Background: In the last year was experienced a nutritional transition in food choices
from the typical Mediterranean diet to the fast food pattern. As a consequence, the dietary
habits of young adults have been affected; thus, overweight and obesity have increasingly
been observed among the young. The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of
overweight and obesity on a sample of students from the University of Vlora (in Albania) and
to examine their eating habits. Students were asked to fill out a self- reported questionnaire.
Body mass index (BMI) was used to assess students’ weight status. Statistical analyses were
performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences software (version 13.0) to
determine overweight and obesity among students and to categorize eating habits. This study
showed that the majority of the students were of normal weight. The prevalence of
overweight and obesity was more common among male students compared to females In
contrast female students were underweight. There was a significant gender difference in the
frequency of meal intake. In spite of the overall low prevalence of overweight and obesity in
the studied sample, results indicate that university students would possibly benefit from a
nutrition and health promotion program to reduce the tendency of overweight and obesity.
Key words: Obesitas, BMI, percentage of body lipids, feeding
