Purpose: University students happen to be in a transitional period at the beginning of one's adult life and thereby establish the basis for their health care. The negative lifestyles followed by students during this period can also affect their reproductive health. The purpose of this study was to identify lifestyle, reproductive health, gender differences and relationships between lifestyle and reproductive health in university students. Methods: We used a descriptive cross-sectional design. A total of 300 subjects were enrolled. Data were collected using structured questionnaires between October 11 and 25, 2017 and analyzed using SPSS 25.0. Subjects agreed to undergo a face-to-face interview, including administration of the Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II) and reproductive health (knowledge, attitude, and behaviors). Results: The mean age of the subjects was 21.4 years. HPLP-II and reproductive health behaviors were significantly different between the genders. The scores of physical activity and nutrition in females were significantly lower than males. The scores of safe sex and sexual responsibility in females were significantly higher than males, and the score of genital health management was significantly lower in females than males. High HPLP-II score was observed to be in correlation with high reproductive health attitudes and behaviors. Conclusion: The result revealed differences in lifestyle and reproductive health between both the genders. For improvement of reproductive health of university students, provision of lifestyle intervention including healthy nutritional habits and physical activity is imperative.

개인의 건강증진사업을 진행하기 위해서는 건강에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 생활양식과 생활양식에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대한 역학적 조사가 필요하며 이는 연령집단별로 건강위험인자나 생활양식 및 건강실천행위 등이 모두 다르게 나타나기 때문이다. 체질에 따른 생활양식 등의 차이를 규명하는 것은 체질의학이 예방서비스의 일환으로 적용될 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하는 데 큰 역할을 할 뿐 아니라 체질의학을 현대화하는 데에도 기여할 것으로 사고된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 각 체질을 분석하고 체질별 건강증진 생활양식 실천정도를 파악한 결과 몇 가지 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다. 1. 연구대상자 중 태음인(太陰人)은 43.7%였고 소음인(少陰人)은 33.6%였으며, 소양인(少陽人)은 22.7%로 나타났다. 2. 연구대상자의 자아실현, 건강책임, 운동, 영양, 대인관계, 스트레스 관리를 포함한 건강증진 생활양식의 총 평균은 138.9이고 총 평점은 2.62이었다. 각 영역별 평점은 대인관계 2.94, 자아실현 2.86, 스트레스관리 2.71, 영양상태 2.68, 건강책임 2.37, 운동영역 2.21의 순으로 대인관계가 가장 높고 운동영역이 가장 낮았다. 3. 건강증진 생활양식 전체영역과의 관계를 보면 여성의 경우와 연령이 높을수록 건강증진 생활양식 실천정도가 높게 나타났다. 건강증진 생활양식 각 영역과의 관계를 보면 성별에서 보면 건강책임영역과 영양영역, 스트레스관리 영역에서 여자가 더 높은 실행정도를 보였고 운동영역에서 남자가 더 높은 실행정도를 보였다(P<0.05). 연령에서는 건강책임영역에서는 30대가, 영양영역과 스트레스관리영역에서는 50대가 가장 높은 실행정도를 보였다(p<0.05). 결혼상태에 따라서는 영양의 영역에서만 기혼자가 유의하게 실행정도가 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 4. 건강증진 생활양식 각 영역과 사회경제적 특성과의 차이를 보면 월수입에서는 대인관계영역에서만 월수입이 100만원 미만이 가장 높게 나타났고(P<0.05), 교육수준별로는 자아실현영역에서만 교육수준이 높을수록 이행정도가 높게 나타났으나(P<0.05) 나머지 영역에서는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 5. 대인관계영역을 제외한 모든 영역에서 태음인(太陰人)의 건강증진 생활양식의 실천정도가 가장 높았으며 자아실현영역에서는 소양인(少陽人)과 거의 비슷했다. 소음인(少陰人)은 건강책임 영역을 제외하고는 모든 영역에서 실천정도가 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났고 건강책임은 태음인(太陰人), 소음인(少陰人), 소양인(少陽人)의 순서로, 대인관계 영역에서는 소음인(少陰人), 태음인(太陰人), 소양인(少陽人)의 순으로 실천정도가 높음을 알 수 있다.
