Abstract

Objective: Test the hypothesis that smoking, fast-food consumption, and binge drinking were negatively associated with academic performance in Canadian undergraduate students.

Participants: Undergraduate students across Canada [n = 411 (335♀) aged: 22 ± 4 years] completed a questionnaire regarding their lifestyle behaviors and academic grades.

Methods: Relationships between lifestyle behaviors and academic performance were assessed via covariate-adjusted multiple regressions. Mediation models were used to test whether significant relationships between smoking/fast-food and grades were explained by binge drinking.

Results: Smoking (β= -4.00, p < .001) and binge drinking (β= -1.98, p = .002) were independent predictors of grades (average: 84 ± 8%). Binge drinking partially mediated the relationships between smoking (indirect effect β= -1.19, 95%CI [-2.49, -0.08] and fast-food consumption (indirect effect: β= -.75, 95%CI [-1.20, -0.29]), with grades.

Conclusions: These findings highlight the negative influence of binge drinking, smoking, and fast-food consumption on academic success, with binge drinking as a partial mediator of these relationships.

加拿大大学生酗酒和吸烟与较差的学习成绩有关。

目的:检验加拿大大学生吸烟、快餐消费和酗酒与学业成绩负相关的假设。参与者:来自加拿大各地的大学生[n = 411(335♀)，年龄:22±4岁]完成了一份关于他们的生活方式行为和学业成绩的调查问卷。方法:采用协变量调整的多元回归方法评估生活方式行为与学习成绩的关系。使用中介模型来检验吸烟/快餐和成绩之间的显著关系是否可以用酗酒来解释。结果:吸烟(β= -4.00, p β= -1.98, p = .002)是评分的独立预测因素(平均:84±8%)。酗酒部分介导了吸烟(间接效应β= -1.19, 95%CI[-2.49， -0.08])和快餐消费(间接效应β= -)之间的关系。75, 95%CI[-1.20， -0.29])，分级。结论:这些发现强调了酗酒、吸烟和快餐消费对学业成功的负面影响，酗酒是这些关系的部分中介。
