Official title

The Association Between Daily Physical Activity Level and Nicotine Dependence in University Students: A Cross-Sectional Study

Overview

This study will aim to examine the relationship between the daily physical activity level and nicotine dependence severity in university students. By identifying whether a higher physical activity level is associated with lower levels of smoking, the findings will help inform interventions to support healthier lifestyles in young adults.

Interventions

  • Other Behavioral Assessment (No therapeutic intervention will be administered)
    Participants will complete two validated questionnaires: The Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) - to assess levels of nicotine dependence. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form (IPAQ-SF) - to quantify weekly physical activity levels (walking, moderate, vigorous).

Primary outcome measures

  • Total physical activity score [Time frame: At baseline (single timepoint)]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
  • Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) [Time frame: At baseline (single timepoint)]
