“…Thus, several studies demonstrated that there was a significant relationship between higher levels of education and favorable behavior of health and the level of education of parents, which effects the behavior of health of both children and whole family (Leigh, 1998;Van Oort and Van Lenthe, 2004) The HPLPS scores of students with poor economic status were lower. The study results (Ozbasaran et al, 2004;Ulla and Perez-Fortis 2009;Yılmazel et al, 2013;Ozveren et al, 2013) among university students supported this study. The study performed by Unalan et al in Kayseri (Unalan et al, 2007) observed no relationship between scores of the HPLPS and economic status.…”

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the predictors of health promoting lifestyle behaviour among medical students attending seven of the medical schools in Turkey. Materials and Methods: This crosssectional descriptive study was performed during the second semester of the first and last (sixth) years of study from March to May 2011. A questionnaire with two sections was specifically designed. The first section contained questions on demographic characteristics; the second consisted of the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP) Scale. From a total of 2,309 medical students, 2,118 (response rate 91.7%) completed the questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t, Anova, Tukey test and binary logistic regression analysis. The research was approved by the Ethics Committee of Erciyes University. Results: The mean age was 20.7±2.9 years and it was found that 55.1% were men, 62.3% were in the first year. The overall prevalence of smoking was 19.1%, and for drinking alcohol was 19.4%. HPLP point averages of the first year students were 129.2±17.7, and for last year 125.5±19.0. The overall mean score for the HPLP II was 2.5±0.4. They scored highest on the spiritual growth subscale (2.9±0.5), interpersonal relations (2.8±0.5), health responsibility subscale (2.3±0.5), nutrition subscale (2.3±0.5), stress management subscale (2.3±0.4), and the lowest subscale physical activity (2.0±0.5). It is established that student's grade, educational level of parents, economic status of family, marital status, smoking and general health perception of the students resulted in a significant difference in HPLP Scale total score average and the mean score of majority of subscales.There was no statistically significant difference between the total HPLP when evaluated for gender, chronic disease, alcohol drinking status and BMI. Conclusions: Based on these results, particularly in the curriculum of medical students in order to increase positive health behaviours including physical activity, health promotion issues, and giving more space to aim at behaviour change in these matters is recommended.

“…In agreement to that, study conducted in Turkey reported a positive effect of coursework about an early diagnosis in cancer on health-promoting behaviours of students who study health management [26]. Similar study conducted in our country to evaluate the effect of educational programme on healthy lifestyle behaviours of university students indicated a slight positive impact of the programme on nutritional habits of the students [12].…”

“…University students constitute a large part of the young population [8]. Previous studies on health-promoting behaviours of university students from different specialities [11]- [14] and students of nursing and health sciences [6] [15]- [26] indicated a high level of risky health behaviours among students. Therefore, it is essential for the promotion of their healthy growth to investigate their healthy lifestyle behaviours and influential factors [8].…”
