The purpose of this study was to describe and understand the lifestyles of non-obese female college students with high body fat (HBF).
The interview data were collected from 18 female students [body mass index (BMI) <23 kg/m(2) and body fat ratio ≥30%] and analyzed by using descriptive phenomenology of Colaizzi. The procedural steps described the phenomenon of interest, collected participants' descriptions of the phenomenon, extracted the meaning of significant statements, organized the meanings into clusters, wrote exhaustive descriptions and then incorporated data into an exhaustive description.
The results in 153 restatements, 36 constructed meanings, 22 themes, seven theme clusters, and three categories were deduced. The three categories were: diminished daily concerns of health, changes in living habits by stressors, and perceived unbalance in health.
This study describes non-obese female university students' experiences with HBF and their lifestyles. The findings have important implications for health promotion for non-obese female university students with HBF and must be considered when developing education courses for preparing adults.

收集了18名女学生的访谈数据[体重指数(BMI)<23 kg/m²且体脂率≥30%],并采用科莱齐的描述现象学进行分析。程序步骤包括描述感兴趣的现象、收集参与者对该现象的描述、提取重要陈述的含义、将含义组织成类别、撰写详尽描述,然后将数据纳入详尽描述中。
得出了153条重述、36个构建意义、22个主题、7个主题类别和3个范畴。这3个范畴分别为:日常健康关注度降低、压力源导致生活习惯改变、感知到健康失衡。
