Body MassIndex (BMI) is used to classify obesity on the basis of height and weight. BMIis important for some occupations and higher education programs such as first and emergency aid. For this reason,this study was conducted to evaluate the body mass index of the 95 students whostudy in the first and emergency aid program. For this purpose initiallyquestionnaire form was used, the result was analysed by one way ANOVA andstudent t-test.Results:95 students participated in our study (female: 58, male: 37). The students were168.89±7.14 cm in height, 62.13±10.36 kg in weight, and 22.08±4.56 kg/m2 bodymass index in average. While the average BMI of male was 22.41±2.91 kg / m2,the mean BMI of female was 21.40±2.74 kg / m2. The difference between femalesand males were statistically insignificant (p=0.09). However, Males had higherBMI than female. While the body mass index of the students who study in thedaily education was 22.21±2.64 kg / m2, BMI of students who study in the secondeducation was found as 21.29±3.03 kg / m2. The difference between the daily andevening education students were statistically insignificant (p=0.116). Averageof BMI of daily students was higher than the evening education. 14.73% of thepopulation's BMI was considered overweight (25-29.9)Conclusion:According to the results of the research, it has been found that a largeproportion of the students have maintained the body mass index during the lastnine months after acceptance of program. The importance of protecting the bodymass index at the normal level for students who cannot protect the body massindex should be emphasized and awareness should be created in this regard.
