The average HLBS-II score ranges between 121-134 in the studies conducted on the healthy lifestyle behaviors of medical students in our country and it is generally similar to the results of our study [13][14][15][16][17] .…”

“…In accordance with our findings, in many studies which were conducted in university students, it was reported that no significant differences were found for total HLBS-II score between genders 15,16,18 . However, Asma et al and Demir & Artantaş found that physical activity scores of male students were significantly higher 14,19 . These results can be interpreted as male students devote most of their spare time to sports activities and more adopting physical activity as an image of a healthy lifestyle compared to female students.…”
