Özet:

 The study was conducted to determine the nutritional literacy levels of university students and to investigate the relationship between nutritional literacy status and obesity. This descriptive study was conducted with 967 students studying in Yozgat Bozok University. A questionnaire for descriptive information and Evaluation İnstrument of Nutrition Literacy on Adults were used to collect data. 52,3 of the students who were participated in the research were female and 47,7 of them were male and their mean age was 20,72 years. According to their BMI, 68,8 of the students were normal and 21,8 were mildly obese. The mean score of the Evaluation İnstrument of Nutrition Literacy on Adults EINLA was 25,065,62 and 73,5 of the students were found to have adequate nutrition literacy. When they grouped by subdivisions, students literacy is most adequate 81,8 in the sub-section of food groups. In the Portion amounts subsection, only 9,7 have adequate literacy. Reading comprehension and food label reading and those with insufficient digital literacy status were found to be significantly higher than those who were obese. Moreover, in those with insufficient nutritional literacy, the rate of overweight obesity was found to be higher. University students should be encouraged with the support of experts on healthy eating habits, and campus areas should be made suitable for physical activity.

 Çalışma, üniversite öğrencilerinin beslenme okuryazarlığı düzeylerini tespit etmek, beslenme okuryazarlığı durumunun obeziteyle ilişkisini araştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Tanımlayıcı nitelikteki araştırma Yozgat Bozok Üniversitesinde 967 öğrenciyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Verilerin toplanmasında anket formu ve Yetişkinlerde Beslenme Okuryazarlığı Değerlendirme Aracı kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin 52,3ü kadın, 47,7si erkek olup, yaş ortalamaları 20,72 yıldır. Öğrencilerin 68,8i normal olup, 21,8i hafif şişmanşişmandır. Öğrencilerin Yetişkinlerde Beslenme Okuryazarlığı Değerlendirme Aracı puan ortalaması 25,065.62 olup 73,5inin beslenme okuryazarlığı düzeyi yeterli bulunmuştur. Öğrencilerin en fazla 81,8 besin grupları alt bölümünde okuryazarlığının yeterli olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Porsiyon miktarları alt bölümünde yeterli okuryazarlığa sahip olma oranı sadece 9,7dir. Okuduğunu anlama ve gıda etiketi okuma ve sayısal okuryazarlık durumu yetersiz olanların şişmanlık oranları anlamlı şekilde daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, beslenme okuryazarlığı yetersiz olanlarda hafif şişmanlıkşişmanlık oranının daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Üniversite öğrencileri sağlıklı beslenme alışkanlıkları konusunda uzmanların desteği ile teşvik edilmeli ve kampüs alanları fiziksel aktiviteye uygun hale getirilmelidir.
