孟加拉国某医学院本科生不吃早餐的相关因素

背景：早餐是一种常见的不吃的食物，尤其是对大学学习期间的年轻人来说。目的：本研究旨在确定医学生不吃早餐的相关因素。方法：这项横断面研究于2022年1月在巴里沙尔Sher-e-Bangla医学院四年级的医学生中进行，使用自填问卷记录了人口统计学、早餐消费习惯以及其他因素，如身体状况、食欲、睡眠质量、与他人的社会关系和学习。结果：有相当比例的学生（63.3%，95%可信区间：56.18-70.38%）不吃早餐。晚起（OR-11）、晚睡（OR-7）和住在旅馆（OR-8）是与不吃早餐显著相关（p<0.05）的重要因素。结论：医科大学生不吃早餐行为普遍存在。应通过健康宣传活动鼓励学生定期吃早餐。2023年孟加拉医学研究院；49（1）：39-46
