OBJECTIVE

Medical students usually do not meet the recommendations on the minimum level of physical activity, despite knowing the impact that physical activity has on the prevention and treatment of various diseases. Medical students are considered to be insufficiently physically active. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of physically active fifth-year medical students at five universities in Serbia, as well as to identify factors associated with insufficient physical activity of students.

METHODS

A cross-sectional study was performed in the population of fifth-year medical students from five different universities in Serbia. The research instrument was a questionnaire specially designed based on similar research. Descriptive and analytical statistics methods were used in statistical analysis.

RESULTS

The study included a total of 573 fifth-year medical students from five universities in Serbia: 311 (54.3%) Belgrade; 86 (15.0%) Kragujevac; 58 (10.1%) Nis; 66 (11.5%) Kosovska Mitrovica; 52 (9.1%) Novi Sad. Insufficient physical activity was statistically significantly associated with studying at the University of Kosovska Mitrovica (OR = 3.98, 95% CI: 1.83-8.57). There was a statistically significant difference in the frequency of anti-anxiety medications use in the last 12 months between students with sufficient and insufficient physical activity (p = 0.040) as well as in the average number of cigarettes smoked per day between students with sufficient and those with insufficient physical activity (2.82 ± 6.35 vs. 4.50 ± 8.29, p = 0.043). There was also a statistically significant difference in the average score on the Beck's depression scale between students with sufficient and students with insufficient physical activity (6.51 ± 6.59 vs. 10.03 ± 9.37, p < 0.001) and in the average score on Zung's anxiety scale (34.86 ± 8.18 vs. 38.07 ± 8.71, p = 0.003).

CONCLUSION

A high percentage of medical faculty students (86.6%) are physically active. Differences in the level of physical activity were observed between students of these five universities as well as between students with different levels of physical activity.

目的

医学生通常不符合最低体力活动水平的建议，尽管他们知道体力活动对预防和治疗各种疾病的影响。医学生被认为是体力活动不足的。本研究的目的是确定塞尔维亚五所大学五年级医学生的体力活动流行率，并确定与学生体力活动不足相关的因素。

方法

在塞尔维亚五所不同大学的五年级医学生人群中进行了横断面研究。研究工具是根据类似研究专门设计的问卷。在统计分析中使用了描述性和分析性统计方法。

结果

该研究共包括来自塞尔维亚五所大学的 573 名五年级医学生：311 名（54.3%）来自贝尔格莱德；86 名（15.0%）来自克拉古耶瓦茨；58 名（10.1%）来自尼斯；66 名（11.5%）来自科索夫斯卡米特罗维察；52 名（9.1%）来自诺维萨德。体力活动不足与在科索夫斯卡米特罗维察大学学习统计学上显著相关（OR = 3.98，95%CI：1.83-8.57）。在过去 12 个月中使用抗焦虑药物的频率以及在体力活动充足和不足的学生之间每天平均吸烟的香烟数量之间存在统计学显著差异（p = 0.040）（2.82 ± 6.35 与 4.50 ± 8.29，p = 0.043）。在贝克抑郁量表的平均评分方面，体力活动充足和不足的学生之间也存在统计学显著差异（6.51 ± 6.59 与 10.03 ± 9.37，p < 0.001）和在 Zung 焦虑量表的平均评分方面（34.86 ± 8.18 与 38.07 ± 8.71，p = 0.003）。
