This study aimed to investigate associations of consumption pattern of convenience food with related factors among college students. A total of 583 college students (211 males and 372 females) residing in Chungbuk participated in a questionnaire survey in December 2019. Female students reported that they spent more time using smartphone (p<0.001) and had higher smartphone dependency (p<0.01) than male students. As for the time to use convenience food, significantly higher (20.9%) of male students used it for late night snacks and 55.4% of female students used it for lunch (p<0.001). More than 30% of subjects were ‘Not nutritious’ about the concern of convenience food, showing no significant difference between males and females. Male students had higher consumption frequencies of ramyeon (p<0.05), fast food (p<0.01), water (p<0.001), lunch box (p<0.001), instant Guk/Tang (p<0.05), hamburger/sandwich (p<0.05), salad (p<0.05), and raw food (p<0.05). Female students had a higher consumption frequency of sweet and greasy baked products compared to male students (p<0.001). When the night snack and smartphone use level increased, the intake of convenience food also increased in both groups. For female students, the check of nutrition labeling had a significant negative correlation with convenience food consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to provide gender-specific nutritional education and desirable dietary guidance for college students in early adulthood.
