The aim of this study is to examine whether the sub-dimensions of leisure time attitude (LTA), which have an important place in the academic success and life satisfaction of university students, change according to their body mass index (BMI), faculty, gender, nutritional status and regular exercise status; likewise, to examine the changes between BMI and gender, nutritional status and exercise status, and the relationship between LTA and BMI. The study sample consisted of 242 students from Iğdır University. The study used the Short Form of the Leisure Attitude Scale (SZTÖ-SF), developed by Raghep and Beard (1982), revised by Teixeira and Freire (2013), and translated into Turkish by Önal and Bedir (2023). Data were collected via a face-to-face survey, and the Independent Samples T-Test, One-Way ANOVA, and Pearson Correlation Test were used in the analysis. According to the results, in terms of affective, behavioral and cognitive attitudes, the attitudes of underweight students with BMI are higher than the attitudes of overweight and obese students in SZT. In terms of behavioral and cognitive attitudes, the attitudes of the students of the faculty of sports sciences are higher than the attitudes of the students of the faculty of economics and administrative sciences of SZT. Those who thought they were well-nourished and exercised regularly had better BMI assessments than others. Additionally, a significant negative correlation was found between SZT and BMI. Data were tested using the SPSS 27 package program.
