The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence and factors associated with simultaneous health risk behaviors in freshmen college students enrolled in a Brazilian university. We interviewed 738 students (59.2% men) with average age of 20.1 years (CI 95%: 19.8-20.5). The risk behaviors assessed were smoking habit, alcohol use, unhealthy diet and physical inactivity. Independent variables were sex, age, employment, marital status, maternal education, study shift and socioeconomic level. It was found that 8.7% were smokers, 45.9% showed alcohol abuse, 59.4% had inadequate diet and 18.5% were physically inactive. Of the students, 20.2% showed no risk behavior, 39.1% one behavior, 29.0% two risk behaviors and 11.7% three and/or four risk behaviors. Males (OR: 2.04, CI 95%: 1.13-3.67) and night shift students (OR: 1.83, CI 95%: 1.01-3.33) were more likely to have three and/or four risk behaviors. Health promotion interventions focusing simultaneous behavior changes should be employed at the university.
本研究旨在评估巴西某大学新生同时存在健康风险行为的流行情况及其相关因素。我们对 738 名学生（59.2%为男性）进行了访谈，平均年龄为 20.1 岁（95%CI：19.8-20.5）。评估的风险行为包括吸烟习惯、饮酒、不健康饮食和缺乏身体活动。自变量为性别、年龄、就业、婚姻状况、母亲教育程度、学习时段和社会经济水平。结果显示，8.7%的学生吸烟，45.9%的学生有酗酒行为，59.4%的学生饮食不健康，18.5%的学生缺乏身体活动。其中，20.2%的学生没有风险行为，39.1%的学生存在一种风险行为，29.0%的学生存在两种风险行为，11.7%的学生存在三种或四种风险行为。男性（OR：2.04，95%CI：1.13-3.67）和上夜班的学生（OR：1.83，95%CI：1.01-3.33）更有可能存在三种或四种风险行为。应在大学开展针对同时发生的行为改变的健康促进干预措施。
