“…In this study, less than 40% of the nursing students adhered to the guidelines for physical activity in both waves, lower than the social work students and the 68% and 46% reported by Blake, Stanulewicz, and Griffiths (2017) and Blake et al (2011) for preregistered nurses in the United Kingdom and by Mazurek Melnyk et al (2016) for health science students in the United States (44%). In a recent research in US professionals, only 25.3% met recommended guidelines for both aerobic and muscle‐strengthening activity (Song, Nam, Buss, & Lee, 2020). It is important to note that at the final year of studies, the percentage of nursing students that was categorized as inactive or with only mild physical activity was increased (41.7% vs. 23.1%).…”

Aim: The aim of this paper is to compare the evolution of health risk behaviours between undergraduate nursing and social work students. Background: Nursing includes the promotion of health and the shaping of healthy behaviours. An important determinant for providing lifestyle advice is the lifestyle of nurses themselves. Design: Longitudinal comparative study. Measurements: We compared lifestyle risk behaviours (binge drinking, cannabis/hashish/marijuana use, smoking, oral hygiene/toothbrushing, breakfast/fruit/vegetable consumption, physical activity and screen time/sedentary behaviours) using a self-administered standardized questionnaire in nursing (n = 121) and social work (n = 140) students at the beginning (2012) and the end of their studies (2015). Adjusted multivariable logistic/Poisson regression models were performed. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the departments in most risk factors in both assessments. However, in relation to their first year, both nursing and social work students displayed higher relative risk of engaging in more behavioural risk factors at the end of their studies (in delivery/junk food consumption, sunburns, hashish/marijuana use and multiple sexual partners). Social work students displayed better behaviours in physical activity and breakfast intake. Conclusion: Nursing students share the patterns of their nonnursing peers in behavioural risk factors compromising their future health and health-promoting role. We need strategies to safeguard the professional nursing practice.

“…The cross-sectional nature and small to moderate sample size also limits the representativity of our sample. Notably, the women in our study engaged in more MVPA than the general population which limits the generalizability of our findings ( Song et al, 2020 ). Moreover, the small to moderate sample size reduces the power of our findings, particularly those of the subgroup analysis.…”

While the beneficial impact of moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) on blood pressure is well-understood, the relationship between sedentary time (ST) and blood pressure is less clear. We aimed to evaluate the associations between ST and BP in reproductive-age women. This cross-sectional analysis consisted of 431 women enrolled in the Placenta as a Window to Maternal Microvascular Disease Risk study at Magee-Womens Hospital. Blood pressure and self-reported physical activity and ST were collected 8–10 years after delivery at study enrollment. Logistic and linear regression models examined associations between ST and blood pressure and adjusted for MVPA. Women with the highest amount of ST were less likely to be normotensive and more likely to have elevated blood pressure and Stage II hypertension (p = 0.02). Each additional hour of ST was associated with an increased risk of Stage II hypertension (OR 1.12 [1.01–1.24]) and higher systolic blood pressure (0.45 mmHg [0.08–0.82]), diastolic blood pressure (0.29 mmHg [0.02–0.56]), and mean arterial pressure (0.34 mmHg [0.05–0.63]), after adjustment for covariates. This relationship was more apparent in women who participated in less MVPA (bottom 50th percentile) versus more MVPA (top 50th percentile). ST is associated with higher blood pressure, particularly in women who engage in less aerobic activity, and could serve as an important intervention target for reducing blood pressure and hypertension during the reproductive years.

“…Nearly 80% (79.2%) of providers were female. The providers reported personally engaging in about 3 h of physical activity per week and 1.6 days on average of weight training, with about half believing they met national guidelines for exercise, approximately double the reported national average of about 25% of healthcare workers (Song et al., 2020).…”
