To determine whether mindfulness is associated with physical and behavioral measures in first semester college students.
Male and female first year college students (n = 75) from the University of Rhode Island.
Height, weight, waist circumference (WC), and blood pressure were assessed and online questionnaires were completed. Independent t tests and Pearson correlations were utilized for analysis.
The less mindful group had a higher WC than the more mindful group. Correlations were seen between mindfulness and weight-related behaviors.
Mindfulness can impact health status of first year college students, particularly with behavioral measures that have been found to effect weight status. However, additional research is needed focusing on mindfulness as a potential weight gain prevention technique for first year college students in order to decrease chronic disease prevalence.
确定正念是否与大学一年级学生的身体和行为指标相关。
来自罗德岛大学的男性和女性一年级大学生（n = 75）。
评估身高、体重、腰围（WC）和血压，并完成在线问卷。分析采用独立 t 检验和 Pearson 相关性。
正念程度较低的组的 WC 高于正念程度较高的组。正念与与体重相关的行为之间存在相关性。
正念可以影响大学一年级学生的健康状况，特别是与已发现影响体重状况的行为措施相关。但是，需要进一步研究正念作为预防大学一年级学生体重增加的潜在技术，以降低慢性病的患病率。
