This study aimed to reveal the relationship between nursing students’ lifestyle and dietary habits. We provided a questionnaire to 1st year and 4th year nursing and non-nursing college students. In 4th year nursing students, we found that lifestyle, dietary habit, and eating disorder correlate closely. We determine that lifestyle and dietary habits in 4th year nursing students are affected by a stress reaction and psychological tension caused by the rigors of clinical nursing practice and preparation for a national board examination. We argue that by correcting lifestyle and dietary habits in 4th year nursing students, it may be possible to prevent the development of eating disorders.
