dc.description Introducción: conocer la prevalencia de algunos trastornos menores de salud (TMS) en una muestra de estudiantes de la Universidad de Barcelona (2004-05). Material y métodos: El estudio se realizó en las facultades de Ciencias Económicas, Farmacia, Medicina, Psicología y Químicas y Escuela de Enfermería de la Universidad de Barcelona. Se empleó un diseño observacional, descriptivo y transversal mediante un cuestionario mixto administrada a 600 estudiantes durante el mes de diciembre de 2004. Las variables estudiadas corresponden a los siguientes TMS: insomnio, estreñimiento, cefalea, dolor osteomuscular, tics nerviosos, onicofagia y tricotilomania. Resultados: El sexo femenino representa el 64% de la muestra; la media de edad de los encuestados es de 22,7 (DE: 3,27; IC 95%: 22,43-22,96). Las mujeres acumulan el 67,79% de los 1.245 TMS identificados. Por sexo, se observan diferencias estadísticamente significativas en las prevalencias de cefalea, dolor osteomuscular y tricotilomania que afectan en mayor medida al sexo femenino. La onicofagia (264; 21,20%; IC 95%: 18-24,4) es el más extendido de los TMS, seguido de la cefalea (233; 18,72%; IC 95%: 15,6-21,84). los estudiantes de Psicología presentan el mayor número, seguidos de los de Ciencias Económicas; los que presentan un menor número son los de Farmacia y Químicas. Conclusiones: El sexo femenino presenta la mayor prevalencia de TMS. La onicofagia y la cefalea son los principales TMS identificados en la muestra. Los estudiantes de Psicología acumulan el mayor número de TMS, siendo los que presentan más cefalea, dolor osteomuscular y tricotilomania.<br>Background: To determine the prevalence of certain minor health disorders (MHD) in a sample of students from the University of Barcelona (2004-05). Methods: The study was carried out in the faculties of Economic Sciences, Pharmacy, Medicine, Psychology and Chemistry, and in the School of Nursing, all of the University of Barcelona. An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional design was used and involved the administration of a mixed questionnaire to 600 students during December 2004. The studied variables correspond to the following MHD: insomnia, constipation, headache, bone and muscle pain, nervous tics, onychophagia and trichotillomania. Results: 64% of the sample was female and the mean age of interviewees was 22.7 (SD: 3.27; CI 95%: 22.43-22.96). Women accounted for 67.79% of the 1,245 MHD identified. There were significant sex differences in the prevalence of bone and muscle pain and trichotillomania, which mostly affected females. Onychophagia (264; 21.20%; CI 95%: 18-24.4) was the most common MHD, followed by headache (233; 18.72%; CI 95%: 15.6-21.84). Psychology students reported the highest number of MHD, followed by those from Economic Sciences; the smallest percentages were presented by students from Pharmacy and Chemistry. Conclusions: MHD are most prevalent among women. Onychophagia and headache were the main MHD identified in the sample. Psychology students report the largest number of MHD, the most common being migraine, bone and muscle pain and trichotillomania.
