title: [Lifestyle concerning physical activity and mental health in university students].
abstract: To examine the relationship between lifestyle concerning physical activity and mental health, 372 university students filled out a questionnaire containing lifestyle patterns, subjective physical symptoms and subjective mental symptoms. As a result, a good lifestyle concerning physical activity was related to preferable mental conditions. The joint association of the lifestyle and mental health was more evident in female students than in male students. Consequently, we propose that educational advice for the improvement of lifestyle through physical activity is an important health strategy for university students.
