Assessment of weight status, dietary habits and beliefs, physical activity, and nutritional knowledge among university students

Conclusion: The majority of students, particularly females, were within the healthy body weight range. Students’ dietary habits were satisfactory. However, physical activity, students’ knowledge of healthy and unhealthy diet habits, and nutritional knowledge needed improvement. Developing gender-specific programmes for promoting healthy lifestyle behaviours among students is recommended.
