“…In some studies performed among Mexican undergraduate students, similarities have been observed with findings reported in European universities: over 25% overweight, 10% obesity, and 10% underweight [26,27]. In this regard, it has been demonstrated that a high percentage of students who are overweight or obese perceive a low QOL [28].…”

A randomized control trial: training program of university students as health promoters

BackgroundSeveral studies have reported the following as determining factors for the adoption of healthy lifestyles among undergraduate students: gender, socioeconomic level, prior lifestyles, environment, parental lifestyles and health status, career choice, and healthy support networks. However, these factors are influenced by students’ knowledge about healthy lifestyles.Methods/designWe will carry out a randomized trial in a sample of 280 new undergraduate students at the National Autonomous University of Mexico’s Faculty of Higher Studies-Zaragoza (FES-Zaragoza, UNAM). There will be an experimental group (n = 140), comprising 20 students from each of the seven university departments (careers); these students will receive training as university student health promoters through an e-learning course. This course will allow the topics necessary for such promoters to be reviewed. There will be a control group (n = 140), comprising 20 students from each of the seven departments (careers); these students will not undergo the training. Later, the students who comply satisfactorily with the e-learning course will replicate the course to 10 of their classmates. A healthy-lifestyle questionnaire will be given to all the participants, and the parameters established in the self-care card will be recorded before and after the training. The study variables are as follows: (i) independent variable—compliance with the e-learning course; (ii) dependent variables—lifestyles changes prior to the educative intervention (including healthy eating, physical activity, and addiction prevention) and parameters related to health status established in self-care (including weight, body mass index, waist circumference, and hip circumference). Data will be analyzed using Student’s t test and logistic regression analysis odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals. The analysis of the open answers will be carried out with ATLAS. ti 5.5 software.DiscussionHealth promotion among university students should incorporate options that are feasible for and attractive to students. Thus, as proposed in the present protocol, e-learning courses offer excellent possibilities because they allow students to program their learning in their available time without affecting their academic studies.Trial registrationhttp://ISRCTN77787889

“…With regard to the risk factors associated with the health status of Mexican university students, it has been reported that there is a much higher prevalence of overweight and obese males than females [27]. Similarly, over 50% of students reported familial antecedents of high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes mellitus [30].…”

“…La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), considera que el sobrepeso y obesidad es un problema a nivel mundial; esta afirmación es justificada por el estudio NHANES 2007 -2008 (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) publicado por el CDC (Center for Disease Control), en el que se indicó que el sobrepeso y obesidad combinada fueron del 68% (sobrepeso 34.2% y obesidad 33.8%) [1][2][3][4]. En el año 2004 la OMS indicó que el exceso de peso reduce la esperanza de vida, pues, quienes se encuentran dentro de este grupo a los 40 años, tienen una reducción de aproximadamente siete años, debido a que presentan múltiples comorbilidades: Diabetes Mellitus, Enfermedades cardiovasculares, Neoplasias, afecciones respiratorias.…”

RESUMENDurante los últimos años la sociedad ha experimentado profundos cambios en materia de salud. Estos cambios se deben a una serie de factores del entorno que gatillan el desarrollo de determinados estilos de vida, pudiendo ser éstos de riesgo o protectores para la salud de las personas. Objetivo: Indagar respecto al concepto de estilo de vida y los estilos de vida de estudiantes universitarios iberoamericanos según la evidencia disponible. Material y método: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica, manual y electrónica de artículos vinculados a estilos de vida en población universitaria iberoamericana a partir del año 2002. Adicionalmente, se recabó información referida al concepto de estilos de vida y se recopilaron antecedentes estadísticos disponibles del Ministerio de Salud de Chile y de otras entidades que investigan estilos de vida en los jóvenes. Resultados: La mayor parte de los trabajos desarrollados han estudiado de manera descriptiva los estilos de vida. La alimentación y ejercicio, la conducta sexual, el consumo de tabaco, alcohol y drogas, son las prácticas más estudiadas. Conclusión: Los jóvenes universitarios son una población vulnerable que debe ser investigada de manera particular, para crear y evaluar programas de intervención acorde a sus necesidades.Palabras clave: Estilo de vida, factores de riesgo, estudiantes, universidades. ABSTRACTDuring the last years, our society has experienced profound changes on health matters. These changes are due to a number of environmental factors that trigger the development of certain lifestyles which could either endanger or protect people's health. Objective: To research about the concept of lifestyle and Iberoamerican university students' lifestyles considering the available evidence. Methods: A manual and electronic bibliographic review of articles concerning lifestyles in a Iberoamerican university population from the year 2002, was done. In addition, information about the concept of lifestyles and statistical data available from the Ministry of Health in Chile and other research organizations about young people's lifestyles, were collected. Results: Most of the researches carried out, have studied lifestyles in a descriptive form. Nutrition and physical exercising, sexual behavior, tobacco, alcohol and drug consumption are the most studied habits. Conclusions: Young university students are a vulnerable population that must be studied in a particular way in order to create and assess intervention programs according to their needs.
