Coordination of study obligations, extracurricular activities, and own health care can be a great challenge for young people, for which individuals may be differently well equipped. Our narrative review presents an overview of foreign and Slovene literature, summarizing known data on the impact of medical studies on lifestyle factors and health determinants and, thus, onindividual’s physical and mental health. We gathered the literature on these determinants through key-word searches. We found that unbalanced and poorly planned diets, combined with a lack of physical activity, can affect unwanted changes in body composition and increase the chances of developing metabolic disorders and chronic conditions, while a lack of micronutrients can lead to health problems. Studying requirements and chronic stress can adversely affect the sleep and mental state of medical students, with the added influence of a predominantly sedentary lifestyle, which can lead to mental disorders. All this can lead not only to the reduced academic success of students but also to many young people facing health problems early in their challenging careers. So far, there is a lack of systematic research in Slovenia that would allow an assessment of the situation among Slovenian medical studentsIzobraževalna pot študentov medicine je dolgotrajna in zahtevna. Usklajevanje študijskih obveznosti, obštudijskih dejav-nosti in skrbi za zdravje je lahko za mlade velik izziv, za katerega so posamezniki različno dobro opremljeni. Naš narativni pregledni članek povzema doslej znane raziskave o vplivu študija medicine na dejavnike življenjskega sloga in determi-nante zdravja ter s tem na telesno in duševno zdravje posameznika. Raziskave glede vpliva teh dejavnikov smo pridobili prek iskalnih nizov s ključnimi besedami. Ugotovili smo, da nekakovostna, nezadostna in neredna prehrana v kombinaciji s pomanjkanjem telesne dejavnosti in sedečim slogom življenja vpliva na neželene spremembe telesne sestave ter poveča tveganje za razvoj presnovnih motenj ter akutnih in kroničnih zdravstvenih težav. Zdravstvene težave dodatno poglablja tudi pomanjkanje spanja in kronični stres zaradi zahtev študija, kar lahko vodi tudi v razvoj duševnih motenj. Vse to ne prispeva le k zmanjšanju študijskega uspeha študentov, temveč tudi do zdravstvenih težav številnih mladih, ki se že na začetku svoje zahtevne kariere soočajo z njimi. V Sloveniji zaenkrat nimamo sistematičnih raziskav, ki bi omogočale oceno vpliva dejavnikov življenjskega sloga in kroničnega stresa na zdravje slovenskih študentov medicineTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaSlovensko zdravniško društvo
