In addition, 27.3% of the participants were recognized to have a severe disorder. The participants’ scores regarding BODY IMAGE concern were found to be significantly different according to age, marital status, field of study, and education level (P<0.05). With respect to selfesteem, 35.1% of the participants were found to have low SELF-ESTEEM, 32.4% had moderate SELF-ESTEEM, and 32.5% enjoyed high SELF-ESTEEM. Furthermore, the participant’ SELF-ESTEEM scores significantly varied in terms of age, marital status, field of study, and education level (P<0.05).Conclusion: The participant STUDENTs’ BODY IMAGE concern was found to be high, and their SELF-ESTEEM was low.
