Abstract EN
Objectives : The aims of this study were to explore factors associated with healthrelated quality of life (HRQOL) among students of Cumhuriyet University, Turkey.
Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 1751 undergraduate students.
HRQOL was measured using the Turkish version of 36-Item Short Form Health Survey questionnaire.
We looked at the effect of sociodemographic characteristics (e.g., gender, age, drinking, and smoking) on the individual HRQOL domains.
Results: Place of residency (odds ratio (OR) = 3.947 for role emotion dimension), smoking status (OR = -2.756 for role physical dimension), received amount of pocket money (OR = 2.463 for mental health dimension), and body mass index (OR = 1.463 for mental health dimension) were the factors significantly associated with the HRQOL.
Conclusions: Young students’ HRQOL is affected by socioeconomic, demographic, and behavioral factors.
To improve student’s HRQOL, any health-promoting strategies should focus on modifiable risk factors and socioeconomic supports for students
