Abstract

Background: E-cigarette use has been linked with multiple morbidities and changes in health behavior. This study investigates e-cigarette use with sleep patterns, stress levels, and physical activity behavior and compare it with nonsmokers.

Methods: A standardized electronic questionnaire for sleep, stress, and physical activity assessment was used on 372 students enrolled in a large university. Statistical analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0.

Results: The mean age of the study population was around 20 years, with e-cigarette use higher in males. The mean age of smoking initiation was 17 years. The intention to play sports and physical activity differed between smokers and nonsmokers. E-cigarette users practiced sports to remain fit while nonsmokers intended to play sports for enjoyment; however, no significant difference in the level of fitness was found. Sleep behavior and stress levels were similar across the two groups.

Conclusion: No difference in lifestyle patterns between e-cigarette users and nonsmokers may be due to lesser smoking duration since initiation. Longitudinal studies with diverse populations and a longer duration of e-cigarette use are recommended to explore the effects of e-cigarette smoking on lifestyle behavior.

沙特阿拉伯年轻人吸电子烟与不同生活方式之间的关系

背景：电子烟的使用与多种疾病和健康行为的改变有关。这项研究调查了电子烟的使用与睡眠模式、压力水平和身体活动行为的关系，并将其与不吸烟者进行了比较。方法：采用标准化电子问卷对某大型大学372名在校生进行睡眠、压力和身体活动评估。统计分析使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS） 23.0版本进行。结果：研究人群的平均年龄在20岁左右，男性使用电子烟的比例更高。开始吸烟的平均年龄为17岁。吸烟者和不吸烟者进行体育运动和体力活动的意愿不同。电子烟使用者进行体育运动是为了保持健康，而不吸烟者进行体育运动是为了享受；然而，在健康水平上没有发现显著差异。两组的睡眠行为和压力水平相似。结论：电子烟使用者和非吸烟者之间的生活方式没有差异，这可能是由于开始吸烟后吸烟时间较短。建议对不同人群和更长的电子烟使用时间进行纵向研究，以探索电子烟对生活方式行为的影响。
