A study of the dynamics of the health of students at the university

the article assesses the dynamics of students’ health levels based on their assigned medical groups, as determined by medical examinations. The study involved 987 students of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation observed between 2020 and 2024. These students received a classification from a general practitioner or medical board, placing them into the main, preparatory, or special medical groups, or granting them complete exemption from the disciplines “Physical Culture and Sports” and “Elective Disciplines (Courses) in Physical Culture and Sports”. The relevance of this work stems from the need to develop evidence-based strategies for health promotion and disease prevention among students. Student health is a key factor in successful academic performance, future professional fulfillment, and overall socio-economic development of the country. The aim of the research is to identify trends and patterns in the dynamics of student health indicators at various stages of their education, as well as to determine risk factors that negatively impact the health of young students. The results obtained have practical significance for the development and implementation of effective student health programs at the Financial University. Specific recommendations are offered for optimizing the educational process, organizing healthy nutrition, developing physical culture and sports, and providing psychological support to students. The research data can be used to create a favorable educational environment that promotes the preservation and improvement of student health. In conclusion, the need for further research in this area is emphasized to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms by which various factors influence the health of the student population and to develop effective strategies for its improvement.
