Abstract

Objective To investigate the current status of health-promoting lifestyle (HPL) among students of a traditional Chinese medicine university,and explore the correlation with body mass index (BMI). Methods Self-designed questionnaire and HPLP scales were used to conduct a self-filling and anonymous survey among 3,025 college students from a traditional Chinese medicine university, and SPSS 21.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results The average HPLP score was (2.50±0.42) points, of which 1350 (47.9%) had healthy lifestyle. Among the six dimensions of HPLP, interpersonal relationship score was the highest (2.88±0.52) and exercise score was the lowest (2.08±0.58). There was no significant difference in HPLP scores among students with different body mass index (BMI), but there was significant difference in exercise dimension (F=3.587,P=0.013), and there was a positive correlation between BMI and exercise scores within a certain range of values(rs=0.052,P=0.006). BMI and exercise score were positively correlated between female students and Chinese medical studentsrs=0.053,P=0.019;rs=0.066,P=0.007). Conclusion The health promotion lifestyle level of students was not high, and the score of physical exercise dimension was low.
