Summary

The goal of this observational study is to explore the associations between pulmonary capacity, physical activity levels, and headache occurrence in university students aged 18-30, focusing on differences between smokers and non-smokers. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Is there a relationship between pulmonary function (FEV1 and FVC measurements) and the frequency of headaches in university students? How do physical activity levels and sedentary behavior differ between smokers and non-smokers, and how do these factors correlate with headache prevalence? Researchers will compare smokers and non-smokers to see if smoking influences CO levels, sedentary behavior, and respiratory function, contributing to a higher incidence of headaches.

Participants will:

Complete pulmonary function tests using handheld spirometers to measure FEV1 and FVC.

Fill out the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-SF) to assess physical activity and sedentary behavior.

Use the Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) to evaluate headache impact on daily life. Provide carbon monoxide (CO) breath levels for analysis.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Pulmonary Function Testing, Carbon Monoxide (CO) Breath Testing

Pulmonary Function Testing FEV1 and FVC spirometry tests used to measure lung capacity among both smoker and non-smoker students. Carbon Monoxide (CO) Breath Testing Measurements taken using a CO breath analyzer to assess CO levels in the smoker group. Physical Activity Assessment (IPAQ-SF) The International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF) used to evaluate physical activity levels and sedentary behavior among students. Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) HIT-6 questionnaire used to assess the impact of headaches on daily life.
