Clinical Trial Summary

Assess the Health-promoting Lifestyle behaviors of Sohag University students. Identify socio-demographic determinants of the Health-promoting Lifestyle behaviors

Description:

Health is the most fundamental criterion on which man's life is dependent, and it has always been an issue throughout history. Health, according to a definition by the World Health Organization (WHO), is physical, spiritual, mental, social, emotional, and occupational tranquility, and not just the absence of illness. This definition, moreover, has been reintroduced as "people's social and economic potency and dynamicity". Lifestyle is one of the most important determinants of health promotion that is influenced by cultural, economic, political and religious factors. Lifestyle includes day-to-day behaviors and functions of individuals in job, activities, fun, and diet. According to WHO, 60% of related factors to individual health and quality of life are correlated to lifestyle . Millions of people follow an unhealthy lifestyle. Hence, they encounter illness, disability and even death. Problems like metabolic diseases, joint and skeletal problems, cardio-vascular diseases, hypertension, overweight, violence and so on, can be caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. The relationship of lifestyle and health should be highly considered. Globally, Non-communicable diseases NCDs are the leading cause of premature deaths and chronic disabilities and are responsible for almost 70% of all deaths worldwide.
