Results: Higher processed meat consumption in colleges students in men (p=0.0139), low socioeconomic status (p=0.0457) and public universities (p=0.0311) was found. Conclusions: Processed meat consumption in college students is high, especially in men, so it is necessary to implement educational programs on healthy eating habits.
