Abstract
© 2020, © 2020 Taylor & Francis. Lack of information exists on the correlates of physical inactivity among persons who are binge drinkers. The aim of the current study was to examine the correlates of physical inactivity in binge drinking university students in 24 countries. Using a cross-sectional study design, 1917 binge drinking university students with a median age of 21 years from 24 low-, middle-, and high-income countries, replied to self-reported questionnaires of physical activity, alcohol use and health indicators and anthropometric measurement. Overall, 35.6% of the past-month binge drinking university students were physically inactive. In adjusted logistic regression analysis, male sex, living in a low- or lower middle-income country, and low social support were positively and being overweight or obese and injury were negatively associated with physical inactivity. Results indicate that physical activity health promotion in binge drinking university students could target the in the study identified risk groups.
