Abstract

A comprehensive study of the health status of girls studying at Tyumen State Medical University showed a high level of awareness about risk factors for developing diseases. Correlations between the lifestyle of girls and awareness of the main and additional risk factors for the development of chronic non-communicable diseases and infections. no sexually transmitted diseases have been identified. The low level of stress resistance in girls is due to lack of time and academic workload, including physical education classes. Chronotype - late evening or early morning did not affect sleep quality and stress resistance in the study group. All the girls had difficulty waking up in the morning and fell asleep late. The sleep deficit was compensated by waking up late on weekends. During the holidays, the rhythm of work and rest changed, shifting to late falling asleep and late waking up in the morning, but almost all the girls felt rested and ready to continue their studies in the new semester. According to the questionnaire and food diary, the diet of most girls was dominated by easily digestible carbohydrates and chicken meat. The diet was unbalanced and irregular, 15.6% of girls were overweight, and 12.8% were underweight. All girls studied in the main or special groups in physical education, but only 22.7% of students led an active lifestyle and were fond of sports, choreography or dancing, and visited fitness studios or a gym. Among girls, a small group was identified with an average degree of dependence on nicotine according to the Fagerström test – 4.7%. More than half of the survey participants have experience of drinking alcohol. Overall, we didn't notice the characteristics typical of Generation Z. It was not possible to identify a single girl who, in terms of psychophysical fitness, psychological and social well-being, met the definition of a healthy person by the World Health Organization.
