To determine the effect of gender and physical activity on internet addiction in medical students.
In this cross sectional, analytical study Young's internet addiction test questionnaire was distributed to 350 MBBS students of Army Medical College, Rawalpindi. The study was conducted from January to May 2015. A dichotomous response from students regarding physical activity was obtained which was verified from the sports department of the institution. Based upon total score, internet addiction was categorized as no addiction if the score was less than or equal to 49, moderate addiction when the score was 50 to 79 and severe when the score was 80 to 100.
Out of 322 respondents 175 (54.3%) were males and 147 (42.7%) females with a mean age of 19.27±1.01 years. Total internet addiction score and frequency of internet addiction were similar between males and females (37.71±11.9 vs 38.63±14.00, p=0.18 and 25 vs 29, p=0.20). However, total score and frequency of internet addiction were higher in students lacking physical activity as compared to those with regular physical activity (40.37±15.05 vs 36.38±11.76, p=0.01 and 30 vs 24, p=0.01).
Internet addiction is unrelated to gender however it is inversely related to physical activity.
确定性别和体育活动对医学生网络成瘾的影响。
在这项横断面分析研究中，向拉瓦尔品第陆军医学院的350名医科学生发放了杨氏网络成瘾测试问卷。该研究于2015年1月至5月进行。获得了学生关于体育活动的二分法回答，并由该机构的体育部门进行了核实。根据总分，若得分小于或等于49，则网络成瘾分类为无成瘾；得分在50至79之间为中度成瘾；得分在80至100之间为重度成瘾。
在322名受访者中，175名（54.3%）为男性，147名（42.7%）为女性，平均年龄为19.27±1.01岁。男性和女性之间的网络成瘾总分和网络成瘾频率相似（37.71±11.9对38.63±14.00，p = 0.18；25对29，p = 0.20）。然而，与经常进行体育活动的学生相比，缺乏体育活动的学生的网络成瘾总分和频率更高（40.37±15.05对36.38±11.76，p = 0.01；30对24，p = 0.01）。
网络成瘾与性别无关，但与体育活动呈负相关。
