Risky behaviours are prevalent among university students and may affect academic achievements. This study aimed to evaluate the associations between academic achievements, satisfaction with studies and risky behaviours among first-year students of Kaunas (Lithuania) universities. Three cross-sectional surveys were conducted in 2000, 2010, and 2017. The self-administered questionnaires were filled in during lectures and assessed frequency and amount of alcohol consumption, drinking problems (CAGE test), smoking and drug use frequency, and academic achievements. The associations between risky behaviours and academic achievements were analysed using multivariable logistic regression analysis. Altogether 3325 students (1341 men and 1984 women) aged 20.0 (1.5) years participated in the survey. The proportion of students who consumed alcohol at least once a week and drank 11 or more standard alcoholic units (SAU) a week decreased. Every fifth student reported a drinking problem. Daily smoking prevalence declined, and drug use increased among male students. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that frequent alcohol consumption and problem drinking were associated with low importance of good grades. Students who rated their academic performance below average and were dissatisfied with studies were more likely to consume ≥11 SAU a week. Daily smoking was more common among students who reported low importance of good grades and academic performance below average. A higher prevalence of drug use was found only in male students who declared low importance of good grades. Health promoting interventions at the individual and student community level are required to reduce the prevalence of substance use and improve the academic achievements of students.

“…First, during the COVID-19 endemic phase, no significant difference was noted in the level of health management execution between sexes. South Korean education, based on gender equality, generally shows no significant differences in how boys and girls perceive and execute various aspects of health management [ 26 ]. This non-differentiation in gender perceptions and actions was being maintained even during the COVID-19 pandemic when online and offline classes coexisted [ 15 ].…”

This study aimed to analyze health management awareness among South Korean elementary school students in COVID-19 endemic areas. Methods. Using convenience sampling, 675 South Korean elementary school students (age 11–12 years old) were selected as participants in July 2023. Data for the study were collected via online and offline surveys between July and August 2023. The collected data were subjected to frequency, reliability, and multicollinearity analyses, independent sample t-tests, and importance-performance analysis (IPA). Results. The findings indicated the following: (1) There was no significant difference in health management performance between male and female children. (2) Children who had not experienced COVID-19 infection, had a higher level of “hygiene management” performance. (3) Among children who did not wear masks during physical activity, “mental health management” and “physical activity management” performance were higher, while “hygiene management” performance was lower. (4) The IPA matrix analysis revealed that, compared to the COVID-19 pandemic period, “physical activity management”, “dietary habit management”, and “sleep management” still required improvement, while “hygiene management” and “disease management” appeared to have decreased due to the relaxation of epidemic control efforts. Conclusion. As per the study’s findings, schools, local communities, and families should make efforts to develop and implement preventive and individualized health management programs that consider the individual characteristics of their children.

“…The human body is composed of a variety of chemical elements, and these chemical substances that make up the human body are called body composition, healthy people will maintain a relatively balanced proportion of body composition, once there is an imbalance in the body composition, it will have an impact on the human body's growth and development, as well as the level of health [1][2].Lifestyle refers to habits, attitudes, and systems of living, which are analysed at the medical level as health-related behaviours in people's daily lives [3].With the improvement of people's living standards, lifestyle is also undergoing a great transformation, which is dominated by changes in dietary structure and changes in exercise, which are mainly presented as a decrease in the amount of exercise and an increase in the proportion of animal food consumption [4][5].However, by the in uence of lifestyle, the incidence of a variety of chronic diseases has subsequently increased, and the incidence of hypertension, obesity, diabetes and other diseases in the youth population has increased signi cantly, and the relationship between lifestyle and personal health has gradually become a popular academic research [6][7].…”

Objective To explore the results of the survey on eating habits and nutritional status of university students and the correlation analysis between different lifestyles and body composition. Methods College students enrolled in a university were selected as the study subjects, and a total sample size of 993 cases was included in this study from November 2021 to December 2021 to analyze the effects and correlations of different lifestyles on body composition through questionnaires as well as body composition measurements. Results (1) Living habits. 3.02% of students smoked cigarettes, 9.96% of male students smoked cigarettes, and 0.42% of female students smoked cigarettes; 17.42% of students drank alcohol; 47.83% went online for 2-3h per day, and those who went online for ≥4h were 16.01%, 48.54% studied for 9-10h per day, and 20 48.74% of students slept less than 7h;(2) Analysis of the questionnaire on the frequency of raw and simplified food for college students. 46.32% of college students could manage to eat vegetables every day, 31.02% of college students could ensure that they ate fruits 3-4 days a week, 21.15% of college students hardly ate fish and shrimp, and 16.11% of college students could ensure that they ate dairy products every day. In terms of the frequency of major food intake types per week, there was a significant difference between male and female students in terms of the frequency of food intake types, except for soya bean products (P < 0.05);(3) Analysis of body composition of college students. The percentage of male students' body fat is significantly lower than that of female students (P < 0.05), and the percentage of male students' body water, body protein, and body mineral is higher than that of female students (P < 0.05); the rate of female students' insufficient body water content, the rate of insufficient protein content, and the rate of body fat content exceeding the standard are higher than that of male students (P < 0.05);(4) Analysis of nutritional status of college students. The hidden obesity of female students is significantly higher than that of male students (P < 0.05). The percentage of malnutrition in male students is higher than that of female students (P < 0.05);(5) Correlation analysis of body fat and protein content of university students with lifestyle. The frequency of fruit consumption was an independent influence on the body fat and protein content of college students (P < 0.05). Conclusion College students' dietary structure is unbalanced, and sleep time is generally shorter, most college students' body protein content is insufficient, and female college students' hidden obesity problem is prominent, and increasing the frequency of fruit consumption can effectively improve the proportion of protein in college students' body.
