The questionnaire included grid questions with one and several variants of responses, matrix type questions and open questions regarding the physical activities and diet. Results. Following the questionnaire, it was found that 80% of students do not follow a diet, 23% of them eat fast food every week and every 3rd student consumes sweets every day. Even if the most important meal of the day is lunch, 30% of students are used to eat after 10 pm. Liquid consumption is in 50% of cases - 1-1.5L. Analyzing the physical activity, it was found that 63% of students practice light physical activities only once a week, in 66% of cases the students spend their free time by reading, listening music or using the PC or tablet. Even though, 76% of the students would be motivated to change their lifestyle, 52% of them affirm that they are discouraged by the lack of time and 26% - by laziness. Conclusions. About 6 out of 10 students with unbalanced diet and reduced physical activity may develop complications such as cardiovascular diseases, obesity, depression, etc. Thus, to raise awareness and prevent the occurrence and development of such diseases among students, a set of measures is needed to be taken both students, society, mass media, NGOs, etc.en_US
