The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between Type II diabetes risk factors and physical activity levels of female university students. Descriptive screening model and survey method were used in this study. Research data were obtained from the questionnaire form applied for demographic information, physical activity assessment questionnaire and Finnish Diabetes Risk Questionnaire. Height and weight values of the participants were obtained through the survey. A total of 200 students studying at Mersin University participated in the study. The obtained data were evaluated with an analysis program and descriptive statistics were used to evaluate the demographic characteristics of the participants. Shapiro-Wilk test was used for normality analysis of the data. Since the obtained data did not show normal distribution, the relationship between the variables was analyzed using Spearman correlation. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that there was a negative relationship between the physical activity levels of the students and diabetes risk factors. It was determined that there was a low level of relationship between type II diabetes risk factors and physical activity level (r=-0.139; p<0.05), a high level of relationship between type II diabetes risk factors and Body Mass Index (r=0.724; p<0.01), a high level of relationship between type II diabetes risk factors and waist circumference (r=737; p<0.01) and a low level of relationship between type II diabetes risk factors and sitting time (r=-0.229; p<0.01). According to the results of this study, it was determined that as the physical activity level decreased, the type II risk level increased, and as the body mass index, waist circumference and sitting time increased, the type II diabetes risk factors increased. As a result, it can be said that the type II diabetes risk factors decreased as the physical activity level of female students increased. In line with the results of this study, it is thought that it would be useful to examine healthy eating behaviors and physical activity level as diabetes risk factors. In order to increase awareness, comprehensive health education is needed to encourage type II DM prevention programs in universities and schools.
