Author/Year | Sample | Country | Methodology | FLQ (Dimensions Evaluated) | Aim | Main Results |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Murillo-Llorente et al., 2022 [9] | N = 501 | Spain | Cross-sectional study | - Nutrition; - Tobacco; - Sleep. | - to validate the FANTASTIC questionnaire in a Spanish university population to report on the participants’ lifestyle. | - FANTASTIC questionnaire has good internal consistency (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.797) and good construct validity (Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin value was 0.786). |
Ruiz-Zaldibar et al., 2022 [5] | N = 488 | Spain | Observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional survey study | - All dimensions | - to investigate the perceived changes in lifestyle behaviors among Spanish university students during COVID-19-related confinement. | - Students’ lifestyles worsened during the lockdown (female students were especially affected compared to their male peers (p = 0.010)). Female students change the “Good” standard of living for lower levels (classified as “Moderate,” “Low,” and “Worrying”); - Social/emotional behaviors were deeply affected, while confinement could be a protective factor against previous toxic habits. |
Navarro-Cruz et al., 2021 [14] | N = 639 | Chile | Cross-sectional study | - All dimensions | - to evaluate the association of differences in dietary behaviors and lifestyle with self-reported weight gain during the COVID-19 lockdown in Chile. | - Different dietary behaviors (mainly consumption of industrialized foods) during the lockdown, as well as quality-of-life deterioration, were the main factors associated with self-reported weight gain during the lockdown. Differences in lifestyle (odds ratio [OR] = 14.21); worsening eating habits (OR = 3.43). |
Sousa et al., 2021 [19] | N = 150 | Portugal | Cross-sectional study | - All dimensions | - to explore the mediation role of self-regulation on health-related behaviors adoption or maintenance, mental health, and well-being during the COVID-19 confinement in a sample of adults in Portugal. | - Self-regulation had direct effects on healthy habits and mental health, and indirect effects on well-being and mental health mediated by healthy habits; - Healthy habits exerted direct effects on well-being perception and mental health. |
Gonçalves et al., 2020 [10] | N = 495 | Portugal | Descriptive-correlational study | - All dimensions | - to analyze the propensity of young adults towards nomophobia and lifestyle. | - Positive and moderate correlation between nomophobia and psychopathological symptoms (Somatization (r = 0.322), Obsession-Compulsion (r = 0.394), Interpersonal Sensitivity (r = 0.390), Depression (r = 0.374), Anxiety (r = 0.340), Hostility (r = 0.384), Paranoid Ideation (r = 0.381), and Psychoticism (r = 0.382); p < 0.001. |
Machul et al., 2020 [12] | N = 444 | Poland | Cross-sectional study | - All dimensions | - to analyze the lifestyle practices, life satisfaction, and level of perceived stress of Polish and foreign students. | - Polish students obtained higher (mean = 36.26 ± 6.21) results in FLQ, and stress levels than foreign students (mean = 33.55 ± 6.71); - The self-assessment of their health condition, lifestyle, and rank associated with being healthy correlated with the FLQ, Satisfaction with Life Scale, and Perceived Stress Scale. |
González-Cantero et al., 2017 [11] | N = 320 | Mexico | Cross-sectional and correlational study | - All dimensions | - to determine the relationship between the psychological capital (CapPsi) and lifestyle of Mexican university students. | - CapPsi improves lifestyle; resilience (r = 0.505, p < 0.01); hope (r = 0.432, p < 0.01); optimism (r = 0.412, p < 0.01); and self-efficacy (r = 0.400, p < 0.01). The CapPsi (R2 = 0.32) explained 33.3 percent of the total variance of the lifestyle. However, further research is necessary to determine the CapPsi influence on the adoption and/or maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. |
Martinez-Torres et al., 2017 [13] | N = 890 | Colombia | Cross-sectional study | - All dimensions | - to investigate the prevalence and the associated variables of the Metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Colombian collegiate students. | - The prevalence of MetS was 6.0%, and it was higher in men than women; - The predisposing factors for having a MetS include being male, over 23 years old, overweight or obese, and having an unhealthy waist-to-height ratio. |
Ramírez-Vélez et al., 2017 [20] | N = 1687 | Colombia | Cross-sectional study | - Alcohol; - Tobacco; - Physical activity. | - to investigate body fat percentage and fat mass index thresholds for the prediction of metabolic syndrome in students. | - Based on the International Diabetes Federation criteria, both index thresholds seem to be good tools to identify university students with unfavorable metabolic profiles. |
Tassini et al., 2017 [6] | N = 57 | Brazil | Descriptive, cross-sectional, population study | - All dimensions | - to compare the factors determining the quality of life of students in the healthcare area using the FLQ. | - The overall rating was “regular”, and none of the participants scored in the “very good” or “excellent” categories. - Domains requiring change include nutrition and physical activity among medical students and cigarette, drug, and alcohol consumption among physical therapy students. |
Rodríguez-Gázquez et al., 2016 [17] | N = 380 | Colombia | Cross-sectional study | - All dimensions | - to assess the lifestyles of nursing students at a Colombian public university. | - An important proportion of university students have inadequate lifestyles (poor in 9.2%, fair in 31.3%), which means deferred risks for the development of chronic diseases. |
Ramírez-Vélez et al., 2015 [16] | N = 5921 | Colombia | Cross-sectional study | -All dimensions | - to assess the lifestyle of a sample of university students. | - “good lifestyle” was perceived by 57.4% of females and 58.5% of males; - Despite the students being evaluated for referring to themselves as having a healthy lifestyle, stated behavior involving a health risk were observed in the domains concerning nutrition, physical activity, and smoking. |
Pacheco et al. 2014 [15] | N = 716 | Brazil | Cross-sectional study | - All dimensions | - to determine the association between lifestyle and sociodemographic variables of freshmen attending a state university in southern Brazil. | - Inadequate lifestyle prevalence (5.3%). - Adjusted analysis results indicated that students over 20 years old, whose mothers’ formal education lasted less than nine years had a higher risk of having an inadequate lifestyle. |
Silva et al., 2014 [18] | N = 707 | Portugal | Cross-sectional study | - All dimensions | - to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the FLQ in a group of higher education students in Portugal | - The instrument demonstrated good overall internal consistency for an instrument used to measure a latent variable; - The construct validity tested by the instrument’s classification capacity in four, three, and two categories was 67.6%, 67.6%, and 100%, respectively, with a Kappa index of 0.55, 0.55, and 1.00; - The FLQ is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing young adults’ lifestyles. |
Ferrari et al., 2013 [21] | N = 236 | Brazil | Descriptive and cross-sectional study | - Tobacco; - Alcohol and drugs; - Nutrition. | - to determine the prevalence of and factors associated with body image dissatisfaction among physical education students enrolled in a public university. | - The prevalence of body image dissatisfaction was 69.5%; 44.1% were dissatisfied with excess weight; - A Body Mass Index ≥ 25.0 kg/m2 was associated with dissatisfaction with excess weight; - Factors associated with dissatisfaction with slimness were being male, eating an unhealthy diet, and smoking tobacco. |
