The transition from school to university is associated with social, structural, and behavioral changes. These changes may be related feelings of loneliness, which are in turn morbidity. authors’ aim was quantify loneliness among students identify its determinants relation transition-related variables (e.g., weight, diet, or physical activity since the high university). Coming across Germany, 689 participated Nutrition Physical Activity Adolescence (NuPhA) survey (16–29 years; 69.5% female)....

Physical activity among students is essential for complimenting sedentary behavior and individuals' future health. This study investigates reasons sport engagement addresses the utilization of university sports programs (USP) by employing a mixed-methods approach.The NuPhA-Study consists quantitative online survey (n=689) followed qualitative interviews (n=20). In survey, we assessed using 24-item battery USP utilization. Quantitative results were further explored data to check completeness...

Healthy eating can prevent individuals across all age groups from developing overweight/obesity and non-communicable diseases such as type 2 diabetes cardiovascular disease.

Thus, it seems necessary develop prevention strategies improve students' habits. ensure that are successful, is important they fit the needs target population. By conducting qualitative...

The transition from school to university has been found be associated with a decline in physical activity (PA). As regular engagement PA plays an important role preventing obesity and various chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes cardiovascular diseases, deeper understanding on barriers that hinder students being physically active is necessary. We therefore conducted mixed-methods study which built, first, conducting quantitative online survey across Germany (n = 689; 69.5% female)...

Abstract Background To assess physical activity (PA), a comparative measurement – evaluating one’s own PA compared to others may be an appropriate method. In previous studies, the use of measurements led effect known as unrealistic optimism (UCO) people being unrealistically optimistic about their behavior. Our aim was this in university students quantify prevalence UCO at group level and draw conclusions on its validity. Methods We used data from Nutrition Physical Activity Adolescence...
