“…Our study identifies four latent lifestyle classes suggesting that health behavior types are probably interrelated, as found in previous research examining multiple risk behaviors among undergraduate students (Davoren et al, 2018;El Ansari & Berg-Beckhoff, 2017;Kabir et al, 2018;Nazar et al, 2019 that professors encourage students to get up and move for at least 10 min every 3 hr, as students need to be reminded that movement helps reduce the consequences of a long time sitting (Matsudo et al, 2001;Mussi et al, 2017) Other research suggests that the intensity of the academic schedules (e.g., long classes, multiple courses, and computer use) could contribute to a sedentary profile (Torquato et al, 2016) and contributes to obesity among students (Mussi et al, 2017). Previous findings discuss factors that influence the student's lifestyle.…”

“…Sedentary behavior among university students is common as identified in all the latent classes. This health risk may reflect academic requirements that involve long hours sitting in classes, studying, or completing academic assignments (Mussi et al, 2017).…”

“…For example, the weight gains commonly see in college freshman reflect academic and other changes that contribute to health risk (e.g., increased fast food intake, inactivity, sleep loss, and stress; Macedo et al, 2019). Academic requirements (e.g., computer use and class time) also contribute to increasing sedentary behaviors and the increase of abdominal circumference (Mussi, Pitanga, & Pires, 2017).…”

This is a cross‐sectional study whose objective was to identify clustering of lifestyle behaviors among undergraduate nursing students to inform health promotion efforts and improve health outcomes later in life. All 353 undergraduate nursing students from the School of Nursing in a public university, Bahia, Brazil were invited to participate. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were according to the major project. Participants must be enrolled and attending the 1st to 10th semester, with a minimum age of 18 years. Participants were excluded if they had any physical disabilities that limited the collection of anthropometric measures or were completing an internship off‐campus. A total of 286 undergraduate nursing students met the criteria and completed the survey. The questionnaires included standardized measures for demographic, academic, and lifestyle behaviors (e.g., tobacco use, alcohol use, physical activity level, sedentary behavior, and fruits and vegetables consumed). Latent class analysis was performed to identify any clustering of lifestyle behaviors. Descriptive analyses indicated that 3.1% of the students were smokers, 23.1% consumed alcohol, 34.3% were inactive, 85.0% were sedentary, and 80.8% did not consume recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables. Latent class analysis produced four distinct subtypes of health risk: (a) low‐health risk (33.57%); (b) moderate‐health risk (27.97%); (c) high‐health risk (19.58%); and (d) very high‐health risk (18.88%). Approximately 38.5% of students were in the very high or high‐risk classes. The proportion of students with very high and high‐health risks emphasizes the importance of health promotion programs for university nursing students.

“…Much like office workers, university students are also a population sub-group at risk of accumulating high levels of sedentary behaviour; activities such as attending lectures or studying likely involve long periods of sitting (Cotten and Prapavessis 2016). A crosssectional study conducted in Brazil concluded university students spend an average of 8.3 h of self-reported sedentary time per day (Mussi et al 2017), and the average is commonly two to three hours higher when using accelerometers (Clark et al 2016;Conroy et al 2013). Evidence thus exists suggesting that university students are highly sedentary (Rouse and Biddle 2010;Farinola and Bazán 2011) and that their sedentary behaviour levels are comparable to or likely to exceed those of desk-based office workers (Moulin and Irwin 2017).…”

How Sedentary Are University Students? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Accumulating high volumes of sedentary behaviour is a risk factor for multiple negative health-related outcomes. The objective of this review was to synthesise the evidence on the levels of sedentary behaviour in university students. Screened records from 13 databases were included if (i) published after 2007 and (ii) reported on university students' amount of total or domain-specific sedentary behaviour. Sub-group and meta-regression analyses were conducted to investigate potential sources of heterogeneity (moderators). A total of 125 studies met the inclusion criteria. Most studies were cross-sectional (84%) and reported screen time (61%) or total sedentary time (39%). Self-reported data indicated that university students spend 7.29 h per day being sedentary. The levels of total sedentary behaviour were significantly higher when measured with accelerometers (M = 9.82 h per day). Computer use presented significantly higher prevalence over other modalities of screen time. Among the explored factors (i.e. countries' income, age, gender, and study's publication date), only publication date significantly moderated sedentary behaviour. Results suggest that a considerable proportion of university students (i) engage in higher levels of sedentary time compared to the general young adult population and (ii) accumulate levels of sedentary time that have been associated with an increased risk for detrimental health outcomes. In addition, meta-regression analyses suggest that sedentary time has increased over the last 10-year period among university students. These findings may inform future initiatives and policies targeting university students' sedentary behaviour. Further research is needed to identify the factors moderating sedentary behaviour in the university setting.

“…Physical inactivity was common in many of the studies conducted with university students (Alfhaid et al, 2017;Brito et al, 2016;Morawiec et al, 2016). In Brazilian university students excessive sitting time was predictive of abdominal obesity (Mussi, Pitanga & Pires, 2017).…”

Objective: Examine the evolution of publications on the lifestyle risk behaviors of university students. Methods: Bibliometric research was carried out on using 9011 articles retrieved from the SciELO and Web of Science database. The analyses included, the trend of the production, the most productive countries, journals, institutions, and the relevant information was extracted based on frequency of co-occurrence of keywords between 2009 and 2019 using the bibliometric software, namely VantagePoint, VOSviewer, NetDraw and UCINET. Results: The study revealed a significant concentration of publications between 2014 and 2018 in North American countries, especially the United States. However, the most productive institution was the University of São Paulo (Brazil). Stress, physical inactivity, obesity, and smoking were the risk behaviors most used as keywords in the articles, and these have a strong relationship with other keywords subsets related to mental health, forms of treatment, the study population and lifestyle behaviors. Conclusion: The scientific map of lifestyle risk behaviors among university students was supported by exhaustive research. It was possible by the establishment of research networks between the various centers of knowledge production, especially with the American researchers.
