Inclusion criteria: sutents of Salud Comunitaria I, Medicina, 2019.
Seven hundred and sexteen students were invited to participate in the first half of 2019, the response rate was 87.4% (n 626). 83% obtained a score >70 points which would correspond to healthy living habits 8% between 59 to 69 (adequate), 4% between 41 to 58 (changes are required) and 5% ≤40 indicating that they did not have them. 72.54% report a good relationship with others, 74.3% do not perform physical activity, 53.18% have sleeping troubles, 47.95% have problems managing stress and tension, 48.05% enjoy free time, 43.31% avoid junk food, 36.73% feel comfortable with their weight, 81.28% consider oral health important and 69.11% visit the dentist, 97.5% perform pregnancy prevention, 55.78 % avoid sexual relations under the influence of alcohol and 79.41% value affection in sexual relations. 66.36% respect safety regulations, 67.57% use a seatbelt on vehicles and 86.39% do not drive under the influence of alcohol. 39.68% consume energy drinks, 14.97% smoke, 15.61% consume psychoactive substances. 91.36% are satisfied with themselves and with what they do, 50.91% know how to say no. 52.73% recycle sometimes. The analysis of the variables by age and sex is not included in the summary.
Although the scale classifies more than 70% of the population with healthy habits, lifestyles related to physical activity, nutrition, alcohol consumption and psychoactive substances and time out were inadequate. Collective intervention strategies such as awareness workshops or talks / debates that allow modifying these risk factors should be generated.
