Understanding changes in eating behavior during the transition to university from a self-determination theory perspective: a systematic review

Myles A. Maillet et al.

Summary: During the transition to university, there are changes in eating behavior such as reduced food intake, unhealthy eating, and irregular eating among students. These changes are more prominent among students who move into university residence or off-campus housing, while there are fewer changes among students who continue living at home. However, incoming students with food skills and experience living independently are less likely to experience these changes. The satisfaction of psychological needs among students may explain the observed changes in habits, self-regulation, and motivation.

Study the Effect of an Innovative Educational Program Promoting Healthy Food Habits on Eating Disorders, Mediterranean Diet Adherence and Body Composition in University Students

Alejandro Martinez-Rodriguez et al.

Summary: The university stage is a critical time to address the unhealthy eating habits of students, as they often skip meals and consume high-calorie fast food. Professionals in the field of nutrition and dietetics are also at risk of developing eating disorders due to their extensive knowledge. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of an educational program promoting the Mediterranean diet on eating behaviors and body composition in nutrition and dietetics students.

Physical Activity and Physical Fitness among University Students-A Systematic Review

Vidran Kljajevic et al.

Summary: The aim of this systematic review was to examine the scientific evidence regarding physical activity and physical fitness among university students. The study found that university students generally showed satisfactory levels of physical activity and physical fitness. However, the results varied due to cultural differences and educational systems. Therefore, it is crucial to raise awareness among university students and at least maintain satisfactory levels of physical activity and physical fitness.

Summary: This study investigated the association between body mass index (BMI) and muscular fitness in Chinese college freshmen. It found a nonlinear negative relationship between BMI and physical fitness, with underweight and overweight/obese individuals having poorer physical fitness and muscular fitness. These findings have important implications for public health recommendations and encouraging healthy management in young adults.

Relationship between body dissatisfaction, insufficient physical activity, and disordered eating behaviors among university students in southern China

Ming Hao et al.

Summary: The study revealed that young women in university had a higher level of body dissatisfaction compared to men. For men, factors such as BMI, physical activity score, and restrained eating score were significant predictors of body dissatisfaction, while for women, factors such as BMI, muscle mass, physical activity score, and restrained eating score were significant predictors. University students with high body dissatisfaction showed lower physical activity scores and higher restrained eating scores.

Oliver W. A. Wilson et al.

Summary: This study examined differences in physical activity constraints experienced by college upperclassmen during their freshman year based on sex, race/ethnicity, adiposity, and fitness levels. The findings indicate that a lack of motivation was associated with reduced physical activity since high school and freshman year, and women were less active and reported more constraints compared to men.

Summary: The study in Bangladesh found significant changes in eating habits and lifestyles after the lockdown, with weight gain being associated with physical inactivity, and lack of academic activities at home being linked to changes in weight, meal frequency, screen time, sleeping hours, and sleep quality. Female gender was related to meal frequency and sleep quality. The study concluded that students showed a tendency to adopt normal life after the lockdown.

Aamir R. Memon et al.

Summary: Most university students show no significant association between sleep and physical activity. Only moderate-to-high intensity physical activity may be related to better sleep quality, while moderate-to-vigorous physical activity levels may have a weak negative association with sleep duration. Further research with longitudinal designs and device-based measurements is needed to explore this relationship.

Summary: The study found that during and after the COVID-19 lockdown, highly active individuals experienced a significant decrease in physical activity levels, while moderately active individuals showed a significant increase in vigorous and moderate intensity activity levels during the lockdown. Daily hassles had a small negative predictive effect on post-lockdown physical activity behavior, indicating a potential impact on individual exercise habits post-lockdown that warrants further investigation.
