Results:In this study, there was a statistically significant and moderate relationship between the subjects having obese or normal body mass index and whether they had enough information about nutrition (X2 (2) = 16,005; p = .000 <.05; Phi And Cramer's). V = .365), it was found that individuals who do not have sufficient information about nutrition are more obese than others (84.0%) and this situation is statistically significant.There was a statistically significant and weak relationship between subjects' having obese or normal body mass index and whether they were doing physical activity (X2 (1) = 6.910; p = .009 <.05; Phi And Cramer's V = .240), it was found that the individuals who did regular physical activity were more at normal weight (65.2%) than those who did not do regular physical activity, and the individuals who did not do regular physical activity were more obese than those who did regular physical activity (59.5%) and these situations were found to be statistically significant.
