No study has comprehensively assessed the health behaviors of intercollegiate athletes. To determine whether they may be at increased risk for unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, we compared the lifestyle and health risk behaviors of a group of college athletes with those of their nonathletic peers.
A confidential survey questionnaire addressing preventable lifestyle behaviors was given to 109 intercollegiate athletes and 110 nonathlete controls.
Athletes had a significantly (P less than .05) higher proportion of "risky" lifestyle behavior patterns compared with the nonathletes in the following areas: quantity of alcohol consumed; driving while intoxicated with alcohol or other drugs; riding with an intoxicated driver; use of seatbelts; use of helmets when riding a motorcycle or moped; use of contraception; number of sexually transmitted diseases; and number of sexual partners.
College athletes appear to be at higher risk for certain maladaptive lifestyle behaviors. Comprehensive lifestyle assessment and preventive health intervention deserve further study to determine whether they can facilitate the adoption of positive lifestyle behaviors in this high-risk group.
尚无研究全面评估大学生运动员的健康行为。为确定他们是否可能有更高的不健康生活方式行为风险，我们比较了一组大学运动员与其非运动员同龄人在生活方式和健康风险行为方面的情况。
向109名大学生运动员和110名非运动员对照者发放了一份关于可预防生活方式行为的保密调查问卷。
与非运动员相比，运动员在以下方面有显著更高比例（P<0.05）的“危险”生活方式行为模式：饮酒量；酒后或使用其他药物后驾车；乘坐醉酒司机驾驶的车辆；使用安全带；骑摩托车或助力车时使用头盔；使用避孕措施；性传播疾病数量；以及性伴侣数量。
大学运动员似乎在某些适应不良的生活方式行为方面有更高风险。全面的生活方式评估和预防性健康干预值得进一步研究，以确定它们是否能促进这一高风险群体采用积极的生活方式行为。
