The aim of this investigation was to estimate the independent and combined associations of sedentary behaviour (SB) and physical activity (PA) with life satisfaction, happiness and perceived health in university students. In a cross-sectional survey, 12,492 university students (median age 20 years, interquartile range = 3) from 24 countries responded to a questionnaire on SB, PA and well-being indicators. In adjusted linear regression, higher SB (4 to <8 h and ≥8 h) was associated with poorer life satisfaction (β = −0.21, confidence interval (CI): −0.27 to −0.14) and lower happiness (β = −0.31, CI: −0.46 to −0.17), and higher SB (≥8 h) was associated with lower perceived health (β = −0.08, CI: −0.13 to 0.03). In addition, moderate and/or high PA increased the odds for higher life satisfaction (β = 0.10, CI: 0.04 to 0.16), greater happiness (β = 0.27, CI: 0.15 to 0.39) and better perceived health (β = 0.12, CI: 0.08 to 0.15). Programmes that reduce SB and increase PA may promote life satisfaction, happiness and perceived health status in this university student population.

Purpose: This study is a descriptive research that aimed to investigate the degree of successful aging, health promotion behavior, self-efficacy and marital intimacy, and to identity the factors affecting their successful aging.Methods: The subjects in this study were 110 middle-aged. Data were analyzed using Independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and Multiple Linear Regression.Results: Participants scored 81.7±12.25 on health promotion behavior, 29.1±2.64 on self-efficacy, 53.6±9.29 on marital intimacy and 73.8±8.51 on successful aging. There were significant positive relationships between successful aging and health promotion behavior (r=.59, <i>p</i><.001), and self-efficacy (r=.31, <i>p</i>=.002), and marital intimacy (r=.34, <i>p</i>=.001). Factors influencing successful aging were perceived health status (β=4.59), health promotion behavior (β=0.34). The explanation power of this regression model was 44% and it was statistically significant (F=20.68, <i>p</i><.001).Conclusion: The perceived health status and health promotion behavior may help the successful aging of middle-aged. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the health status and health promotion behavior of middle-aged in order to prepare their successful aging.
