This study aimed to verify the association between stages of behavior change related to physical activity and nutritional status among 862 university students. Body mass index cut-off values were used to classify nutritional status. Stages of behavior change were analyzed individually and classified into active (action, maintenance) and inactive (pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation). The most prevalent stages of behavior change were contemplation (32%) and preparation (29.5%). Among the entire sample of students, 68.4% were inactive. Prevalence rates for underweight, overweight, and obesity were 9.5%, 12.4%, and 1.7%, respectively. Students classified in the pre-contemplation stage were 5.99 times (CI95%: 2.29-15.68) and 7.98 times (CI95%: 1.41-45.32) more likely to be underweight and overweight, respectively. The university plays a fundamental role in adopting plans and actions targeting the academic community, promoting lifestyle changes through physical activity programs.
本研究旨在验证862名大学生中与体育活动相关的行为改变阶段和营养状况之间的关联。采用体重指数临界值对营养状况进行分类。对行为改变阶段进行单独分析，并分为积极阶段（行动、维持）和消极阶段（未打算、打算、准备）。行为改变最普遍的阶段是打算阶段（32%）和准备阶段（29.5%）。在全体学生样本中，68.4%处于消极阶段。体重过轻、超重和肥胖的患病率分别为9.5%、12.4%和1.7%。处于未打算阶段的学生体重过轻和超重的可能性分别是其他学生的5.99倍（95%置信区间：2.29 - 15.68）和7.98倍（95%置信区间：1.41 - 45.32）。大学在制定针对学术界的计划和行动、通过体育活动项目促进生活方式改变方面发挥着重要作用。
