LEVANDOSKI, Gustavo y TROMBETTA-ZANNIN, Paulo Henrique. Perception of the lifestyle of mechanical engineering students in Curitiba, Brazil. Mem. Inst. Investig. Cienc. Salud [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.1, pp.33-41. ISSN 1812-9528. https://doi.org/10.18004/mem.iics/1812-9528/2017.015(01)33-041.
The aim of this study was to investigate the perceptions of university students about their lifestyle habits. The present investigation was a cross-sectional, descriptive and non-probabilistic study performed on 99 students of Mechanical Engineering from Curitiba, Brazil. The results indicated that 56.3% of students self-assessed their lifestyle habits as close to positive life habits while 66% showed positive indicators of healthy habits contributing to their health care. The nutrition variable was reported by 57.1% as the first component of choice in case they needed a change of lifestyle. Thus, to the study participants, the care with the lifestyle did not represent an evident preoccupation at the stage of their life. Some students declared that a stable future financial condition would allow better life habits.
