“…Дослідження, які були проведені до початку повномасштабного воєнного вторгнення показали, що біля 80% здобувачів досить добре ознайомлені з інформацією щодо важливості здорового способу життя, але при цьому впроваджували ці знання у власне життя тільки біля 20-40% [15]. Оскільки достатня рухова активність позитивно впливає на всі аспекти здоров'я, а також розумову працездатність, акцентування уваги здобувачів на важливості рухової активності й підтримці балансу праці та відпочинку під час навчання і життєдіяльності в цілому є сьогодні одним з нагальних завдань.…”

Annotation. The article examines the peculiarities of the mental health, well-being and lifestyle of students of various specialties during wartime, with an emphasis on medical students. The study aims to assess the characteristics of behavioral factors, the educational process and students' mental health in the dynamics during the war. In April-June 2022 and 2023, an online survey of students of 12 universities of Ukraine (n=415, female gender 57.4%, average age 17.9±0.03 years) was conducted. QRAPH, RCADS-25, and CATS questionnaires were used. The article presents the results of variance analysis, analyzed conjugation tables, conducted correlation analysis using the STATISTICA 8.0 program. Odds ratio (OR) and confidence interval (CI) were calculated using MedCalc. In 2023, 30.8±2.7% of students had signs of anxiety, 33.9±2.8% had signs of depression, and 42.2±2.9% had signs of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The largest proportion of persons with anxiety and depression was among medical students (52.8±5.9%). A trend towards a decrease in anxiety and depressive symptoms among students of all majors compared to the previous year was revealed. Additionally, there was a significant decrease in the proportion of students with clinical signs of PTSD by 10.8% (χ2=6.4; p<0.05). In 2023, there was also a decrease in the duration of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sleep and an increase in light physical activity and sedentary behavior. It was found that 60 min/day of MVPA reduced the chances of developing depressive symptoms by 2.7 times (p<0.001). For anxiety disorders, this probability was 1.8 times (p<0.01). The obtained results indicate the importance of maintaining mental health and an active lifestyle among students, especially during wartime. In order to preserve the health and working capacity of students, it is necessary to carry out constant monitoring of both behavioral factors and indicators of mental health with the development and implementation of hypodynamia preventive measures.

In the context of the constant increase in the burden of chronic non-communicable diseases, the World Health Organization's (WHO) activities are aimed at developing policies and strategies in the field of non-communicable disease (NCD) prevention, which have been continuously evolving. The work is dedicated to examining the sequential policy of the WHO outlined in documents regarding the link between nutrition and the development of non-communicable diseases. The objective of this study is to identify the main stages of WHO's policy on healthy nutrition as a key prerequisite for preventing the development of non-communicable diseases and outline the corresponding measures in Ukraine. Materials and methods: informational, bibliographic, normative-legal. The study utilized systematic-structural, formal-logical, bibliographic, and non-formalized (traditional) analysis methods. An analysis of WHO's policy on healthy nutrition as a factor in preventing the development of chronic non-communicable diseases has been conducted. The key stages of policy development and decision-making at the global level over the past three decades have been identified. It has been determined that the evolution of the role of nutrition within WHO's policy has progressed from urging governments to develop national food policies and create national action plans in the 1990s to global strategies and actions that have taken place in the 21st century. The basic WHO documents regarding the link between nutrition and the development of chronic diseases have been examined, as well as the expansion of understanding the content and necessity of healthy nutrition. The implementation of WHO's policy in Ukraine has been highlighted: the "National Action Plan on Non-communicable Diseases to Achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030" (2018) has been developed and implemented, serving as a roadmap for the development of a series of guiding documents. The most important of these documents pertain to the organization and standards of healthy nutrition for children. However, the formation of a national regulatory and legal framework regarding healthy nutrition has not yet been completed. It has been determined that Ukraine needs to improve its policy on limiting the use of saturated fats, industrially produced trans fatty acids, and marketing unhealthy food and non-alcoholic beverages targeted at children. There is a need for extensive informational and educational activities to promote WHO's recommendations on healthy nutrition.

Objective: We studied the knowledge of young people about principles of healthy nutrition as one of the main elements of health preservation and following these principles by them after finishing school. Methods: We performed a sociological survey of 284 people (boys and girls), mainly 17-18 years of age, who entered higher educational institutions of Ukraine after finishing school. The survey concerned with the study of youth’s knowledge about principles of a healthy nutrition as one of the main elements of a healthy lifestyle. We studied a self-concept of one’s own lifestyle and health control, knowledge of the role of adherence to the principles of healthy nutrition in health preservation, some aspects of food behavior, impact of nutrition features on the formation of chronic non-infectious pathology. We used the questionnaire method. The results were processed with the help of generally accepted statistical methods. Results: Despite the declared knowledge, a sufficiently significant part of the respondents was found not to follow the principles of healthy nutrition and lifestyle. Conclusion: The findings indicate a need to develop special educational programs on the formation of the skills of healthy lifestyle and nutrition for schoolchildren of general education institutions in order to develop their skills for the healthy lifestyle and nutrition.
