ABSTRACT
The insertion of men in the university environment is a complex and worrying phenomenon permeated by vulnerabilities, which are associated with the adoption of risky behaviors for health. The objective of this study was to evaluate the health behavior of Brazilian university men. A cross-sectional study with 663 men students. The study used a questionnaire on health-related life habits. All the questions were extracted from the Surveillance of Risk and Protection Factors for Chronic Diseases through Telephone Interviews. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals and chi-square tests. The analysis of the joint relationships between nutritional status, physical activity and diet was conducted by the multiple correspondence analysis. Of the 663 students, 67.8% were between 20-29 years of age, 69.2% consumed alcohol, 34.5% did not do physical activity, and 34.2% were overweight. The students who did not engage in physical activity smoked more (p=0.05), consumed less fruit (p<0.01), less salad (p<0.01), and consumed full fat milk (p=0.05). In the physically inactive students, a high prevalence of acquiring diabetes mellitus (p<0.01) and high cholesterol (p<0.01) was observed. University students were found to have unhealthy lifestyles. More public policies aimed at promoting preventive measures at universities are needed to encourage healthier health behaviors(AU)
RESUMEN
La inserción de los varones en el ámbito universitario es un fenómeno complejo y preocupante permeado por vulnerabilidades, las cuales están asociadas a la adopción de conductas de riesgo para la salud. El objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar el comportamiento de salud de los varones universitarios brasileños. Estudio transversal con 663 varones. El estudio utilizó un cuestionario sobre hábitos de vida relacionados con la salud. Todas las preguntas fueron extraídas de la Vigilancia de Factores de Riesgo y Protección de Enfermedades Crónicas mediante entrevistas telefónicas (Vigitel). Se utilizó la regresión logística para estimar los odds ratios (OR) y los intervalos de confianza del 95% and pruebas del test chi-cuadrado. El análisis de las relaciones conjuntas entre estado nutricional, actividad física y dieta se realizó mediante el análisis de correspondencias múltiples. De los 663 varones, el 67,8% tenía entre 20 y 29 años, el 69,2% consumía alcohol, el 34,5% no hacía actividad física y el 34,2% tenía sobrepeso. Los varones que no realizaron actividad física fumaron más (p = 0,05), consumieron menos fruta (p<0,01), menos ensalada (p<0,01) y consumieron leche entera (p = 0,05). En los varones físicamente inactivos, se observó una alta prevalencia de diabetes mellitus (p<0,01) y colesterol alto (p<0,01). Se descubrió que los varones universitarios tenían estilos de vida poco saludables. Se necesitan más políticas públicas orientadas a promover medidas preventivas en las universidades para fomentar comportamientos de salud más saludables(AU)
