大学期间的体重增加和行为模式可能会导致成年后的超重和肥胖。这项研究的目的是评估764名大学生（53%女性，47%男性）在大一和大二的体重，运动和饮食模式。学生们测量了他们的体重和身高，并完成了关于他们最近锻炼和饮食模式的问卷调查。在大一开始时，29%的学生报告说没有锻炼，70%的学生每天吃不到5种水果和蔬菜，超过50%的学生在前一周至少吃3次油炸或高脂肪快餐。到大二结束时，重新评估的290名学生中有70%的人体重增加（4.1 +/- 3.6 kg，p <0.001），但与运动或饮食模式没有明显联系。未来的研究需要评估脂肪、肌肉和骨量对观察到的体重增加的贡献，并确定这些发现对健康的影响。
Weight gain and behavioral patterns during college may contribute to overweight and obesity in adulthood. The aims of this study were to assess weight, exercise, and dietary patterns of 764 college students (53% women, 47% men) during freshman and sophomore years. Students had their weight and height measured and completed questionnaires about their recent exercise and dietary patterns. At the beginning of freshman year, 29% of students reported not exercising, 70% ate fewer than 5 fruits and vegetables daily, and more than 50% ate fried or high-fat fast foods at least 3 times during the previous week. By the end of their sophomore year, 70% of the 290 students who were reassessed had gained weight (4.1 +/- 3.6 kg, p < .001), but there was no apparent association with exercise or dietary patterns. Future research is needed to assess the contributions of fat, muscle, and bone mass to observed weight gain and to determine the health implications of these findings.
