To assess weight changes, exercise and diet behaviors among college students from the beginning of freshman year until the end of senior year.
Longitudinal observational study.
Private university in St. Louis, Missouri.
College students (138 females, 66 males).
Weight and height were measured, body mass index (BMI) was calculated, and exercise and dietary behaviors were assessed by questionnaire.
Changes in weight, BMI, exercise, and dietary patterns from the beginning of freshman year to the end of senior year.
Females gained 1.7 +/- 4.5 kg (3.75 +/- 9.92 lb) [mean +/- SD] from freshman to senior year, and males gained 4.2 +/- 6.4 kg (9.26 +/- 14.11 lb) (both P < .001). Weight changes were highly variable between students, however, ranging from -13.2 kg to +20.9 kg (-29.10 to +46.08 lb).
Weight gain was common but variable among college students. Importantly, exercise and dietary patterns did not meet the recommended guidelines for many college students, which may have long-term health implications.
评估大学生从大一开始到大学毕业时的体重变化、运动和饮食行为。
纵向观察性研究。
密苏里州圣路易斯的一所私立大学。
大学生（138名女性，66名男性）。
测量体重和身高，计算体重指数（BMI），并通过问卷调查评估运动和饮食行为。
从大一开始到大学毕业时体重、BMI、运动和饮食模式的变化。
从大一到大学毕业，女性体重增加了1.7±4.5千克（3.75±9.92磅）[平均值±标准差]，男性体重增加了4.2±6.4千克（9.26±14.11磅）（P均<0.001）。然而，学生之间的体重变化差异很大，范围从-13.2千克到+20.9千克（-29.10到+46.08磅）。
体重增加在大学生中很常见，但存在个体差异。重要的是，许多大学生的运动和饮食模式未达到推荐标准，这可能对长期健康产生影响。
