Description
Summary:Many lifelong health-related behaviours are established transitioning from school into higher education including a decline in sleep(1) and diet quality(2); likely to be maintained throughout life, affecting future health status(3). Inadequate sleep quality and quantity can contribute to public health concerns as it is associated with poor dietary behaviours(2) and unhealthy lifestyle behaviours(3,4). Sleep quality of students was measured using the validated Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index - (PSQI), and four validated measures to determine dietary quality (short-form food frequency questionnaire), alcohol use (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test Alcohol Consumption - AUDIT-C), perceived stress (Perceived Stress Scale-10 - PSS-10), and physical activity levels (International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form - IPAQ-SF).
