用IDM SPSS Statistics (R)软件和Excel (R)电子表格对变量进行定量分析。结果：152名学生回答了调查（占样本的15.2%），其中49.4%是素食者。32.4%的人在12岁至18岁之间开始这种饮食模式，他们最常见的动机是环保主义者（91.9%）和动物主义者（72.9%）。52.9%的素食者服用维生素b12补充剂，但只有15.9%的人报告缺乏维生素b12。75.7%的人通过数字媒体获取素食相关信息。结论：在回答的调查中，我们发现素食学生的比例很高，因此，卫生专业人员需要在这方面进行培训，以确保充分的营养教育，必要时补充，并进行随访。
There has been an increase in the popularity of vegetarian diets, especially among adolescents and young adults. These diets seem to be healthy and balanced, but the recommendations are controversial regarding potential nutritional deficits. Objective: To identify the frequency and types of vegetarian diet used, their motivation, and sources of information. Patients and Method: Cross-sectional analytical study in freshmen students from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile (PUC). Through an online survey, we collected demographic information and diet characterization of those who considered themselves as vegetarians. Variables were analyzed using IDM SPSS Statistics (R) software and in Excel (R) spreadsheet in a quantitative way. Results: 152 students answered the survey (15.2% of the sample) and, out of these, 49.4% were vegetarian. 32.4% started this eating pattern between the ages 12 and 18 and among their most frequent motivations were environmentalists (91.9%) and animalists (72.9%). 52.9% of vegetarians take vitamin B 12 supplementation but only 15.9% reported having this deficiency. 75.7% obtain information related to vegetarian diets through digital media. Conclusion: In the surveys answered, we found a high percentage of vegetarian students, therefore, health professionals need to be trained in this area to assure adequate nutritional education, supplementation if necessary, and follow-up.
