Abstract

 ackground: Although Medical students gain essential knowledge about Healthy lifestyles, studies show that this group does not behave in a healthy way and no effective lifestyle courses are also available for this group. Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the health-promoting lifestyle in medical and non-Medical students in Zanjan during 2016-2017. Methods: The population of this comparative-descriptive study included all students studying at the medical and non-medical universities of Zanjan Province. Census and randomized cluster sampling techniques were used for selecting medical and non-Medical students, respectively. The senior students who showed their tendency could participate in the study. In addition, the data were collected by demographic information and health-promoting behavior (HPLPII) questionnaires. Finally, the data were analyzed through using descriptive (frequency, frequency percentage, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential (independent ttest and the Chi-square) statistics in SPSS 16 and P<0. 05 was considered as the significance level. Results: There was a significant difference regarding some demographic variables (sex, educational degree, dwelling place, average family income, the number of family members, along with mother’ s education and employment status) between medical and non-Medical students. The mean and standard deviation of healthpromoting lifestyle score in medical and non-Medical students were 2. 52± 0. 39 and 2. 53± 0. 41, respectively, indicating a moderate level. Based on independent t-test, health accountability was higher in Medical students compared to non-Medical students although physical activity and the nutritional habits of Medical students were weaker in this group as compared to non-Medical students (P<0. 05). However, no significant difference was observed between the mean of the other subgroups and the total score of the health-promoting lifestyle of the two groups (P>0. 05). Conclusion: Based on the results, more accurate reviewing and planning are necessary regarding improving the health-promoting lifestyle, especially in the field of physical activity and nutritional habits while removing health promotion lifestyle barriers among students, especially Medical students.
