Information Form, Eating Attitude Test, Body Image Scale, and Self-Esteem Scale were applied to students. Results: While risk of eating disorder was 14.3% for students who perceived their bodies normal, this risk raised up to 83.3% in the students who perceived their bodies overweight. A positive strong correlation was determined between body image and self- esteem total scores of students. It was observed that 24.3% of the students had eating disorder risk, 30.9% had low body image, and 10.5% had low self-esteem.
