Results: The results indicated that, the average Boy mass index of the volunteers was 22.53(3.82) and the mean age was 19.17 (0.704). Most of the anthropometric parameters were significantly decreased and barriers of cognitive styles were increased in females than males. Barriers to Systematic analysis and confidence level were negatively correlated with ideal body weight. Hb level was negatively correlated with barriers to confidence level, need for conformity and work pattern. These changes were statistically significant (p< 0.05).
