An increasing number of university students are earning their degrees online. Thus far, the determinants of health among online university students have not been studied. The purpose of this cross-sectional internet survey was to test the association between behavioral risk factors and self-rated health in a diverse sample of online university students. Cigarette smoking was associated with lower odds of good self-rated health (OR = 0.27, P < 0.01). Compared to having zero days of mental distress, 14 or more days of mental distress was associated with lower odds of good self-rated health (OR = 0.08, P < 0.05). White students had lower odds of reporting good self-rated health compared to African-American students (OR = 0.35, P < 0.05). Health education, screening and health promotion programs should be developed for online students.
越来越多的大学生选择在线学习来获得学位。目前，尚未对在线大学生的健康决定因素进行研究。本横断面互联网调查的目的是在多样化的在线大学生样本中检验行为风险因素与自我报告健康之间的关联。吸烟与良好自我报告健康的几率较低有关（OR = 0.27，P < 0.01）。与没有精神困扰的天数相比，有 14 天或更多天精神困扰与良好自我报告健康的几率较低有关（OR = 0.08，P < 0.05）。与非裔美国学生相比，白人学生报告良好自我报告健康的几率较低（OR = 0.35，P < 0.05）。应针对在线学生开发健康教育、筛查和健康促进计划。
