Analysis of influencing factors of subhealth state among medical students at a medical university
Objective To understand the subhealth state of medical students at a medical university,analyze the influencing factors,and propose feasible intervention measures to promote their subhealth state.Methods From November 2022 to March 2023,a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to conduct an on-site questionnaire survey using the Sub-health Measurement Scale Version 1.0(SHMS V1.0)among 2 865 medical students at a medical university in Heilongjiang Province.Influencing factors of subhealth state were analyzed using univariate analysis and logistic regression.Results A-mong the 2 865 medical students,the total score of SHMS V1.0 was 66.07±12.76,with 1 783 individuals under the sub-health state,427 healthy individuals,and 655 diseased individuals,resulting in a subhealth detection rate of 62.2% .Univa-riate analysis results indicate that the subhealth health status detection rate among medical students varied significantly ac-cording to family location,only-child status,father's education level,mother's education level,monthly per capita family in-come,physical examination status,prior health education,alcohol consumption,weekly breakfast frequency,sugary bever-age consumption frequency,weekly exercise frequency,and daily sleep duration(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis re-vealed that mother's education level(OR=0.790),physical examination status(OR=0.724),whether the student had pri-or health education(OR=0.802),alcohol consumption(OR=1.272),sugary beverage consumption frequency(OR=1.705),weekly exercise frequency(OR=0.703),and daily sleep duration(OR=0.510)were factors influencing the sub-health health status of medical students(P<0.05).Conclusion The detection rate of subhealth health status among medi-cal students at this medical university remains high.Factors such as mother's education level,physical examination status,prior health education,alcohol consumption,sugary beverage consumption frequency,weekly exercise frequency,and daily sleep duration significantly influence the subhealth health status of medical students.Implementing various measures can ef-fectively promote the subhealth health status of medical students,including promoting health education vigorously,establis-hing special health examination funds,focusing on the intergenerational transmission effects of higher education on health,and partnering with enterprises to provide targeted assistance to financially disadvantaged students.
