Executive Summary
This research analyses the effects of college lifestyle and health, and their correlations.
The purpose of our research was to utilize a sample selection of students from San Diego States
student population, and collect data pertaining to their environment, lifestyle choices, and most
importantly: their health. As a group we collected secondary data that helped us clarify four
topics: defining unhealthy, stressors, college lifestyle trends, and changes in health.
For our primary research, we utilized Qualtrics software, a software that helps create
online surveys. We distributed our online survey with students at San Diego State University, and
further asked about their school and stress, general health, and dietary and exercise habits. We
received 102 student responses out of all the surveys sent out. Within our 102 responses from
our survey, 64.7% were females, 77% are taking over 12 units per semester, 54% of students are
stressed out about school, and only about 56% are getting 7-8 hours of sleep. The majority of
students responded that they: consume 1600-2000 calories per day, eat home-cooked meals
most days of the week, agree with the statement healthy eating is something that matters to
me and exercise at least 4 days a week.
Based off of our findings, we have included recommendations to help utilize the
information gathered by our research. First, we recommend giving our research to Resident
Advisors, student health services, school psychologists, parents of students, and campus faculty
and staff. By doing this, we will allow people who have the ability to help create healthy
lifestyle changes for students. In addition, we recommend spreading awareness to students
through signs posted, fundraisers and events.
Also, in order to relieve stress, we further
recommend establishing sleeping pods inside and throughout the library, or perhaps giving
students options of pet therapy. We recommend working with faculty to create promotional gym
memberships for students during orientation in order to promote healthy living, and to create
more healthy food options available for students on campus for their convenience.

Introduction
A. Problem Definition
Upon entering college, some students face changes in their lifestyle, two of the main ones
being what food they consume and how much time they invest into physical activity. It has been
argued that students tend to develop unhealthy lifestyles upon entering college that can
deteriorate their health.
However, it should also be noted that this argument can also be
contradictory as students have also been found to be making better decisions than expected.
B.
Research Questions
The main question we are exploring is; what are the current lifestyle habits of SDSU
students and how is that affecting their health and well-being? Questions that arise from our main
research question include things like; time constraints due to school, living situations, their
ability to cook and knowledge of food, monetary issues, the freedom of being away from
home/family, drinking and partying, and how much physical activity they encounter.
C.
Research Objective
This research project will establish current eating and exercise habits of SDSU students
and detect in relationships between their environment, lifestyle choices, and health. In order to
do this, we will generate an online survey that will inquire students on their lifestyle as it pertains
to their health through multiple choice questions, essay box style questions, as well as rating
scales. This online survey will one, allow us to collect data and measurements on eating,
drinking, and exercise patterns; and two, account for environmental factors such as living
conditions, demographic information, and school schedule arrangements. Upon successful
drafting of our survey, we will select a convenience sample of SDSU students and ask them to
participate and provide their anonymous responses to our questions. Following data collection,
calculation and analysis of our measurements will be executed via SPSS and the appropriate
statistics will be interpreted. We will then determine trends in student lifestyle. Our conclusions
at the end will consider which aspects of student lifestyle should be considered for SDSU
intervention.
D. Action Standard
The results of this research will be shared with the intention to improve students health.
We will inform Resident Advisors and school psychologists, as well as the people who lead
freshmen orientations, in order to give tips to students on how to live healthy lifestyles. We will
try to inform students themselves as well, in order to help them strive for a healthy lifestyle. The
results will be primarily used to improve student lives at San Diego State.

III.
Secondary Data Analysis

Defining Unhealthy
Body composition and vital statistics play a large role in defining what unhealthy really
means. While weight gain can be considered to be the norm in college, there is a limit for what is
considered to be acceptable, natural weight gain. The United States Department of Agriculture
(2010) defines an overweight weight range for adults in their Dietary Guidelines for
Americans as a body mass index of 25.0-29.9 kg/m2 and an obese range as equal than or less to
30.0 kg/m2. Another important indicator of body composition and whether or not a certain level
of weight gain can still be considered healthy is body fat. A study on developing healthy
percentage body fat guidelines based on body mass index found that the essential fat percentages
under 2.8% and over 5.4% are unhealthy (Gallagher, et al., 2016). Vital signs such as blood
pressure, breathing and pulse can also experience change in college and can indicate abnormal
health changes. Any blood pressure lower than 90/60 mmHg but higher than 120/80 mm/Hg is a
risk to health, as is any resting respiratory rate lower than 12, but higher than 18 breaths per
minute and any resting heart rate lower than 60, but higher than 100 beats per minute (Cecil,
Goldman, & Schafer, 2012). Lows and highs in these body composition statistics and vital signs
could be manifestations of larger, alarming problems, emphasizing the importance to consider
how the habits of college students can play an impact on health.
B. Stressors
College can be an exasperating time in ones young adult life due to many pressures
forming and serving as constant stressors. Many college students must adjust to living away from
home, deciding on a college major and career, and maintaining new relationships (Richardson &
Rice, (2015). One of the biggest changes that occurs with the transition to college is the
academic pressure coming from the expectations from a higher institute of learning. This alone
can cause students to stress because there are high expectation of students to do well and succeed
so they can prepare themselves for their future careers. In connection to doing well in school,
students are not allowing themselves to get the appropriate amount of sleep. Epidemiological
studies have reported that students experience an average sleep time of 6 hours and 40 minutes
in the fall term and an average of 6 hours and 25 minutes in the spring term (Sexton-Radek &
Hartley, 2013). The stress of students expected to do well in school leads to students receiving
lack of sleep and due to lack of sleep leads to unhealthy lifestyles that college students face prior
or upon attending college. Kathy Sexton-Radek and Andrew Hartley states, Sleep hygiene
practices include regular bedtimes and wake-up times, limiting noise and light levels,
maintaining comfortable room and body temperatures, avoiding caffeine/alcohol/nicotine intake
prior to bed, and maintaining a healthy diet with exercise (Sexton-Radek & Hartley, 2013).
With this information, it is clear that students need to take an understanding of the college
lifestyle, and realize what is needed to be done in order to create a healthy lifestyle for them to
maintain.
C. College Lifestyle Trends
The Freshman 15 might be over exaggerated but research suggest the amount of weight
gain was still about 33% of the mythical Freshman 15 thought to be gained during the
freshman year. Studies have shown the mean weight gain of freshmen to be around 2.9-6.8
pounds (Hoffman, Policastro, Quick & Lee, 2006). College is a time of transitional change, for
some it is a time of increased physical activity due to extracurricular sports and access to fitness
centers. However, for many it is a downward spiral of poor eating choices, exercising habits,
heavy alcohol consumption and increased stress levels. A decrease in physical activity and
increases in caloric intake accounts for the weight gain found among many college students. Men
and women have identified alcohol use, convenience, cost, lack of time due to college life, and a
lack of healthy options on campus as barriers to eating healthy (LaCaille, Dauner, Krambeer &
Pedersen, 2011). College students often struggle with managing things competing with their time
like academic responsibilities, social and extracurricular activities and work. Consequently,
students look to obtain faster meals that are readily available at the university which tend to be
high-fat, calorie-dense foods. College students have a high prevalence of alcohol consumption
and consumption of junk foods is higher with alcohol consumption than at other time. College
students reported having food cravings 58% of the time when they were drinking and eating
something they were craving 57% of the time (Kruger & Kruger, 2015).
D. Changes in Health
When students get to college, often it is their first time being on their own. They no
longer have parents to either cook healthy home-cooked meals. When they come to college,
students forget the importance of fruits and vegetables. Also, students try to do too much all at
once and lose track of health and fitness in an attempt to save grades and their social life. The
majority of freshmen, between 51% and 72%, gain weight during the first year time period
(Smith-Jackson & Reel, 2012. Theyre staying up late and eating late, and if theyre eating, its
usually not moms homemade healthy chicken casserole (Smith-Jackson & Reel, 2012). As they
enter the college atmosphere, consumption of unhealthy and fried foods increases, and only
approximately half of college students exercise regularly (Racette et al. 2005). Studies also show
a decrease in consumption of fruit and vegetables, only 30% of college students meet the
recommended five fruits and vegetables (Racette et al. 2005). Specifically at San Diego State,
students also are forced into purchasing a meal plan on campus if they are living in the
dormitories during freshman year. In this case, students do not go to a traditional grocery store
and do not purchase healthy options; they prefer the faster options of on campus fast casual
dining restaurants.
IV. Research Method

A. Research Design
Descriptive design will be utilized to describe health status through eating, drinking, and
exercise habits. Our tool of choice for data collection will be a survey. We will design a
questionnaire on Qualtrics to inquire about students demographics, current health status, eating
patterns, exercise habits, and workload. Skip logic, branching, and display logic will be utilized
accordingly to ensure the quality of data. Our survey will incorporate various question types, but
will have an emphasis on multiple choice, likert scale, multiple selection, and free response
questions. It will take approximately twelve minutes to fully complete the questionnaire.
B. Sample Selection
The population of interest for this research project is all San Diego State University
students, with the sample frame consisting of all students who are currently attending the
university during the Spring 2016 semester. To account for time and cost, our sample will be
selected based on convenience as all SDSU students are invited to voluntarily participate in our
study. The number of respondents will be based on how many students are willing to complete
our survey.
C. Measures
Our survey will measure demographics, health status, behaviors, and attitudes. As such,
our measurements will be both qualitative and quantitative. Ratio level data such as age and
weight will be gathered through free response questions, and interval level data such as the
perceived importance of home-cooked meals will be measured through use of five-point likert
scales.
D. Data Collection
Once our survey has been launched, we will create awareness of our study and encourage
participation. Our data collection is cross-sectional as students will take our survey only at one
point in time. In order to promote our questionnaire, we notify fellow classmates, friends, and
10
other SDSU students through means of social media. We will leave the survey open for the
maximum time we can allot to allow in order to gather as much data as we can.
E. Analysis
After data collection, we will enter the information into SPSS. In analyzing our data, we
will determine the appropriate measures of central tendency and variability. Using these
statistics, we will find patterns and trends in our data for further interpretation.

frequencies of agreement or disagreement, 54.9% students at San Diego State somewhat agree
with the statement I am stressed out with school (Table 5, Appendix B.). Also, students sleep
12
from 7 to 8 hours every night, accounting for 55.9%. The average hours students are sleeping are
6.75 hours every night (Table 6, Appendix B).

(Table 12, Appendix B).

Analyzing
dietary
&

students eat home-cooked
food on an average of 3.71
out of 5; compared to
eating on campus, which is
1.546 out of 5. Lastly, students strongly believe in healthy eating with an average of 4.24 out of
5. In the frequency analysis of agreement and disagreement, students only felt neutral, agreed,
and totally agreed when asked if eating healthy was something that mattered to them (Table 16,
Appendix B).
B. Difference Tests
On average, freshmen (M=4.33) strongly agree with the statement Healthy eating is
something that matters to me more than seniors, when asked the same question (M=4.26). (t(43)
14
= .266) This is not significant with a 95% confidence because p=.792. (Table 27, Appendix B)
This shows that no matter the age, healthy eating is important to San Diego State students. This
is good news, because it is easier to educate people about eating healthy when they already agree
that health is important.
Another thing we tested for was self-esteem and the difference between colleges,
College of Business (M=3.83) majors rate their self esteem as lower than people in College of
Professional Studies and Fine Arts (M=3.92) However, these results are not significant (p=.692)
at a confidence level of 95%, so we must accept the null hypothesis, that self esteem is the same
for every college. (Table 29, Appendix B). The reason for this test was to see how people feel
about themselves.
This survey shows that people who do not smoke (M=3.76) answer neutral to agree
when asked how strongly they agree with the statement - I believe I am healthy slightly more
than people who do smoke (M=3.73). These results are not significant at a confidence level of
95% (p=.911), which means we must accept the null hypothesis, there is no difference between
the two groups (Table 31, Appendix B). This shows that whether or not people smoke, they still
believe that they are just as healthy as non-smokers. This is very interesting, because it shows
that people who smoke believe they are just as healthy as non-smokers.
C. Regression Analysis
After analyzing the data we received from our survey, we were able to conclude that there
is a positive correlation between how strongly individuals agreed with the notion that they lived
a healthy lifestyle and how often they eat home-cooked food. According to our output, multiple
15
regression value is 94.9% meaning this value is very strong. The more home-cooked meals a
student eats the more they feel that they are living a healthy lifestyle (Table 32, Appendix B).
16
17
18
In addition, looking over the data, we received from our survey (Table 33, Appendix B),
we were able to note that there is a negative correlation between how strongly an individual
agreed that eating healthy is a priority and how many calories they consumed in a day. According
to our output, the multiple regression value is 149.1%. The more students believed, eating
healthy is a priority, the less likely for they are likely to consume as many calories in a day.
Therefore, we can conclude that students at San Diego State University are conscience about
how many calories they eat in a day in order to stay healthy by the foods they eat.
In our last table of our data, we received from our survey (Table 34, Appendix B), we
were able to indicate that there is a positive correlation between likeliness to go to the Arc and
how many calories one consumes. According to our output, the multiple regression value is
154.1%. This value is very strong. The more students were likely to consume calories in a day,
the more likely they were likely to go to the arc. Furthermore, we can conclude that students at
San Diego State University perceive eating a higher amount of calories is better in order to give
you energy to go to the gym.

Conclusions
Students at San Diego State are aware that healthy living is important, however they still
do things that are not healthy such as smoke, drink, and eat fast food often. Using these statistics,
we can see that more often than not, people are not practicing healthy habits.
Our results show that many students do cook home cooked meals a few days of every
week. An interesting finding is that the stronger that the individuals agree that they live a healthy
lifestyle, the more likely they are to eat home-cooked meals. Also, the more that students
understand that healthy eating is a priority, the less desire they have to consume a lot of calories.
These are just some interesting facts this survey found.
Beyond healthy eating habits, this study also looked at stress levels of students. Several
students said that they have medium to high levels of stress in their lives and low levels of sleep.
Even with this, students, on average, have been able to successfully cope with the stress through
diet and exercise. In a section of our survey, we asked a few questions about body mass index
and weight, and most people responded with normal, healthy values. Students need to be taught
that even if they do not see a problem now with body mass index or heart problems, these stress
levels and lack of sleep will become a problem if not corrected early.
We started this study to look into healthy habits of students at San Diego State because it
is a matter that affects everyone. Every person should be concerned about being healthy. The
people in our group believe this is an important matter to make students aware of.
VII.
20
Recommendations
As stated in our action standard, these results will be used to improve student lives at San
Diego State. We will share the results of this report with people who have the ability to improve
students health, meaning: Resident Advisors, student health services, school psychologists,
parents of students, and campus faculty and staff. We will try to inform the students because they
are the ones who are in charge of their own lifestyles.
Something we noticed from our results is that 84.3% of respondents agree or strongly
agrees that they are living healthy lifestyles. This is inconsistent with some of our other findings:
showing that 10.8% of the respondents smoke, 82% drink alcohol, and 57.8% of our respondents
only get 2 or fewer fruits and vegetables per day. This shows that the school and administration
should be promoting more healthy eating options on campus for freshmen, most freshmen do not
have access to a kitchen, so the next step should be giving the freshmen healthy home-cooked
meal options.
Once we tell these people about our findings, student health services can take steps to
create awareness for healthy eating and healthy living. Using signs and fundraisers and events on
campus, the students will learn the benefits of healthy habits. Other things student health services
can do is to promote ways to relax around Finals week like pet therapy or sleeping pods in the
library. Other ways to be healthy include the gym on campus, and choosing to go to the healthy
restaurants on campus. Ways to entice students to go to the gym more could include promotional
raffles, or door prizes to people as they walk into the gym like shirts, water bottles, or coupons to
ShakeSmart.

Limitations
If our research were perfect it would be 100% representative of our population, which in
the case of our research would be entire student body of San Diego State University (SDSU).
However, we were able to pinpoint some flaws in our research. Our small sample size is one of
the main things that could be improved upon. We reached out to near a thousand students and
ended up getting 105 respondents to complete our online survey. Although our sample size (n =
105) is relatively small it was enough to be considered statistically significant. With more time to
reach out to students to complete the survey the sample size could be increased, making our
research more representative of the students at SDSU.
After conducting our survey, we noticed the design of the questionnaire could be
improved upon in order to conduct a better analysis of our research. We ran into problems
analyzing our research because of the formatting on some of our questions. For example, a lot of
our questions where check all that apply in our survey on key areas we wanted to run
association tests. Because the data was collected in this manner we could not properly make
associations. In order to improve our analysis, the way we collect data in our survey would be
changed in order to run better association and regressing tests in SPSS.
Not only the formatting of some questions in our survey could be improved upon, but
some of the questions themselves could be improved to collected better data. Some questions
were more effective than others in collecting data on issues we wanted to understand. A re-design
of the questions asked would allow us to gather better data on relationships between their
environment, lifestyle choices, and health. For example, we asked students what their resting
heart rate was in beats per minute and the majority did not know. It is important to ask questions
you can gather useful data from. Omitting some questions and adding new ones to our survey
22
would gather more valuable data. Also we felt we could have asked questions that tracked
students opinions on things that could be implemented at SDSU in order to improve their health
and lifestyle, like healthier food options on campus, diet counselors or sleeping pods.
The research method of choice was an online survey, which was mainly chosen because
of costs, time constraints and ease of collecting data. We had a short time period to do our
research and this method worked best in the situation we were placed in. However not as
efficient as an online survey we feel there are better ways of collecting data for the purpose of
our study like monitored surveys conducted in classrooms, focus groups and one-on-one
interviews.
