Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the extent to which university studies modify healthy habits (food habits, physical exercise, sexual frequency, and consumption of toxic substances).
A descriptive study was carried out in the month of February 2002. Data was collected from 116 EUEM students, aged 18 to 34 years, who filled out a self-administered questionnaire.
After the data were analysed, it was concluded that even though the sample consisted of health-related subjects who were supposed to know about health habits, these same subjects did not apply the knowledge to their own benefit.
