In the study, anthropometric measurements were evaluated. REZZY eating disorders scale was used for eating disorder screening. The data were evaluated with SPSS 27.0 program. Variables affecting REZZY eating disorders were determined by binary logistic regression analysis. Risk of eating disorder was detected in 51% of the students. Female students had a significantly higher risk of eating disorders (p KW - Anthropometric measurements KW - Eating disorder KW - REZZY KW - University students N2 - Bu çalışmada sağlık bilimleri alanında öğrenim gören üniversite öğrencilerinde REZZY yeme bozukluğu ölçeği ile antropometrik ölçümler arasındaki ilişkinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Kesitsel olarak planlanan bu araştırmanın örneklemini 18-25 yaş aralığındaki 149 sağlık bilimleri alanında öğrenim görmekte olan üniversite öğrencisi oluşturmakta olup antropometrik ölçümleri değerlendirilmiştir. Yeme bozukluğu taraması için REZZY yeme bozukluğu ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Veriler SPSS 27.0 programı ile değerlendirilmiştir. REZZY yeme bozukluğu üzerine etki eden değişkenler binary lojistik regresyon analiziyle belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin %51’inde yeme bozukluğu riski saptanmıştır. Kız öğrencilerin anlamlı düzeyde daha fazla yeme bozukluğu riskine sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir (p CR - 1. Da Luz, F.Q., Hay, P., Touyz, S. and Sainsbury, A. (2018).
