“…More than half of the students surveyed by us consider the high workload of studies as the reason preventing the PA, and 10.7% admit that they have no motivation to do it. The same results are obtained in a number of studies conducted in other regions [13,14,17,20,27]. Researchers believe that high educational loads lead to the fact that a significant part of students have reduced motivation for physical self-development, often there is no free time, motivation, and a convincing example for rational behavior [7].…”

“…The most important component of the students' healthy lifestyle is rational nutrition. An improper diet schedule and imbalance in daily food packages and meals, identified in our students, have been established by other researchers [16,17,19,22], too. These changes are typical for the student population in general, with slight differences across regions.…”

“…Our study has shown that a little more than a third of the respondents consider their lifestyle to be healthy. When comparing the results of self-assessment of lifestyle by the medical students, obtained by us, with the data of other authors, it is noteworthy that approximately the same number of students consider their lifestyle to be healthy [5,12,13,15,17]. Among the reasons hindering to keep a healthy lifestyle, according to the students, the key factor is their high workload with studies/work.…”

“…It is noteworthy that one-fifth of our respondents do not engage in any type of PA. The low PA of the students is indicated by studies conducted in various regions of this country [7,9,13,14,17,20,27]. At the same time, only 1% of the students surveyed have indicated physical inactivity as a circumstance preventing a healthy lifestyle.…”

“…Of particular interest is the preservation of the health and labor potential in medical students, whose specific educational and occupational pathways places high demands on their health [12,13,14]. The contradiction lies in the fact that an imbalance between the intensity of training loads and their free time can lead to the formation of behavioral habits with an expected negative impact on their health [15,16,17]. Studies devoted to the study of the lifestyle in medical students have shown that the students generally keep an unhealthy lifestyle with some differences in their lifestyle components, gender, courses of their study and areas of their occupational training [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”

Introduction. Our analysis of studies of the lifestyle of medical students has shown that the students keep an unhealthy lifestyle with some differences in their lifestyle components, regions, and course of university study. Therefore, it is of scientific and practical interest to identify and analyze some factors which influence the formation of a healthy lifestyle for future medical doctors. The aim of the study is to investigate the lifestyle characteristics of the first-year students at the Faculty of Medicine and identify some key predictors of an unhealthy lifestyle. Methods. An observational cross-sectional study of the first-year students of the Medical Faculty at the Kabardino-Balkarian State University named after I.I. HM. Berbekov was conducted. The selection of units of the observation was carried out by the nesting method while maintaining the proportion characteristic of the general population. The sample set reflected the properties of the general population both quantitatively and qualitatively. The study included an anonymous survey using a specially designed questionnaire containing 80 questions to study socio-demographic characteristics that make up lifestyle (physical activity, daily routine, diet schedule and diet composition, the presence of bad habits), well-being, attention to one’s own health, using online Google Forms Designer. Results. More than half of the students surveyed (51.6%) consider their lifestyle not fully consistent with the principles of a healthy lifestyle. Herewith, 75.4% of the students did not adhere to the proper diet, 72.1% of them did not follow the daily scheduled routine, 24.9% of them slept less than 6 hours at night, 20.4% of the students did not engage in any type of physical activity. The number of smoking students was 8.9%, those drinking alcohol was recorded to reach 9.7%. Using the method of multiple logistic regression analysis for predicting lifestyle changes, the key predictors of an unhealthy lifestyle were identified as follows: the presence of bad habits, the number of cigarettes smoked and an unhealthy diet. Conclusion. The completed study made it possible to reveal the characteristics of the lifestyle of the first-year students of the Faculty of Medicine, identify significant predictors of an unhealthy lifestyle, and produce a social profile of a first-year student at the Faculty of Medicine. The results obtained by us can be used to adapt the curricula of the Medical Faculty for the formation of a healthy lifestyle among the students.

Assessment of the Prevalence of Behavioral Risk Factors and Their Impact on the Health of the Adult Population in the Russian Federation

et al. 2023

The objective of this study is to substantiate the system of indicators for assessing behavioral risk factors (tobacco use, alcohol consumption, detrimental diet patterns, lack of physical activity) and their impact on public health in the Russian Federation based on the authors’ methodology for assessing the impact of behavioral risk factors on the health of the adult population using the materials of the statistical survey of the health status of the population (conducted by Rosstat in 2021). For each risk factor, two main indicators were calculated: the prevalence of the risk factor and its impact on public health according to demographic characteristics. The scale of such a risk factor as smoking was assessed in terms of consumption of various types of tobacco and nicotine-containing products and the prevalence of nicotine addiction of varying severity. Alcohol consumption as a behavioral risk factor was assessed in the context of the relationship between the amount of consumption of various alcoholic products and the degree of health risk. The impact of a detrimental diet was estimated by the body mass index for overweight and obesity, with the account to the physical activity of Russian citizens. According to the authors, the proposed set of indicators and specific calculation results can be used to organize continuous monitoring of the prevalence of behavioral risk factors and their impact on the health of the population of the Russian Federation. As a result, a more effective response of the healthcare system and strengthening of interagency cooperation to reduce non-communicable diseases is possible.

Introduction. A contemporary man lives and acts in conditions of increasing intensity and duration of synergistic effects of numerous adverse environmental factors causing a rapid depletion of his physiological reserves. It has been proven that functional indices of the cardiovascular system are a universal indicator of compensatory and adaptive activities of the organism. The purpose of the study was to assess functional capacity of the cardiorespiratory system in young people, depending on social status and level of education. Materials and methods. The study included 1,978 young people aged 18–25 years, with different social status and educational level. Functional capacities were assessed by physiometric properties and estimated indices. Results. We established that blood pressure values were significantly higher in young men compared to women and in students compared to working youth. We also found an inverse correlation between the prevalence of hypertension and the level of education of working young adults. Average group values of the Robinson index were assessed as moderate for men and good for women. Functional capacities of the cardiovascular system in students were generally lower than those among working youth. The group average of the vital capacity index in young men and women was higher and significantly higher than the average value, respectively. Statistically higher values of this index were observed among female students compared to working young women. Conclusions. Our assessment of functional capacities of the cardiorespiratory system showed that the young women had a greater ability to respond to combined effects of adverse environmental factors adequately and securely. This ability enabled them to spend their body reserves more economically and resist diseases. The energy potential of the cardiovascular system of working youth was higher than that of students. The latter, on the other hand, demonstrated higher capacities of the respiratory system. A higher level of education among working young adults was associated with better functional capacities and adaptive reserves of the circulatory system.
