大学是一个关键时期，学生更容易从事危险的健康行为，如缺乏体育锻炼、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。这项研究旨在评估沙特阿拉伯健康学院和非健康学院学生促进健康的生活方式。共有1656名学生参与了这项描述性横断面研究。数据收集工作于2016年11月至2017年2月在沙特国王大学进行。参与的学生完成了一份自我报告问卷，其中包括关于他们的人口统计特征和他们的健康促进行为的问题。大多数参与者是女性(70.4%)，20%的参与者超重，11.3%的参与者肥胖。分析表明，卫生院校与非卫生院校在健康责任因子上存在显著差异。研究发现，这两所学校的学生对有关体育活动和健康饮食习惯的建议的遵守程度不够。分析还发现，这两所大学的大多数学生都没有参加医疗保健教育课程。该模型显示，性别、大学类型、受教育年限和家庭结构是沙特阿拉伯学生健康生活方式的显著预测因素。目前的研究结果表明，大学生正在过着不健康的生活，他们中的大多数人都有不健康的饮食习惯和糟糕的体育锻炼水平。大学是实施健康促进计划的理想场所。因此，计划和实施计划，激励学生对自己的健康更加负责，更多地参加体育活动，养成健康的饮食习惯和其他形式的健康是至关重要的。
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. 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. 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. 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.
