Aim: In this study, it was tried to investigate the obesity tendency of the students of Bitlis Eren University with Bioelectrical Impedance Body Analyzer. Materials and Methods: A total of 400 volunteer students, 200 girls and 200 boys, were included in the study. Findings: According to Body Mass Index (BMI) values were found that 19.5% of the girl students were weak, 68.5% of them were normal weight, 11.0% of them were overweight and 1.0% of them were obese, 4.5% of the boy students were weak, 71.0% of them were normal weight, 22.0% of them were overweight and 2.5% of them were obese. According to body fat ratio were determined that 40.0% of the girl students were in the obesity tendency risk group and 48.0% of them were obese, 56.0% of the boy students were in the obesity tendency risk group and 26.0% of them were obese. According to the waist/hip ratio were revealed that 95.5% of the girl students were in the obesity tendency group and 4.0% of them were obese, 85.5% of the boy students were in the obesity tendency group and 4.0% of them were obese. The difference between sex and fat ratio, waist/hip ratio, and BMI values and the difference between age and fat ratio, waist/hip ratio, and BMI values were found significant (p<0.05). Result: Obesity is at a high level among university students.
