BACKGROUND
College is a critical time where students are more prone to engage in risky health behaviors known to negatively affect well-being, such as physical inactivity, stress, and poor dietary habits. A health promoting lifestyle is an important determinant of health status and is recognized as a major factor for the maintenance and improvement of health. This study was designed to assess the health-promoting lifestyle of students in health colleges and non-health colleges in Saudi Arabia.
METHODS
A total of 1656 students participated in this descriptive cross-sectional study. Data gathering was conducted from November 2016 to February 2017 at King Saud University. Participating students completed a self-reported questionnaire that included questions regarding their demographic characteristics and their health-promoting behaviors.
RESULTS
The majority of participants were females (70.4%), 20% of the participants were overweight and 11.3%, were obese. The analysis showed that there was a significant difference between health colleges and non-health colleges with regards to the factor of health responsibility. Students at both schools were found to have an inadequate level of adherence to recommendations regarding physical activity and healthy eating habits. The analysis also found that majority of the students in both colleges do not attend educational programs on health care. The model shows that gender, type of college, year in school, and family structure were significant predictors of the health lifestyle of students in Saudi Arabia.
CONCLUSION
The results of the current study indicate that university students are leading unhealthy lives, where the majority of them have unhealthy eating habits and poor physical activity level. Universities are ideal settings for implementing health promotion programs. Therefore, planning and implementing programs to motivate students to be more responsible for their own health, to engage more in physical activity, and to practice healthy eating habits and other forms of wellness are of paramount importance.
背景
大学阶段是一个关键时期，学生更容易参与已知会对幸福感产生负面影响的危险健康行为，例如身体活动不足、压力和不良饮食习惯。促进健康的生活方式是健康状况的重要决定因素，被认为是维持和改善健康的主要因素。本研究旨在评估沙特阿拉伯健康学院和非健康学院学生的健康促进生活方式。
方法
共有 1656 名学生参加了这项描述性横断面研究。数据收集于 2016 年 11 月至 2017 年 2 月在沙特国王大学进行。参与学生完成了一份自我报告问卷，其中包括有关他们人口统计学特征和健康促进行为的问题。
结果
大多数参与者为女性（70.4%），20%的参与者超重，11.3%的参与者肥胖。分析表明，健康学院和非健康学院在健康责任因素方面存在显著差异。两所学校的学生都被发现对体育活动和健康饮食习惯的建议没有足够的坚持。分析还发现，两所学校的大多数学生都不参加医疗保健教育课程。该模型表明，性别、学院类型、在校年级和家庭结构是沙特阿拉伯学生健康生活方式的重要预测因素。
结论
本研究的结果表明，大学生过着不健康的生活，他们中的大多数人都有不健康的饮食习惯和较差的身体活动水平。大学是实施健康促进计划的理想场所。因此，规划和实施计划以激励学生对自己的健康负责，更多地参与体育活动，实践健康饮食习惯和其他形式的健康生活方式至关重要。
