在美国，体育活动和健康饮食被推荐来帮助扭转青少年和成年人中日益普遍的超重。方法：资料来源于1995年全国大学生健康危险行为调查。对美国本科生的代表性样本（n = 4609）进行了分析，以检验体育活动和食物选择与体重管理目标和实践的关系。结果：根据自我报告的身高和体重，35%的学生超重或肥胖（体重指数大于等于25.0）。近一半（46%）的学生表示他们正在努力减肥。女学生比男学生更不可能超重，但更有可能试图减肥。在女性和男性学生中，使用逻辑回归控制人口统计学，试图减肥与参加剧烈体育活动和强化锻炼以及每天摄入少于或等于2份高脂肪食物有关。报告通过运动减肥或防止体重增加的男女学生比那些没有参加剧烈、强化和适度体育活动的学生更有可能，并且更有可能每天吃超过或等于5份水果和蔬菜，少于或等于2份高脂肪食物。在试图减肥的学生中，只有54%的女生和41%的男生同时使用运动和饮食来控制体重。结论：高校应实施方案，提高学生对健康体重管理方法的认识，并将体育活动与健康相结合。
Introduction: Physical activity and a healthy diet have been recommended to help reverse the increasing prevalence of overweight among adolescents and adults in the United States.Methods: Data is from the 1995 National College Health Risk Behavior Survey. A representative sample of US undergraduate college students (n = 4609) were analyzed to examine associations of physical activity and food choice with weight management goals and practices.Results: Based on self-reported height and weight, 35% of students were overweight or obese (body mass index greater than or equal to 25.0). Nearly half (46%) of all students reported they were trying to lose weight. Female students were less likely than male students to be overweight, but more likely to be trying to lose weight. Among female and male students, using logistic regression to control for demographics, trying to lose weight tvas associated with participation in vigorous physical activity and strengthening exercises, and consumption of less than or equal to 2 servings/day of high-fat foods. Female and male students who reported using exercise to lose weight or to keep from gaining weight were more likely than those who did not to participate in vigorous, strengthening, and moderate physical activity, and were more likely to eat greater than or equal to 5 servings/day of fruits and vegetables and less than or equal to 2 servings/day of high-fat foods. Among students who were trying to lose weight, only 54% of females and 41% of males used both exercise and diet for weight control.Conclusion: Colleges should implement programs to increase student awareness of healthy weight management methods and the importance of physical activity combined with a healthy.
