Proper eating habits, as a key factor in maintaining good health, should be trained in the university and college students. This study aimed to assess the awareness of students of different faculties of the Burdenko Voronezh State Medical University about healthy nutrition. It involved 197 young people studying at the general medicine, pediatric, and preventive medicine faculties. The survey included questions concerning the frequency of meals, eating habits, and the role of vitamins and trace elements. According to the results, most students know much about proteins and carbohydrates, but their knowledge about fats, vitamins, and trace elements is less extensive. A significant portion of students admit inadequate meal planning and frequent snacking between main meals. About half of the participants prefer healthy snacks, while the rest choose less benign options. The awareness of how much water to consume should also be improved. Most students realize the link between poor nutrition and the risk of developing chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and disorders of the cardiovascular system. The interfaculty differences revealed emphasize the importance of raising students' awareness of proper nutrition, focusing on the practical aspects of rational selection of food and its importance for maintaining good health and preventing diseases.
