Summary Introduction The transition from school to university may be accompanied by different changes in lifestyle. We aimed to investigate whether students’ physical activity (PA) differs between school and university and which role change of residence plays. Summary of facts and results We analyzed data on 689 university students (69.5% female; mean: 22.7 years). The majority changed PA compared to school (less: 45.4%, more: 36.5%). Among those who were at the beginning of their studies and those who changed residence for the start of studies, the proportion of individuals having reduced PA was higher compared to their reference groups of students in higher semesters and students having not changed residence, respectively. Students visiting their hometown more frequently and staying there during semester break were more likely to have reduced PA. Conclusion Students who changed residence for starting studies seem to be a vulnerable group future intervention campaigns should focus on. Supporting those students to stay physically active during studies may be important to help them starting an active and healthy work life after graduation. Additionally, freshmen at universities may need more support to have the opportunity to stay physically active. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Résumé: L’hypertension artérielle (HTA) est un problème de santé fréquent dont les conséquences peuvent être graves pour les individus et sont très lourdes pour la population. La réduction de ce fardeau repose sur la prévention à l’échelle de la population et sur le diagnostic précoce à l’échelle des individus, suivis par la mise en œuvre proactive d’interventions dont le bénéfice est démontré. Compte tenu de la variabilité de la mesure de pression artérielle (PA), le diagnostic n’est établi qu’à l’issue de mesures répétées dans des conditions standardisées, si possible en dehors de la consultation. Les mesures hygiéno-diététiques permettent de réduire la PA de façon modeste, leur impact est significatif si elles peuvent être appliquées à grande échelle. La prise en charge des hypertendus repose essentiellement sur une escalade pharmacologique raisonnée et rapide, qui permet d’atteindre les objectifs de PA en moins de six mois avec trois classes pharmacologiques au plus dans plus de 80 % des cas. Une prise en charge spécialisée est requise dans les 20 % restant, pour chercher une cause d’hypertension secondaire, optimiser le traitement pharmacologique et discuter, dans une minorité de cas, de traitements non pharmacologiques. Les recommandations sont rédigées par des experts qui s’appuient sur la sélection, l’interprétation et l’extrapolation de résultats de la recherche clinique. Il en résulte des recommandations parfois inadaptées à la pratique courante et fréquemment contradictoires d’un guide de bonnes pratiques à l’autre. Des réflexions sont en cours pour proposer des guides moins discutables et plus directement applicables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
