Studying citizens’ lifestyles is extremely important for understanding society and the social conditions of the personal lifestyle. Understanding the lifestyles of university students is especially important because they will be the future citizens and professionals who will shape society’s future. The aim of this study was a systematic review of the scientific literature about the use of the FANTASTIC Lifestyle questionnaire in an academic context. The reflective systematic literature review was carried out on PubMed, MEDLINE, Science Direct, and SCIELO databases with the keywords (“FANTASTIC Lifestyle questionnaire” OR “FANTASTICO questionnaire” OR “FANTASTIC questionnaire” OR “FANTASTIC survey” OR “FANTASTIC checklist”) AND (“university students”). The PRISMA criteria for reporting systematic reviews and meta-analyses were applied. The inclusion criteria were the use of the “FANTASTIC Lifestyle questionnaire” instrument for measuring lifestyles, the presentation of quantitative or qualitative results, and psychometric studies. The exclusion criteria were no use of FANTASTIC Lifestyle Questionnaire; other population, no quantitative or qualitative analysis, incomplete articles. The 15 scientific articles included in the study were analyzed. This literature review allowed us to conclude the importance and usefulness/actuality of this questionnaire. Furthermore, the importance of diagnosis should be emphasized, as should the development of strategies and intervention programs for the maintenance or creation of healthy societies.

“…This is distinct from what was previously reported for latin american samples of university students, which tended to report lower proportions of “Good (21% in brazilian students and 18.7% in colombian students)” and higher proportions of “Very good (61.3% in brazilian students and 57.8% in colombian students)” in general university student samples [ 24 - 28 ]. Alternatively, one brazilian sample of medical students tended to report higher proportions of “Good (55.7%)” and lower proportions of “Very good (1.6%)”, while another reported null proportions of “Very good” and lower proportions of “Good (20.6%)” [ 29 , 30 ]. This suggests that our sample strengthens the assumption that medical students tend to present with a lifestyle profile suboptimal for a sample of university students.…”

Background Identifying lifestyle characteristics in higher education can lead to effective interventions that benefit both individuals and communities. Methods This cross-sectional survey-based study was conducted on medical students of a private university using the Fantastic Lifestyle Questionnaire (FLQ) to assess healthy lifestyles, as well as a custom sociodemographic questionnaire. Additionally, correlations among sociodemographic factors and alcohol intake, activity, tobacco and toxins, family and friends, insight, nutrition, type of behavior, career, sleep, seatbelt, stress, and safe sex domains were assessed. Results This study assessed 188 lifestyle profiles, of which 148 have complete data for evaluating the total FLQ score. The majority of evaluated lifestyles were characterized as “good (42.5%)” and “very good (35.8%)”, and correlations were identified between the total FLQ score and between the preclinical and later course phases, the 18-20 years and older age brackets, and any romantic relationship and being single. Additional associations were observed for the other domains with other sociodemographic factors. Conclusion Medical students frequently present with a lifestyle that may be improved through various targeted interventions.

“…Los estilos de vida no saludables o malos valorados a través de la encuesta FANTASTIC, permiten reconocer posibles factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de obesidad y enfermedades metabólicas, además que no se puede predecir si la persona continuará con el nuevo estilo de vida o lo cambiará. (23,24) La crisis económica subyacente y las situaciones de estrés, sedentarismo y ansiedad inducen el aumento de malos hábitos para sobrepeso y obesidad, estas valoraciones de los estilos de vida han permitido crear estrategias de bienestar, el mejor ejemplo es la Organización Mundial de Salud, con su protocolo de actuación para mejorar la salud física durante la cuarentena.

Antecedentes: La pandemia originada por el COVID-19, obligó a la población a tener un confinamiento y distanciamiento social por un largo periodo de tiempo, motivo por lo que optaron por modificar sus hábitos de vida. El personal de mayor riesgo para padecer cambios en sus estilos y hábitos cotidianos fue el personal sanitario. Objetivo: Identificar los hábitos de vida predisponentes a desarrollar sobrepeso y obesidad durante la pandemia por COVID-19, en el personal sanitario del servicio de Pediatría del Hospital General Ambato. Métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo, transversal, se empleó una encuesta conformada por datos sociodemográficos, medidas antropométricas registradas en el año 2019 y 2022 de las fichas médicas ocupacionales del personal sanitario, y el cuestionario FANTASTIC, diseñado por el Departamento de Medicina Familiar de la Universidad McMaster de Canadá, adaptado y validado por especialistas al idioma español, para medir e identificar los estilos de vida de las personas. Resultados: El 38,09% tiene un IMC normal con relación a un estilo de vida regular, mientras que una persona tuvo obesidad grado I y presentó un FANTASTIC malo, sin embargo, existe un 28,57% de la población con un hábito regular de vida y sobrepeso. Conclusiones: Los resultados de este estudio indican que, durante el confinamiento, los hábitos alimentarios y de estilo de vida de la población de pediatría del Hospital General Ambato, sufrieron transiciones, se evidenció una tendencia hacia el hábito regular.
