Abstract

Physical activity helps improve health, prevent disease and improve the quality of life for the community. Objectives: the study aims to: "Describe the current state of physical activity in final-year medical students at Hanoi Medical University in 2023 and analyze some related factors." Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 318 final-year medical doctor students of 4 majors (general doctor, preventive medicine, maxillofacial doctor and traditional medicine) studying at Hanoi Medical University. The toolkit is designed to be collected online by investigator. Logistic regression analysis was used to find the association between some factors and recommended physical activity. Results: The main findings showed that the rate of medical students who did not meet the WHO’s recommendations was 46.5%. The percentage of students with severe, moderate, low/no physical activity was 7.2%; 44.3%; and 48.4%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression showed that the likelihood of having WHO’s recommendation of physical activity among the non-obese groups (BMI<25) was higher than the obese group (BMI≥25) (OR = 2.3; 95%CI: 1 - 5.25); The group with good/excellent academic performance was higher than the group of students with fair academic performance (OR = 1.86; 95% CI: 1.07 - 3.23); and the group without internet addiction was higher than the group with internet addiction (OR=1.66; 95%CI: 1.11 - 2.7). Conclusions: The rate of students with physical activity at the recommended level is not high, there needs to be behavioral changes, healthy living, and increased physical activity in students.
