Özet:

 In this study, it was aimed to determine the level of adherence to the Mediterranean diet in university students and to examine the relationship between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and quality of life and BMI. The study was conducted with 101 students aged 19-32 who were studying at Demiroğlu Bilim University Faculty of Health Sciences and accepted to participate in the research on a voluntary basis. Data collection form, Mediterranean Diet Adherence Scale MEDAS and Quality of Life Scale SF-36 were applied to the participants. The mean BMI is 24.84.06 kgm2 and 22.33.99 kgm2 in men and women, respectively. 69.3 of the participants were in the normal BMI range. In terms of adherence to the Mediterranean diet, 9.9 showed strict adherence, 39.6 showed compliance, and 50.5 showed non-compliance. The mean MEDAS score was calculated as 6.62.33. Although there is no statistically significant difference based on gender, it has been observed to be higher in males. However, it has been determined that it does not vary according to the field of education, BMI, age, physical activity status, smoking and alcohol consumption, and sleep duration. There was no statistically significant relationship found between SF-36 subscale scores and MEDAS scores. There was a relationship between BMI value and SF-36 sub-dimension scores only in the mental health sub-dimension, and it was determined that individuals with normal BMI had better mental health than overweight individuals. With this study, it is seen that the adherence of university students to the Mediterranean diet is incompatible.

 Bu çalışma ile üniversite öğrencilerinde Akdeniz diyetine bağlılık düzeyini belirlemek ve Akdeniz diyetine bağlılık ile yaşam kalitesi ve BKİ ilişkisini incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma Demiroğlu Bilim Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesinde eğitim gören ve araştırmaya katılmayı gönüllülük esasına dayalı olarak kabul eden 19-32 yaş arası 101 öğrenci ile yürütülmüştür. Katılımcılara veri toplama formu, Akdeniz Diyetine Bağlılık Ölçeği MEDAS ve Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği SF-36 uygulanmıştır. BKİ ortalaması erkek ve kadınlarda sırasıyla 24,84,06 kgm2 ve 22,33,99 kgm2dir. Katılımcıların 69,3ü normal BKİ aralığındadır. Akdeniz diyetine bağlılık oranlarında ise 9,9unun sıkı bağlılık, 39,6sının uyumluluk ve 50,5inin uyumsuzluk gösterdiği saptanmıştır. MEDAS puan ortalaması 6,62,33 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Cinsiyete göre istatistiksel bir fark olmamakla birlikte erkeklerde daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür ancak eğitim görülen bölüme, BKİye, yaşa, fiziksel aktivite yapma durumuna, sigara ve alkol kullanımına, uyku süresine göre farklılık göstermediği belirlenmiştir. SF-36 alt boyut puanları ile MEDAS puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak önemli bir ilişki saptanmamıştır. BKİ değeri ile SF-36 alt boyut puanları arasında ise yalnızda ruhsal sağlık alt boyutunda ilişki saptanmış olup normal BKİye sahip bireylerin, fazla kilolu bireylere göre ruhsal sağlıklarının daha iyi durumda olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma ile üniversite öğrencilerinin Akdeniz diyetine bağlılığının uyumsuz olduğu görülmektedir.
