Abstract
The purpose of this study was to ascertain the dietary and activity habits of university students majoring in health. In the 2022–2023 academic year, 510 (197 men, 313 women) volunteer students from Bitlis Eren University's Faculty of Health Sciences and School of Health Services were organized into the research group. The "Personal Information Form" was utilized in the study as a tool for gathering data, and the "Nutrition-Exercise Behavior Scale (NEBS)" was used to assess the students' dietary and exercise practices. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS statistical package tool. P 0.05 was considered significant. The study's findings revealed that students' dietary and exercise habits were moderate, that female students' nutritional and exercise point averages were greater than male students', and that faculty students' average scores were higher than those of college students. The bulk of the research group was found to not routinely exercise. It has been noted that students who frequently exercise score higher on average across all sub-dimensions of diet and exercise than students in the other groups. The gender of the study group, the program they examined, and the nutrition exercise behavior scale were shown to be positively and significantly correlated. The students' dietary and exercise habits were seen to be modest, and their regular exercise status was insufficient. It might be proposed in this regard that activities on the value of a balanced diet and regular exercise be organized at universities in order to raise generations that are healthy.
