[The impact of the hostel life style on the health status of students].

Abstract

The work aims at studying the specificity of the social living conditions, organization, regimen, psychosocial and other factors of life and their effect on the health status of students from the hostels of the students' town in Sofia. An inquiry is used, including 69 questions, connected with the organization and the conditions of living and education in the hostels. A statistical method for examining the chronic somatic morbidity is applied. By the inquiry method are investigated 1034 young people (boys and girls), living in the hostels of the Student's town. The statistical method assists in studying the chronic morbidity of 10.051 students, living in the hostels and of 9.562 students living in other places. The results show that in the hostel form of living there are infringements of the conditions and organization of the living standard, daily regimen, nutrition etc. The registered negative deviations correlate with the presence of higher chronic somatic morbidity, higher prevalence in spreading of socially important diseases-cardio-vascular, gastro-intestinal, renal. A hygiene-preventive program for improving the living standard, extending the dispensarization, carrying of prophylactic and treatment undertakings, etc. was recommended.
