Introduction and Aim: This study was carried out to evaluate dieting status, orthorexia neurosis (ON) and quality of life relationship in osmaniye Korkut Ata University, Faculty of Health Sciences students.
Materials and Methods: In March 2021, 235 volunteer students from Osmaniye Korkut Ata University Faculty of Health Sciences participated in the cross-sectional descriptive type of research. The data were collected by Sociodemographic İnformation Form, Orthorexia Neurosis Assessment Scale (ORTO-15) and Quality of Life Scale (SF-36). Chi-Square test and Independent Sample T-Test were used in statistical analyses and the signiation value was accepted as p<0.05.
Results: It was determined that 81.3% of students tended to be ON and 96.9% of male students showed orthorectric tendencies, while 78.8% of girls showed orthorectric tendencies. A statistically significant relationship between gender variability and ORTO-15 scores was found (p<0.05). A significant relationship was found between how students followed the diet and ORTO-15 score (p<0.05). SF-36 scale subheading scores were examined in students with and without ON tendencies and there was no statistically significant relationship (p>0.05).
Conclusion: In our study, the proportion of students who tended to orthorexia was found to be high (81.3%) and students who dieted on their own tended to have higher orthorexia.}, number={2}, publisher={Gazi Üniversitesi}
