Objective: The University girl studying is to identify the parameters of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in students and consequently their nutritional habits, physical activity levels, and smoking. Methods: The research universe was formed by girls students who remained in the country. Among those who read the voluntary approval form and agreed to participate in the study signing, 90 girls with the required information (food consumption frequencies, anthropometric measurements, biochemical data) made the study sample. Data analysis is done with the SPSS program. Results: Only 5.6 per cent of students report they smoke, while 17.8 per cent of alcohol consumers. The student’s BKI value was 22.6 ± 6 kg/m2, the back circle was 71.1 ± 5.88 cm, the back axis ratio was 0.72 ± 0.04 and the back size ratio was 0.43 ± 0.03. With regard to MetS risk factors, blood biochemical findings and blood pressure are within the normal reference range. When asked about the number of meals consumed, 63.3% of students found that they consumed 3 meals. 38.9% of students they regularly did the main meal. In the middle of the meal, it was found that cakes and crackers had an average preference score. 60% of students they ate fast food, 31.1% gased drinks, 40% chips and 35.5% processed meat products less than once a week. On the other hand, 26.7 percent of students found they never ate fish, 24.4 percent green-leafed vegetables, 12.2 percent orange, 45.6 percent olive oil and 43.3 percent fat seeds. Moreover, only 7.7 percent of students consumed milk, yogurt or salmon daily. In terms of dry bakery consumption, 37.8 percent of them were found to consume one or more drops every fifteen days. The percentage of people who consume other fruits daily is only 10%. The result: Although students are in a metabolically healthy profile line, they are not in a good position enough in their eating habits. In particular, a number of negative habits have been identified, such as the majority of students do not exercise regularly and prefer unhealthy foods prior to the meal. It has also been found that a large majority of students receive certain groups of nutrients and nutrients that reduce the risk of MetS below the recommended amounts. In this regard, it is essential to provide a sufficient and balanced eating habits and regular physical activity habits to provide a healthy lifestyle for university youth that forms an important potential in our country.
