Objective: This study was conducted to determine the diet quality of the students from the faculty of sport sciences and to correlate healthy nutrition scores with anthropometric measurements. Material and Methods: The study was carried out on 276 students. They were asked to fill out a survey and a Mediterranean Diet Quality Index (KIDMED) questionnaire to define their sociodemographic characteristics and their food consumption was recorded through a 24-hour dietary recall method. Healthy Eating Index (HEI), Diet Inflammatory Index (DII), and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet scores were calculated. Also, some anthropometric measurements (body weight, height, waist circumference etc.) were taken, and their body compositions were evaluated by bioimpedance analysis. The data were evaluated in SPSS 22.0 program and the significance level was accepted as p<0.05. Results: Based on the body mass index, 73.8% of the males and 72.4% of the females were defined as normal weight. Considering the KIDMED and HEI scores, it was found that the majority of students had a moderate or poor diet quality and that a significant relationship was only present between the KIDMED score and the upper-middle arm circumference (r=-0.142, p<0.01) and lean body mass (r=0.160, p<0.01). Conclusion: As a result, although it was determined that most of the students participating in the study diet quality was low, no relationship was found between healthy nutrition scores and anthropometric measurements other than upper middle arm circumference and lean body mass. Studies with larger sample numbers are needed to determine this relationship.

Amaç: Bu çalışma, spor bilimleri fakültesi öğrencilerinin diyet kalitesi ve sağlıklı beslenme skorları ile antropometrik ölçümler arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma 276 öğrenci ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Öğrencilerin sosyodemografik özelliklerini tanımlamak için soru formu ile Akdeniz Diyet Kalite İndeksi (KIDMED) anketi doldurmaları istenmiş olup, besin tüketimleri 24 saatlik diyet hatırlama yöntemiyle kaydedilmiştir. Sağlıklı Beslenme İndeksi (SBİ), Diyet İnflamatuar İndeksi (Dİİ) ve Hipertansiyonu Durdurmak İçin Diyet Yaklaşımları [Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH)] diyet puanları hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca bireylerin bazı antropometrik ölçümleri (vücut ağırlığı, boy, bel çevresi vb.) alınmış ve vücut kompozisyonları biyoimpedans analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Veriler, SPSS 22.0 programında değerlendirilmiş olup, anlamlılık düzeyi p<0,05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Bulgular: Beden kitle indeksine göre erkeklerin %73,8'i, kızların ise %72,4'ü normaldir. KIDMED ve SBİ puanlarına bakıldığında, öğrencilerin çoğunluğunun orta veya kötü beslenme kalitesine sahip olduğu ve sadece KIDMED puanı ile üst-orta kol çevresi (r=-0,142, p<0,01 ) ve yağsız vücut kütlesi (r=0,160, p<0,01) arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin çoğunluğunun diyet kalitelerinin düşük olduğu belirlenmesine rağmen üst orta kol çevresi ve yağsız vücut kütlesi dışında diğer antropometrik ölçümler ile sağlıklı beslenme skorları arasında ilişki bulunamamıştır. Bu ilişkinin saptanabilmesi için daha büyük örneklem sayısı olan çalışmalara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.
