    Eating disorders are a public health problem that is frequently seen in adolescents and young adults and has negative physical and psychological consequences. The aim of the study is to determine eating disorders rates in young adults and to reveal the factors associated with eating disorders. In this context, in this study, which was carried out with 729 (388 males, 341 females) students between the ages of 19-25 who continue their education at Van Yüzüncü Yıl University, the Anthropometric Standardization Reference Manual (ASRM) and the International Biological Program (IBP) height and weight measurements were taken. Body mass index was calculated according to World Health Organization references. Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) was used to evaluate students' eating attitudes. Besides, the thoughts of individuals about their weight, whether they do sports or not and their opinions on healthy nutrition were determined. In the study, it was determined that 10% of the sample was underweight, 16.2% was overweight and 2.9% was obese. In addition, 12.8% of the students had an eating disorder, and this rate was found to be higher in females than males. Eating behavior disorders were found to be more common in overweight and obese students. When the individuals were evaluated according to their weight thoughts, it was determined that eating behavior disorders rate was higher in those who thought themselves as overweight and obese (p<0.05). Individuals' weight thoughts are effective on eating attitudes. Eating behavior disorders in young people should be identified and risk factors that may cause eating behavior disorders should be analyzed
