AB  - Objective: The aim of this research is to examine theprevalance of internet addiction and relationshipbetween internet addiction (IA) and eating attitudes andquality of life in Erzurum Atatürk University faculty students. Method: A total of 466 faculty students from various faculties were included in the study.Sociodemographic data form created by researchers,Young Internet Addiction Scale (IAT), Obesity-RelatedProblems Scale (OR) and Eating Attitude Test-40 (EAT-40)were applied to the participants. Body Mass Index of theparticipants was calculated manually by the researchers.Results: 78.5 of the students were found to have IA. IAwas found at a mild level in 52.6% of the students, moderate level in 24.2% and severe level in 1.7%. There wasa positive correlation between the total score of IAT andthe alcohol use and psychiatric history. There was only astatistically significant relationship between the severityof IA and OR. There was no statistically significant relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and EAT-40.When the IAT and BMI, EAT-40 and OR correlation wereexamined, only a statistically significant but weak relationship was found in OR. Discussion: Although thereare some cross-sectional studies, revealing the significant relationship between IA and abnormal eating attitudes, there are also studies revealing no significant relationship. But it is clear that there is no definitive resultwith the limitations of the current studies.
