The aim this study was to determine the nutrition (NL) status white-collar employees its relationship with adherence Mediterranean diet, anthropometric measurements, lifestyle behaviors, including habits, dietary intake, physical activity level. This cross-sectional conducted 3459 aged 18–65 who lived in Türkiye. A questionnaire prepared by researchers used obtain information about demographic characteristics measurements participants. Evaluation Instrument Literacy on Adults (EINLA) assess NL, Diet Adherence Screener (MEDAS) diet quality, Quality Life Test Short Form-36 (SF-36) quality life. Data analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0 program. With average age 24.3 ± 10.5 years 50.7% women, women presented higher than men did (p < 0.001). Most participants held university or postgraduate degrees medium high income levels majority demonstrated sufficient NL. Compared other participants, those adequate NL had significantly adherence, SF-36 (77.27 16.26), mental (65.45 17.00) scores Negative correlations were found between EINLA score BMI (r=-0.082), waist circumference (r=-0.072), hip (r=-0.036), waist/hip ratio (r=-0.074), waist/height (r=-0.056) 0.05). Additionally, weak positive observed (r = 0.158) 0.088), as well metabolic equivalent task (MET) 0.042) results that a significant predictor behaviors life among adults. can enable individuals make informed choices thus contribute prevention many noncommunicable chronic diseases.
