“…Eight of every ten students do not consume enough fruit and vegetable, and four of every ten are physically inactive. Considering the population of university students, these results corroborate those of Marcondelli et al 31 , and exceed those of Colares et al 27 . However, the measurements used by the latter authors did not consider number of servings, and those same authors did not investigate physical activity frequency and intensity.…”

“…Colares et al 27 , for example, studied the health behaviors of students from public highereducation institutions of Recife, but they did not investigate whether these behaviors were clustered or whether they were associated with attending university. Given the above information, the present study aims to investigate clustering between physical inactivity and low fruit and vegetable intake, and whether this possible clustering is associated with university-related variables.…”
A B S T R A C T ObjectiveTo investigate the cluster of physical inactivity and low fruit and vegetable intake and the associated factors in university students.
MethodsThis cross-sectional study included a representative sample (n=717) of Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco students. Low fruit and vegetable intake was defined as an intake of less than five servings a day and physical inactivity was defined as exercising less than 150 minutes a week. The independent variables were gender, age, socioeconomic status, school year, shift, and study time. Clustering was determined by comparing the observed prevalence with the expected prevalence for all possible risk-factor combinations. Logistic regression analysis, performed by the software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 17.0 with a significance level of 5% (p<0.05), considered the presence of both risk behaviors adjusted to the independent variables.
ResultsThe prevalence of low fruit and vegetable intake was 81.7% (CI95%=78.1-84.3) and of physical inactivity was 65.8% (CI95%=62.2-69.4). Most students (58.6%, CI95%=55.3-62.2) were exposed to both risk factors simultaneously, while 11.0% (CI95%=8.9-13.5) were exposed to neither. Full-time students have a risk 1.45

“…A evidência encontrada em um daqueles estudos 14 , comprovando que os homens jovens utilizam mais o preservativo masculino em comparação às mulheres, não foi observada nesta pesquisa. Por sua vez, a forte tendência de aumento do uso da pílula entre a primeira e a última relação sexual, principalmente entre as mulheres, e a diminuição da proporção de uso do preservativo masculino, embora tenha permanecido elevada, estão em acordo com os resultados obtidos em outros estudos 1,3,15 .…”
Introdução O comportamento contraceptivo na juventude apresenta uma dinâmica própria, em que o perfil de uso de métodos anticoncepcionais modificase conforme o tipo de relacionamento afetivoamoroso estabelecido entre os parceiros, ou seja, se é eventual, recente ou estável 1,2,3 . No que concerne especificamente a jovens altamente escolarizados, entre os quais, supostamente, informação e acesso aos métodos contraceptivos não seriam problema, Pirotta & Schor 1 observaram que a prática contraceptiva de universitários no Município de São Paulo era marcada tanto pela alta freqüência de uso de métodos contraceptivos, embora nem sempre de forma consistente, quanto pela tendência de substituição do preservativo masculino pela pílula oral. Neste caso, verificou-se paralelamente, ao longo dos relacionamentos, o uso esporádico de métodos considerados de baixa eficácia, como tabelinha e coito interrompido.Este estudo toma como hipótese que é justamente nesses momentos de inconsistências nas práticas contraceptivas, como na substituição de métodos contraceptivos dentro de um mesmo relacionamento ou no início de outro, que a anticoncepção de emergência -foco deste trabalho -é adotada como uma opção para a prevenção de uma gravidez não planejada, e não somente em situações de emergência, como recomendado pelo Ministério da Saúde 4 , espe-ARTIGO ARTICLE
“…Assim, vários pesquisadores têm se preocupado em investigar a prevalência dos fatores de risco apontados em populações jovens, com o propósito de que medidas de prevenção e promoção à saúde possam ser efetivamente implementadas (BAUS; KUPER; PIRES, 2002;OLIVEIRA et al, 2008;CHEIK;MAYER, 2008;COLARES;FRANCA;GONZALES, 2009) numa população que tende a adotar comportamentos pouco saudáveis.…”

“…Estudos realizados nas últimas décadas assinalam mudanças em jovens universitários para estilos de vida menos saudáveis, tanto no Brasil (COLARES; FRANCA; GONZALES, 2009;MIELKE et al, 2010), como em outros países (TAKEDA et al, 2006;AIRLISS, 2007). Entretanto, poucos estudos têm priorizado a investigação de fatores de risco a DCNT em futuros profissionais de saúde, buscando compreender o papel da formação recebida no gerenciamento destes comportamentos de risco.…”
