And 156 students completed the investigation. The urine samples of 24 hour was collected for 3 consecutive days by special device, and the volume, the voids and the time of urine were measured.@*Results@#The average volume of urine per day was 1 279 mL, the average void of urine per day was 6.2, and the average volume of urine per time was 209 mL. The volume of urine and void were mainly at the time of after lunch, the volume, the proportion of the volume and void of urine were 406 mL, 31.0% and 1.7 times respectively. The volumes and the voids of urine were different in different time periods(P<0.05). The volume of urine, the proportion of the volume and the voids of urine were mainly at the time of morning, followed by the afternoon. The average volume of urine per day was 535 mL, the proportion of the volume was 44.1% and the average void of urine was 2.3, in the morning. There were significant differences in the voids of urine, the volumes of urine and the voids of urine in different time periods between boys and girls(χ2=73.71, 47.48, 34.92; 35.17, 21.30, 20.69; 37.02, 25.30, 15.32, P<0.05). The void of urine was negatively correlated with the average volume of urine per time(r=-0.61, P<0.01); the volume of urine was positively correlated with the average volume of urine per time(r=0.79, P<0.01); the void was not correlated with the volume of urine(P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#The urination behaviour of college students in Hebei Province was mainly at the time of after lunch, in the morning and in the afternoon.
