Health-Forming Lifestyle Aspects in Students of Various Higher Education Programs

Abstract

The present research featured the lifestyle of students of various educational programs at Kemerovo State University. The students were asked to give a subjective assessment of their life style. Lifestyle was understood as a set of implemented health-forming activities, e.g. time-table, diet, physical activity, habits, etc. The integrated assessment of the survey results showed that 48,5 % of the respondents led a healthy lifestyle, 9,2 % led an unhealthy lifestyle, and the remaining 42,3 % claimed to stick to a satisfactory lifestyle. The comparative analysis of all the factors revealed that the majority of students with a healthy lifestyle studied at the institutes of social psychology and philology. The authors believe that it is important to introduce students to the motives and skills of healthy lifestyle integrated at various levels of the lifestyle structure.
