Epidata3.2and SPSS13.0package were used in analyzing.Results:(1)584returns were valid with a valid rate of97.33%.49(8.9%) were male and503(91.1%) were female.(2) In the investigation of diet,the highest rate is the low intaking of milk(73.2%),the lowest rate is the high intaking of soda water;In the investigation of lacking of exercise,the highest rate is lack of exercise (87,97%),the lowest rate is entering Extra-curricular classes(6.82%);In the investigation of unintentional injuries,the highest rate is unsafely riding(42.9%),the lowest rate is unsafely swimming(2.75%);In the investigation of intentional injuries,the highest rate is down in spirites(99.64%).the lowest rate is attempted suicide(3%);In the investigation of substance abuse,the highest rate is alcohol abuse(9.46%),the lowest rate is drug taking(1.23%); In the investigation of Addiction Psychiatry,the highest rate is gambling(18.82%),the lowest rate is IAD(9.58%);In the investigation of unhealthy sex behavior,the highest rate is do not use condoms(5.59%),the lowest rate is be forced to have sex(1.20%).(3)In Single factor analysis, the report rate of often eat sweets behavior, rarely drink milk behavior, bad behavior to lose weight, lack of physical exercise behavior, for a long time to do their homework behavior, traffic violations and sleeping pills abuse had statistically significant in different grades(P<0.05);the report rate of lack of physical exercise behavior, often playing video games behavior, unsafe swimming behavior, smoking and alcohol addictions, whether there had been sexual activity and multiple sexual partners behavior had statistically significant in gender(P<0.05);the report rate of often eat Western-style fast food behavior, rarely drink milk behavior, traffic violations, unsafe cycling behavior, fighting behavior and smoking addictive behavior had statistically significant between mothers who has different degrees(P<0.05);the report rate of often do not eat breakfast behavior, partial eclipse behavior, poor diet behavior, lack of physical exercise behavior, often playing video games behavior and alcohol addictions had statistically significant between people with different BMI(P<0.05);the report rate of often do not eat breakfast behavior, traffic violations and smoking addictive behavior had statistically significant between fathers with different degrees(P<0.05);the report rate of poor weight loss behavior, traffic violations, smoking behavior, drug abuse and multiple sexual partner behavior had statistically significant between people with different different academic achievement(P<0.05).But regular drinking soda behavior, often watching TV behavior, often online behavior, often tutoring behavior, physical or verbal violence, depression behavior, suicide, runaways behavior, gambling behavior, forced sex was not found to be related to demographic factors.Multivariate analysis show that:the report of the rate of lack of physical exercise behavior is high in girls (OR=4.408), and substance abuse (OR=0.168) and bad behavior (OR=0.153) is low;the report of the rate of spirit of addictive behavior is high in divorced families (OR=5.968) and high grade (OR=1.448).Conclusion:(1) A health care class in the high incidence of health risk behaviors of college students,60.79%person often ate sweet food,73.2%drink milk occasionally,37.76%of the people have partial eclipse habit,65.01%of the people have unhealthy weight control behaviors,87.97%of people lack of physical exercise,34.09%of people watch TV too often,35.65%of people played computer games frequently,40.20%of people regularly access to internet,42.94%of people had non-security riding behavior,14.09%of people have traffic violations,38.81%of people suffered body or words violence,99.64%of people had suffered emotional neglect,17.91%of people have ideas of ran away from home,10.70%of people have suicide idea,18.82%of people contacted with gambling,9.58%of people who had drug abuse like sleeping pills etc,9.95%of people contacted with pornographic books.(2)Except lack of physical exercise behavior,in most health risk behaviors, boys’ level higher than girls. Bad school performance student experience more health risk behavior than good student. Student with a high BMI experience more health risk behavior than student with a low BMI.Low father and mother education students’ health risk behaviors partly significantly higher than the students of father and mother degree high. Male, bad school performance, with a high BMI,father and mother degree low are probably risk factors of the adolescent health risk behavior.
