Being overweight is associated with cardiometabolic risk, and lifestyles including smoking and good sleep hygiene are also implicated. We aimed to assess the dietary habit, time spent on social media, and sleep duration relationship to body mass index (BMI) among medical students in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 147 clinical phase medical students in the Medical College, University of Tabuk (Saudi Arabia) from January 2018 to May 2018. A checklist questionnaire was used to measure variables such as age, sex, smoking, level of exercise, whether taking meals and snacks regularly, eating fast food, fruit and vegetable consumption, sleep duration, time spent on social media, and breakfast skipping. Data were analyzed by IBM-SPSS version 20, using one-way ANOVA and Pearson's production-moment correlation (r). A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Participants consisted of 51% males, mean age (Mean ± SD) was 22.90±1.27 years, sleep duration was 7.50±2.17 hours, time spent on social media was 5.54±3.49 hours, body mass index was 24.8±5.19, and breakfast skipping, fast food consumption, smoking, and regular exercise were reported in 52.4%, 87.7%, 12.9%, and 36.1% respectively. A significant negative correlation was evident between BMI and sleep duration (r= -0.185, p=0.025), cigarette smokers were more likely to be obese compared to their counterparts (27.28±6.85 vs. 24.10±4.98, p=0.018). No significant statistical relationship was evident between BMI, breakfast skipping, fast food, fruit and vegetable intake, and time spent on social media.
BMI was higher among smokers and those with shorter sleep duration, there was no association between BMI and other students' characteristics. Measures to smoking quitting and good sleep hygiene are recommended.
超重与心血管代谢风险相关，吸烟和良好的睡眠卫生习惯等生活方式也与之有关。我们旨在评估沙特阿拉伯塔布克医科学生的饮食习惯、花在社交媒体上的时间以及睡眠时间与体重指数（BMI）之间的关系。
2018年1月至2018年5月，在沙特阿拉伯塔布克大学医学院对147名临床阶段的医科学生进行了一项横断面研究。使用一份清单问卷来测量年龄、性别、吸烟、运动水平、是否规律进餐和吃零食、吃快餐、水果和蔬菜摄入量、睡眠时间、花在社交媒体上的时间以及是否不吃早餐等变量。数据采用IBM-SPSS 20版进行分析，使用单因素方差分析和皮尔逊积差相关系数（r）。p值小于0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
参与者中男性占51%，平均年龄（均值±标准差）为22.90±1.27岁，睡眠时间为7.50±2.17小时，花在社交媒体上的时间为5.54±3.49小时，体重指数为24.8±5.19，分别有52.4%、87.7%、12.9%和36.1%的人报告有不吃早餐、吃快餐、吸烟和经常运动的情况。BMI与睡眠时间之间存在显著的负相关（r = -0.185，p = 0.025），吸烟者比不吸烟者更易肥胖（27.28±6.85 vs. 24.10±4.98，p = 0.018）。BMI与不吃早餐、吃快餐、水果和蔬菜摄入量以及花在社交媒体上的时间之间没有明显的统计学关系。
吸烟者和睡眠时间较短者的BMI较高，BMI与其他学生特征之间没有关联。建议采取戒烟措施和保持良好的睡眠卫生习惯。
