Risk behaviors associated with life style may deliver in students´ health risk. Therefore, our objective is to describe health risk behaviors perceived by health area university students. For this a 14 item survey about risk behaviors related to physical activity practice, food consumption, drug use, stress level and sleep habits was applied in the health area students. 995 students were interviewed. Most were women (69%) with 20.1 + 1.8 years old. Of these women surveyed, twenty nine percent report no physical activity. Fifty one percent eat 5 fruit and vegetables 4 times/week or more. Only 30% drinks 2 L of water/day. Eighty two percent don’t smoke, 55% don’t drink alcohol and 90% don’t use drugs. Twelve percent reports to be on stress always and 72% sleep more than 7 hours/day only 3 times/week or less. This work concluded that university students of the Health Area don´t have the healthy life style that’s expected.
