Health risk behaviour contributes markedly to today's major killers. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to assess current awareness and practice of health risk behaviour among Egyptian university students. Only 121 students (18%) were practising risky behaviour. Tobacco use, alcohol and drugs use and risky sexual behaviour were positively correlated. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the main determinants of risky behaviour were being a male, of older age, having a high allowance and having no attention to danger. About 30% of students lacked adequate knowledge on AIDS. Most of those who had sexual relationships did not use contraceptives or any method of protection from sexually transmitted infection. Main sources of knowledge were the media (38%) then peers (30%).
健康风险行为是导致当今主要死因的重要因素。开展了一项描述性横断面研究，以评估埃及大学生对健康风险行为的当前认知及实践情况。仅有121名学生（18%）存在危险行为。吸烟、酗酒、吸毒及危险性行为呈正相关。多元回归分析显示，危险行为的主要决定因素为男性、年龄较大、零花钱较多且对危险不关注。约30%的学生缺乏足够的艾滋病知识。大多数有性行为的学生未使用避孕药具或任何预防性传播感染的保护措施。知识的主要来源是媒体（38%），其次是同龄人（30%）。
