 Amaç: Bu araştırma tıp fakültesi öğrencilerinde akıllı telefon bağımlılığının sosyodemografik özellikler, akıllı telefon kullanım amaçları, yeme tutumları ve beden kitle indeksi ile ilişkilerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Metod: Veriler araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan kişisel bilgi soru formu ile yeme tutum testi, akıllı telefon bağımlılığı ölçeği formlarını içeren bir anketin internet ortamında Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesinde aktif devam eden öğrencilerine ulaştırılması ile elde edilmiştir. Bulgular: Katılımcıların n347 59.9u kadın, 40.1i erkekti. Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin internete girmede en sık kullandıkları yolun akıllı telefon olduğu, akıllı telefonu en sık mesajlaşmak ve sosyal medya takibi amaçları ile kullandıkları saptandı. Sosyal medya takibi amaçlı akıllı telefon kullanımı olan katılımcıların bu amaçla kullanmayanlara göre Akıllı Telefon Bağımlılığı Ölçeği puan ortalamalarının anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu görüldü. Öğrencilerin Akıllı Telefon Bağımlılığı Ölçeği puanları ile Yeme Tutum Testi puanları arasında çok zayıf, pozitif yönlü, anlamlı bir ilişki saptandı r0.135, p0.12. Korelasyon analizi sonucunda BKİ ile akıllı telefona ilk sahip olma yaşı arasında çok zayıf, pozitif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu bulundu r0.113, p0.036. Sonuç: Akıllı telefon kullanım amaçlarının akıllı telefon bağımlılığı ile, akıllı telefona ilk sahip olma yaşının beden kitle indeksi ile ilişkili olduğu görüldü. Ayrıca yeme bozukluğuna yatkınlığı olanlar ile olmayanlar arasında akıllı telefon bağımlılığı ölçek puanları açısından fark bulundu.
