Abstract
Aim of the study Disease prevention and health science research have focused increasingly on students in recent years. However, students are usually perceived as a homogeneous group. The aim of this article was to examine if there exist health inequalities among students. Methods A nationwide student survey, the so-called NuPhA study, was used to answer this question (n=689, 69.5% female, average age: 22.69 years). Results and conclusions We found that socio-economic indicators were associated with health and health behavior. For instance, being a scholarship holder was associated with a better general, mental, and physical health. In particular, subjective social status was positively associated with better general, mental, and physical health as well as higher physical activity. The results indicate that while students initially appeared to form a homogenous group, health inequalities exist among them. This suggests the need for a differentiated view on the student group and the importance of examining and explaining health inequalities among students in depth and to finally reduce them.
