“…Additionally, societal gender roles and attitudes towards smoking could have a significant impact on the acceptability of this behavior. Many clinical researches on smoking addiction compare usage rates in men and women, and similar to our study, discuss the high smoking rates among men [23,24]. The higher average age in the smoking group suggests that individuals may be more likely to start smoking or continue smoking as they age.…”

Objective: Smoking is an escalating public health concern globally, notably for its frequency among young individuals and the medical conditions it induces. This research aims to explore the association between smoking and the symptoms of dyspnea as well as cognitive flexibility levels in medical students. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 188 volunteer medical school students. Participants were administered a sociodemographic data form, the Dyspnea-12 Scale, and the Cognitive Flexibility Scale. The participants were divided into two groups as smokers and non-smokers and compared in terms of the applied scale scores. The data were analyzed using the appropriate statistical methods with IBM SPSS v.22 software. Results: Of the 188 participants, 56.9% (n:107) were female, while 43.1% (n: 81) were male. The prevalence of smoking among participants was 26.1% (n: 49), with rates at 38.3% (n:31) for males and 16.8% (n: 18) for females. The smoking rate was significantly higher in males (p<0.001). No significant difference was detected between smokers and non-smokers regarding the Dyspnea-12 score. However, the Cognitive Flexibility Scale scores were significantly lower in the smoker group (p:0.018). Conclusion: In our study, we found that the smoking rate among medical students was quite high and that smoking negatively affected cognitive flexibility. It may be beneficial to consider this when evaluating cognitive functions in educated individuals who smoke.

“…Yılmaz et al they showed that male students studying in sports sciences were more likely to consume cigarettes and alcohol, but there was no statistical difference (Yılmaz et al, 2007). In another study conducted with university students, it was determined that male students consumed more cigarettes (p<0.05) due to a greater sense of freedom and less family pressure (Kılıç et al, 2018). When the physical activity levels were examined in our study, it was observed that the students who were inactive or did insufficient physical activity were more in health sciences, those who had sufficient level in sports sciences (p<0.05).…”

In this study, it was aimed to determine the relationship between physical activity and intuitive eating (IE) and mindful eating (ME) in university students. The “International Physical Activity Short Form”, “Mindful Eating Test (MET)” and “Intuitive Eating Scale (IES)” were applied by questioning the demographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, health information and nutritional habits of 255 university students studying in Health and Sports sciences. Among the students whose mean age is 20.34±2.06, 86.7% of the students who are in health science are female, and 67.7% of them, who are in sports sciences are male (p<0.05). Students (51.4%) with normal Body Mass Index (BMI) consume three main meals and go on a diet for aesthetic reasons. Eating discipline (ED), emotional eating (EE), and intuitive eating total (IET) scores are higher in females, while control of eating (EC) scores are higher in males (p<0.05). Intuitive eating total score, reliance on hunger and satiety cues (RHSC), unconditional permission to eat (UPE) and EC cores are positively related to BMI. Students who are physically inactive have higher IET score, RHSC, body-food choice congruence, focusing and ED, and those who do adequate physical activity have higher eating control scores (p<0.05). Mindful eating total score and sub-dimensions are positively correlated with the score of all sub-dimensions except UPE, which is one of the sub-dimensions of IE (p<0.05). In addition, as the UPE score increases, the total scores of disinhibitions, ED, focusing, interference, EE, and ME decrease (p<0.05). In conclusion, ME and IE are positively related to each other. It is understood that adequate and balanced nutrition along with being physically active at the same time is quite important for younger individuals to be healthier.

Anket verileri öğrencilerin %32.6'sının tütün ürünleri (sıklıkla sigara) kullandığını, erkek öğrencilerin sigara kullanma alışkanlığı sıklığının daha yüksek olduğunu, daha erken yaşlarda sigara kullanmaya başladıklarını ve günlük tüketim miktarının (adedinin) daha fazla olduğunu göstermiştir. Sigara kullanma davranışının gelişmesinde "sigara sağlığa zararlıdır" düşüncesine sahip olmanın azaltıcı, buna karşılık sık görüşülen arkadaşların sigara kullanmasının artırıcı etkisi olduğu görülmüştür. Üniversite eğitiminin ilk ve son yılları karşılaştırıldığında, sigara kullanan öğrenci sayısının zamanla arttığı saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Önceki yıllara göre, toplumumuzda Sağlık Meslek Yüksekokulu öğrencileri arasında sigara ve nargile kullanımı artmaktadır. Bu artışta cinsiyet, arkadaş etkisi, merak, özenti, stres ve kültürel özellikler ön plana çıkmaktadır. Bu nedenle tütün ürünleri ile mücadele politikalarında bu hususların dikkate alınması önem arz etmektedir.
