Abstract:
Background: Dangerous behaviors adversely affect the health of adolescents and young adults. This study
aimed to identify the subgroups of college students based on the parameters of risky behavior and analyze
the impact of demographic factors and internet gaming disorder (IGD) belonging to each class.
Study Design: A cross-sectional study.
Methods: The study was conducted on ۱۳۵۵ students through a multi-stage random sampling method
in ۲۰۲۰. A survey questionnaire was used to collect data, and all students completed ۱۲۹۴ sets of
questionnaires. The data were analyzed using t test and latent class analysis (LCA) through SPSS and PROC
LCA in SAS ۹.۲ software.
Results: Three latent classes have been identified as low-risk (۷۵%), tobacco smoker (۸%), and highrisk
(۱۷%). There was a high possibility of risky behavior in the third class. Marital status (being single)
(OR = ۲.۲۸, ۹۵% CI: ۱.۱۹-۴.۳۷), unemployment (having no job) along with education (OR = ۱.۵۶, ۹۵% CI:
۱.۰۴-۲.۳۳), and IGD (OR = ۱.۰۶, ۹۵% CI: ۱.۰۴-۱.۰۹) increased the risk of inclusion in the tobacco smoker
class. Moreover, unemployment (having no job) along with education (OR = ۱.۴۳, ۹۵% CI: ۱.۱۱-۱.۸۴)
increased the chance of being in the high-risk class.
Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, ۲۵% of the students were tobacco smokers or were
in the high-risk class. The results of this study may help develop and evaluate preventive strategies that
simultaneously take into account different behaviors.
