Abstract
The transition to college poses many challenges for students. Their newfound independence coupled with the social and physical environmental changes, may expose them to undesirable eating habits, which results in malnutrition especially weight gain. Medical students are thought to be a significant proportion of the socio-economic elite of tomorrow and promoters for general population, thus their habits and behaviors are most likely to become the norm. Universities and, especially, medical schools represent a great opportunity for focused nutritional education that can promote healthy dietary habits and life style pattern. Aim of the study was to: Study the effect of nutrition education program on knowledge, attitudes and behavior of medical students of Faculty of Medicine, Tanta University.
