“…However, it should be noted that social and personal factors have an impact on how students experience this transition. In the study developed by Tassini et al (2017), students had difficulty in reconciling leisure, sleep, free time, and activities demanded by the university, and reported feeling tired and stressed with the daily routine, which is in line with the results of this study in what concerns the correlation between the domains of Physical Activity/Affiliation, Nutrition, Sleep/Stress, Work/Type of personality, and Insight. Thus, individuals who have better sleep quality and a greater stress management ability are happier and more optimistic and positive about life.…”

Background: The identification of nursing students' health profile is essential to develop healthy academic communities. Objective: To analyze students' health profile with a view to designing intervention strategies based on the PRE-CEDE-PROCEED model. Methodology: Quantitative study. Data were collected using the Portuguese version of the following questionnaires: the Fantastic Lifestyle Assessment, the Stunkard Figure Rating Scale, the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, and the Psychological General Well-Being Index. A total of 224 undergraduate and postgraduate nursing students participated in this study. Results: Students' overall lifestyle is very good. However, lower scores were found in the Physical activity/Affiliation, changes in Nutrition, altered sleep and low stress management ability, Work/Personality type, and Insight, which suggests that students are less optimistic and positive about life. Conclusion:The intervention plan includes support, education, protection, and prevention should be adapted to students' individual needs and integrated into the curricula.

“…The aim of this study was to analyse the lifestyle of the elderly aged 65+ with the use of the Fantastic Life Inventory (FLI) designed by Wilson, Nielsen and Ciliska [17]. Although this tool is also effectively used in research on the lifestyle of young people [18,19,20], to the best knowledge of the authors of the current study there is no research with the use of this tool among people aged 65+. Additionally, to-date the FLI has not been used in Poland.…”

It is estimated that the main cause of death in developing and developed countries are cardiovascular diseases [4,13].…”

“…Therefore, it is currently believed that the most effective method of reducing the epidemiological risk of cardiovascular diseases is adequate prevention. Assessment of cardiovascular risk and attempts to modify or eliminate existing risk factors in individual patients are basic preventive measures [18,20,21,22].To-date, research has shown that a healthy lifestyle is a decisive factor in maintaining and strengthening public health [23,24,25,26,27].…”

Introduction. The biggest threat to life are cardiovascular diseases which are a serious problem in Poland, Europe, and worldwide. Therefore, it has become important to have proper health behaviours which significantly eliminate the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases. Objective. The main aim of this study is to present factors that determine health behaviours of the 50+ population with cardiovascular diseases. Materials and metod. The study was carried out among 411 individuals aged over 50 with cardiovascular diseases. The method used was a diagnostic survey. The study involved an authors' survey questionnaire and the Inventory of Health-Related Behaviours (IHB). A detailed statistical analysis was carried out in the R programme, version 3.5.1. Results. The most common disease in the study group was coronary heart disease -63.75%. The majority of respondents showed (via Inventory of Health-Related Behaviour [IHB]) that the level of their health behaviours was moderate -41.12%; the highest level of health behaviours in the study group were related to health practices, while a slightly lower level was observed in the area of positive mental attitude. Statistical significance was also found between the level of intensity of health behaviours and age, gender, BMI, place of residence, education, professional activity and marital status of the respondents. Conclusions. Anti-health behaviours were predominant among the respondents; significant demographic and social factors determining health behaviour were determined, such as age and gender; a high level of health behaviours was found in the group of women with higher education and correct body mass, living in cities and married.
