[en] Given all the beneficial aspects reported by healthy lifestyles for a community, the aime of this study was to identify the degree of physical activity, obesity and adherence to the Mediterranean diet, the consumption of alcohol and tobacco, as well as their association with the quality of life related to health in the university community of Galicia, during the academic year 2014/15, in order to establish proposals aimed at improving their habits. The total sample size was 1.016 participants (439 students, 259 PDI and 318 PAS) of both sexes. Results were extracted through the application of the questionnaires: IPAQ, Test Kidmed, SF-12, and a tobacco and alcohol test, to measure the level of physical activity, the degree of adherence to the Mediterranean diet, physical and mental health, and identify the consumption of alcohol and tobacco, respectively. All the university community participated voluntarily, fulfilling the criteria of the Declaration of Helsinki. The university community shows inadequate lifestyles, with high prevalences in Overweight, Obesity and Sedentary, which increase progressively with age; and high consumption of tobacco and alcohol. These results do not deviate significantly from the habits of the Spanish population. Concerning the Mediterranean diet, the PDI and PAS showed very good adherence, unlike the students, whose adherence was very low. Members of the university community show a very high perception of their own health (80-90%) in both sexes, and present values of HRQOL, both physical and mental, similar to those of the general Spanish population. We found that Obesity and Physical Activity are associated with HRQOL and not with the consumption of Tobacco and Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet, it was difficult to interpret the association with alcohol consumption. The conclusion addresses the need to change habits of diet, tobacco and alcohol consumption towards healthier patterns and proposes a model for promoting physical activity in the university educational context.

[gl] Tendo en conta todos os aspectos beneficiosos que reportan os estilos de vida saúdables para unha comunidade, o principal obxectivo deste estudo foi identificar o nivel de actividade física, o grao de obesidade e adherencia á dieta mediterránea, o consumo de alcohol e tabaco, así como a súa asociación sobre a calidade de vida relacionada coa saúde na comunidade universitaria de Galicia, durante o curso académico 2014/15, co fin de establecer propostas que tendan a mellorar os seus hábitos. O tamaño total da mostra foi de 1.016 participantes (439 estudantes, 259 PDI e 318 PAS) de ambos sexos. Os resultados foron extraídos grazas á aplicación dos cuestionarios IPAQ, Test Kidmed, SF-12, e un test de tabaco e alcohol, para medir nivel de actividade física, o grao de adherencia á dieta mediterránea, a saúde física e mental, e identificar o consumo de alcohol e tabaco, respectivamente. Todos os universitarios participaron voluntariamente, cumprindo os criterios da Declaración de Helsinki. A comunidade universitaria amosa uns estilos de vida inadecuados, con prevalencias altas en Sobrepeso, Obesidade e Sedentarismo, que aumentan progresivamente coa idade; e consumos altos de Tabaco e Alcohol. Estes resultados non se desvían de forma importante ao dos hábitos da poboación española. Na Dieta Mediterránea, o PDI e PAS, reflicten moi boa adherencia, non así os Estudantes que a súa adherencia foi moi baixa. Toda a comunidade universitaria ten unha valoración da percepción da súa saúde bastante alta (80-90%) en ambos sexos, e presenta valores da CVRS, tanto Física como Mental, similares aos da poboación española. Atopamos que a Obesidade e a Actividade Física están asociados coa CVRS, non así co consumo de Tabaco e a Adherencia á Dieta Mediterránea, sendo de dificil interpretación a asociación co consumo de alcohol. Conclúese acerca da necesidade de modificar os hábitos da dieta, consumo de tabaco e de alcohol a padróns máis saludables; e suxerir un modelo de fomento da actividade física no contexto educativo universitario.
